Transmission Encoding
The Transmission Encoding setting allows changing the image-encoding algorithm that is used to
transmit the video data to the Remote Console window. It is possible to optimize the speed of the remote
screen depending on the number of users working at the same time and the bandwidth of the network
connection (Modem, ISDN, DSL, LAN, etc.).
Automatic detection
The encoding and the compression level is determined automatically from the available bandwidth
and the current content of the video image.
Pre-configured
The pre-configured settings deliver the best result due to the optimized adjustment of the
compression level and color depth for the indicated network speed.
Manually
Allows to adjust both compression rate and the color depth individually. Depending on the selected
compression rate the data stream between the ASMI module 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 ASMI module simultaneously.
The standard color depth is 16 Bit (65536 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 16 Bit color depth. For lower bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2
Bit (4 gray scales) are recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-like pictures have best
results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1 Bit color depth (black/white) should only be used for extremely
slow network connections.
