Basic Operation 31
The Color sub-menu allows you to set the color depths at which the digital image can be
compressed. The 2161DS-2 and 4161DS Remote Console Switches support the Dambrackas
Video Compression (DVC) algorithm, which enables the Remote Console Switch Software
users to adjust the number of viewable colors in a remote session window. You may choose to
display more colors for the best fidelity, or fewer colors to reduce the volume of data transferred
on the network.
The Viewer window can be viewed using the Best Color Available (slower updates), Best
Compression (fastest updates), a combination of Best Color and Best Compression or in
Grayscale.
The color depths of individual ports and channels can be specified by selecting the View - Color
command in a Remote Session window. These settings are saved individually per port and
channel.
To set the color depth:
From the View menu, choose Color and select a color depth from the Color sub-menu.
To manually adjust the video quality of the Viewer window:
1 Select Tools - Manual Video Adjust. The Manual Video Adjust dialog box appears.
2 Click the icon for the feature you wish to adjust.
3 Move the slider bar or click the Minus (-) or Plus (+) buttons to adjust the parameter for
each icon pressed. The adjustments will display immediately in the Viewer window.
4 When finished, click Close to exit the Manual Video Adjust dialog box.
