Step 1: Configure the Target Server
Target Server Video Resolutions
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, a
target server running a graphical user interface such as
Windows, X-Windows, Solaris, and KDE should be configured
with desktop backgrounds set to a predominantly solid, light-
colored graphic.
Backgrounds featuring photos or complex gradients should be
avoided.
Ensure that the server's video resolution and refresh rate are
supported by the KX II-101-V2, and that the signal is non-
interlaced.
See KX II-101-V2 online help for a list of support target server
resolutions.
