DirectDraw support (Windows only)
The DirectDraw option affects operation of the Video Viewer when running on Windows operating
systems. The software supports DirectDraw, a standard that you can use to directly manipulate
video display memory, hardware blitting, hardware overlays and page flipping without the
intervention of the Graphical Device Interface (GDI). This can result in smoother animation and
improvement in the performance of display-intensive software.
However, if the machine has a software cursor or pointer shadow enabled, or if the video driver
does not support DirectDraw, you can experience a flicker in the mouse cursor when over the title
bar of the Video Viewer. You can either disable the software cursor or pointer shadow, load a new
target device driver for the video card, or disable DirectDraw.
To view or change DirectDraw support:
1. Select Tools — Options from the Network Access Software menu. The General Options
window opens.
2. In the DirectDraw field, select or clear the DirectDraw checkbox.
3. Click OK.
HTTP/HTTPS options
Network Access Software allows port numbers to be entered and stored with a KVM switch so that
subsequent requests can go to these ports on the KVM switch’s web server. You can specify default
HTTP and HTTPS ports to be used throughout the application.
To change HTTP/HTTPS options:
1. Select Tools - Options from the Network Access Software menu. The Options dialog box
appears.
2. Click the HTTP/HTTPS Ports tab.
3. Enter the appropriate ports in the HTTP Port and HTTPS Port fields.
