ULTRAVIEW REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL 

 

Appendix H – Browser viewer options 

When you are connecting to the UltraView Remote 2 unit using a Web browser and the VNC applet, a number of 
options are available. 

 

Click the Options… button 

  

There are four options pages: 

 

Encoding and color level 

Auto select 

When ticked, this option will examine the speed of your connection to the UltraView Remote 2 
and apply the most suitable encoding method. This option is suggested for the majority of 
installations. 

Preferred encoding 

There are three manually selectable encoding methods which are accessible when the Auto 
select option is un-ticked.  

• 

ZRLE

 – This is a highly compressed method that is best suited to slow modem connections. 

• 

Hextile

 – This method offers better performance than the ZRLE when used over a high speed 

network because there is no need for the UltraView Remote 2 unit to spend time highly 
compressing the data. 

• 

Raw

 – This is a primitive, uncompressed method that is mainly used for technical support 

issues. You are recommended not to use this method.  

Color level 

The color level is fixed at Medium (256 colors) for almost all browsers. 

 

 

Inputs 

View only (ignore mouse & keyboard) 

When ticked, the viewer will not send keyboard or mouse information to the UltraView Remote 2 
unit or host system. 

Accept clipboard from server 

This feature is restricted to software server versions of VNC and has no effect on UltraView 
Remote 2 unit installations. 

Send clipboard to server 

This feature is restricted to software server versions of VNC and has no effect on UltraView 
Remote 2 unit installations. 

 

 

Security 

512 bits (low security) 

Selects the lowest level of encoding for communications between the browser and the UltraView 
Remote 2 unit. 

1024 bits (medium security) 

Selects the middle level of encoding for communications between the browser and the 
UltraView Remote 2 unit. 

2048 bits (high security) 

Selects the highest level of encoding for communications between the browser and the 
UltraView Remote 2 unit.
