ULTRAMATRIX REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL 49
Appendix F – VNC Viewer Options
When you are connecting to the UltraMatrix Remote 2 unit using the VNC viewer, a number of options are
available.
Click the Options… button
There are six tabbed pages of options:
Color/Encoding
Auto select
When ticked, this option will examine the speed of your
connection to the UltraMatrix Remote 2 unit and apply the most
suitable encoding method. This option is suggested for the
majority of installations.
Preferred encoding
There are three manually selectable encoding methods which
are accessible when the Auto select option is un-ticked.
 ZRLE – This is a highly compressed method that is best
suited to slow modem connections.
 Hextile – This method offers better performance than the
ZRLE when used over a high speed network because there
is no need for the UltraMatrix
Remote 2 to spend time highly compressing the data.
 Raw – This is a primitive, uncompressed method that is
mainly used for technical support issues. You are
recommended not to use this method.
Color level
This section allows you to select the most appropriate color level
for the speed of the connection to the UltraMatrix Remote 2 unit.
Where the connection speed is slow or inconsistent there will be
a necessary compromise between screen response and color
depth.
 Full – This mode is suitable only for fast network
connections and will pass on the maximum color depth
being used by the host system.
 Medium (256 colors) – This mode reduces the host
system output to a 256 color mode and is more suitable for
ISDN and fast modem connections.
 Low (64 colors) – This mode is suitable for slower modem
connections and reduces the host system output to 64
colors.
 Very low (8 colors) – This mode provides very rudimentary
picture quality and hardly any speed advantage over the 64
color setting. You are recommended not to use this mode.
