Vista Remote 2 Installation and Operations Manual
Video Settings
This dialog provides access to all of the key video settings that determine image quality and link
performance.
Using automatic configurations
• Every setting can be individually subjected to an automatic configuration (click the
appropriate ‘Auto’ button) and most can also be manually adjusted.
• Use the Calibrate All button to automatically determine the optimum settings for all items.
Note: Before using the ‘Calibrate All’ option, if possible, remove on-screen display
(OSD) elements generated by any connected KVM switches (such as a host
name label or menu). These OSD elements use different video rates to those of
the host system(s) and can affect the setting of the automatic threshold value.
Vista remote-2 uses an improved calculation procedure to filter out the effect of
these elements. However, best results are obtained when the screen contains
only host system information.
Note: To maximize performance, the threshold level is automatically increased by 50%
when a slow link is detected.
Note: If the Vista Remote-2 is used with one or more KVM switches, the threshold
needs to be higher than 32 due to the significant amounts of ‘noise’ that these
switches introduce. The Vista Remote-2 configuration should detect such noise
and adjust the threshold accordingly.
Setting the Threshold manually
Occasionally it can be useful to manually adjust the Threshold setting, in order to achieve a
setting that best suits your particular requirements.
1 Use the ‘Calibrate All’ function to ensure that all other settings are optimized.
2 Click the Threshold left arrow button to decrement the setting by one and observe the
‘Display Activity’ indicator.
3 Repeat step 2 until the Display Activity indicator suddenly rises to a much higher level (i.e.
50%). This will mean that you have reached the noise boundary. At this point, increment
the Threshold value by 2 or 3 points to achieve an optimum setting.
Virtual Media
The Remote Virtual Media feature is not implemented on this model
