Miscellaneous Video Settings
• Noise filter
This option defines how the IP-KVM switch reacts to small changes in the video
input signal. Turning on the noise filter can help reduce video flickering that is
often caused by distortions, as well as lowering unnecessary bandwidth
consumption. A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster
video display, but small changes in some display regions may not be recognized
immediately. A small filter displays all changes instantly but may lead to a
constant amount of network traffic even if the display content is not really
changing (depending on the quality of the video input signal). All in all the default
setting should be suitable for most situations.
• Force Composite Sync (Required for Sun Computers)
When connecting the device directly to legacy Sun computer (with composite
sync as the video output, it may be possible that IP-KVM don’t recognize the
composite sync automatically. To support signal transmission from a Sun
machine, enable this option. If not enabled the picture of the remote console will
not be visible.
To set the options, click on the button “Apply”
