6.4.13 Encoding
These options are used to adjust the encoding level in terms of compression and color depth.
They are available unless "Transmission Encoding" is determined automatically.
Compression Level: You may select a value between 1 and 9 for the desired compression
level, with level 1 enabling the fastest compression and level 9 the best compression. The most
suitable compression level should always be seen as a compromise between the network
bandwidth that is available, on your video picture to be transferred, and on the number of
changes between two single video pictures. We recommend using a higher compression level if
the network bandwidth is low. The higher the compression level, the more time is necessary to
pack or unpack the video data on either side of the connection. The compression quality
depends on the video picture itself, e.g. the number of the colors or the diversity of pixels. The
lower the compression quality, the more data has to be sent and the longer it may take to
transfer the whole video picture. If level 0 is chosen, the video compression is disabled
completely.

Predefined & Lossy Compression: The Predefined menu displays preset compression options
as show in the figure below. Lossy compression can be used but may lead to degradation in
image quality.
