More Tips for Server Desktop Configuration
Several aspects have to be taken into consideration and maybe configured on your computers or servers for
best performance:
(1)
Resolution modes should refrain from too much peculiarity and better adopt ones that are within PRIMA
IP’s standard support.
(2)
Turn off the Menu special transition effects on your operating system (especially on Windows XP, if
you are using any) such as fade for best video refreshing effect, especially when you are using Medium
or Low Video Quality as your video filter setting on PRIMA IP.
(3)
Adjust the server desktop backgrounds as containing preferably plain, solid colors with simple designs
(only for improving video refreshing speed when bandwidth is critically limited. No need to do so when
bandwidth is ample)
2.4.1 Configure Display Resolution on your Server
Prima IP supports most display modes up to 1600 x 1200. However, you might encounter some display
problems when your display card is outputting an unusual display mode. These possible problems are either
no video or abnormal display on viewer screen.
To simplify the display factor before connection to Prima IP, we suggest you use more standard display
modes such as: 800 x 600 @ 60Hz, 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz, etc. For the suggested display modes, please refer
to the following table.
640 x

Note:
These are suggested display modes for server desktop-connected Prima IP. However, the actual
display modes for as specific server desktop will be dependent on its display card. Some display modes listed
here might not be feasible with some display card. Try to do some trials to determine the best display mode
for your desktop on Prima IP viewer.
2.4.2 Turn off the Special Transition Effects
On Windows platforms such as XP, 2003 Server, Vista, some transition effects might yield undesirable video
refreshing artifacts, especially when you are using Medium or Low Video Quality as your video filter
settings. To avoid undesirable artifacts from appearing on your screen, please turn off the special transition
effects. Go to Control Panel/ Display / Appearance / Effects. Then uncheck the option to disable transition
effects such as Fade for the menus and tool tips. You should perform the same check on each of your
connected servers.
