The Dominion KX II dynamic video compression algorithms maintain KVM console usability
under varying bandwidth constraints. Dominion KX II units optimize KVM output not only for
LAN use, but also for WAN and dialup use. These units can also control color depth and limit
video output, offering an optimal balance between video quality and system responsiveness for
any bandwidth.
Connection
Properties
Manually adjust bandwidth-related options (connection speed, color
depth, etc.).
The parameters in the Properties Dialog can be optimized to suit your needs for different
operating environments.
To set the connection properties:

according to bandwidth limitations.

Please note that these settings are an optimization for specific conditions rather than an exact
speed. The client and server always attempt to deliver video as quickly as possible on the
network regardless of the current network speed and encoding setting. But the system will be
most responsive when the settings match the real world environment.
