KVM-0850/1650 IP KVM switch
• Encoding
Allows to adjust both compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending
on the selected compression rate the data stream between the KVM-0850/1650 and
the Remote Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Since high
compression rates are very time consuming, they should not be used while several
users are accessing the KVM-0850/1650 simultaneously.
The standard color depth is 8 Bit (256 colors). The other color depths are intended for
slower network connections in order to allow a faster transmission of data. Therefore
compression level 0 (no compression) uses only 8 Bit color depth. At lower
bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit (4 grey scales) are recommended for
typical desktop interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best results with 4 Bit (16 grey
scales). 1 Bit color depth (black/white) should only be used for extremely slow
network connections.
