Adjusting video performance settings
Video quality and ColorScale options affect product performance, image resolution,
and color depth. For high-bandwidth connections, you can adjust the video quality
to increase performance. For low-bandwidth connections, you can adjust the color
levels to increase performance. If a sharper display is more important to you than
color, use the 4 colors setting. This setting changes the color to gray scale, but
provides sharper resolution.
By default, pcAnywhere automatically detects the connection speed and applies
the video quality and ColorScale performance settings to that connection.
See “Changing display settings during a remote control session” on page 119.
