The most suitable compression level should always be seen as a compromise between the network bandwidth that is available on your video picture to be transferred and on the number of changes between two single video pictures We recommend to use a higher compression level if the network bandwidth is low The higher the compression level the more time 1s needed to pack and unpack the video data on either side of the connection The compression quality depends on the video picture itself e g the number of the colors or the diversity of pixels The lower the compression quality the more data have to be sent and the longer it may take to transfer the whole video picture If level 0 1s chosen the video compression 1s disabled completely The option Video Optimized has its advantages if transferring high quality motion pictures In this case the video compression 1s disabled completely and all video data is transferred via network as full quality video snippets Therefore a high amount of bandwidth is required to ensure the quality of the video picture aa Monitor Only Exclusive Access Screenshot to clipboard scaling Mouse Handling Video Optimized Local Cursor v D none Video Settings 1 lowest Retresh Video 2 soft Keyboard d 3 Local Keyboard d 4 Hotkeys d 5 Encoding Predefined 6 Compression 7 Color Depth 8 Lossy 9 highest Figure 4 11 Encoding Compression The next two options allow you to set the
