28 DSView Installer/User Guide
If a DSView user starts a video session by double-clicking on a port or chan-
nel and a color depth setting has not been previously specified, the Video Set-
tings dialog box will appear. The specified setting will be used globally for all
ports or channels and any remote session windows opened from the ports.
The color depths of individual ports and channels can be specified by select-
ing the Video - Settings command in a remote session window. These settings
are saved individually per port and channel and override the global color
depth setting. See Adjusting Video Parameters in Chapter 4 for more informa-
tion on these settings.
