Adjusting the Viewer Resolution
If Auto Scale is enabled, the Remote Console Switch Software automatically adjusts the display
when the Viewer window size changes during a session. When you access a channel using
sharing, the display is adjusted to match the input resolution selected by the primary user of
that channel. This prevents the primary user's display from being affected. If the resolution
changes any time during a session, the display is adjusted automatically.
When Full Scale is selected, the Viewer adjusts to the screen resolution of the server and sets
the screen size accordingly, up to a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768.
To adjust the size of the Viewer window:
From the menu bar, select View - Scaling - Auto Scale to allow the server image to be scaled
automatically.
or
From the menu bar, select View - Scaling - Full Scale
or
Select a screen resolution from the Scaling sub-menu.

Adjusting the Video Quality
The Viewer offers both automatic and manual video adjustment capability. Generally, the
Automatic Video Adjustment will optimize the video for the best possible view. However, you
may wish to alter the video for your specific needs. Use the slider bar for large adjustments and
the Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons are designed for fine-tuning adjustments.
Adjusting Color Depth
NOTE: The Color command may only be used by the primary user. The command is not available to non-
primary users who are sharing the session.
NOTE: If Background Refresh is enabled from the Session Options dialog, the color depth will be set
automatically to Best Color Available and cannot be changed.
