1.6.10.1 Minimum 

Image 

Quality 

The 

Minimum Image Quality

 slider allows the administrator to make compromises 

between image quality and frame rate when network bandwidth is limited. Some usage 
cases may require lower-quality images at a higher frame rate, while in other cases 
higher-quality images at a lower frame rate may be preferred.  

In environments where the network bandwidth is constrained, moving the slider towards 

Reduced

 allows higher frame rates; moving the slider towards 

Perception-Free

 allows 

higher image quality. When network bandwidth is not constrained, the PCoIP system will 
maintain perception-free quality regardless of the Minimum Image Quality setting.  

Note: The Minimum Image Quality must be less than or equal to the Maximum Initial 
Image Quality. 

Note: The 

Minimum Image Quality

 can also be configured using the Portal OSD. See 

Section 2.6.3 Image. 

See Section 4.3 Bandwidth and Image Configuration Example for an example on setting 
the 

Minimum Image Quality. 

1.6.10.2 

Maximum Initial Image Quality 

The 

Maximum Initial Image Quality

 slider can be used to reduce network bandwidth 

peaks caused by screen content changes. This setting limits the initial quality on the first 
video frame of a screen change. Unchanged regions of the image will build to a lossless 
state regardless of this setting.  

Note: The Maximum Initial Image Quality must be greater than or equal to the Minimum 
Image Quality. 

Note: The Maximum Initial Image Quality does not have a corresponding parameter on 
the Portal OSD, as it is intended as an administrator-only parameter. 

1.6.11

 

Monitor Emulation 

The 

Monitor Emulation

 webpage allows the monitor emulation feature to be enabled and 

disabled.
