Using the ARMC/3P with low bandwidth
The network connection of the ARMC/3P has an important influence on the time
between two single video pictures. On a connection with low bandwidth it takes
longer to transfer the video data from the ARMC/3P to the Remote Console on the
local host. If the remote screen has changed a new picture is sent.
In terms of transfer time there is no difference between text screens and screens in
graphics mode. The video picture is taken as graphics data no matter what the
screen looks like and which video mode is chosen. In terms of transferred data
there can be an improvement. The compression plays an important role here. You
can choose a compression level from the sub menu
Compression in the Options
menu of the Remote Console.
Please note that the video will be compressed on the ARMC/3P, transferred to the
Remote Console and unpacked in a Java environment. Depending on the remote
host and on the local machine this procedure may take some time and may result
in a slowly updated picture in the Remote Console.
To improve the speed you may also set the picture quality in the Remote Console
to either “8 bit” or even to grayscale. Due to less video data to be processed this is
likely to be more effective than the highest compression level.
