Encoding
Figure 5-14: Encoding
Allows the user to adjust both the compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending
on the selected compression rate, the data stream between the freeView IP 100 and the Remote
Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Increasing the compression rate
requires more resources from the freeView IP 100, thus should not be used when multiple users
are accessing the remote console simultaneously.
The default color depth is 16 Bit (65536 colors). The other color depths are intended for slower
network connections since they require less bandwidth. Therefore compression level 0 (no
compression) uses only 16 Bit color depth. At lower bandwidths, only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit
(4 gray scales) are recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-quality 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.
