To control connection speed and set visual effects
Default: Fast LAN (100 Mbit)
Note: If you manually change any of the other options in the Experience tab, the Connection Speed option changes to Custom.
Disables the host's wallpaper during a connection. Disabling the wallpaper improves the performance by increasing the speed of the remote control session when the host is using background wallpaper. For example, the background wallpaper is typically a large bitmap (approximately 3MB), which can take time to transmit over a slow network such as a phone line. Switching this off improves the initial startup time.
Note: This option has no effect when connecting to Linux or Mac OS X hosts.
Default: True
Increases performance, if True, by asking Windows not to display the whole content of a window when it is dragged from one part of the screen to another. Instead, a wire frame is displayed, which decreases the amount of video data being transmitted.
Note: This option has no effect when connecting to Linux or Mac OS X hosts.
Default: False
Disables window and menu animation during a connection. Disabling animation improves performance by increasing the speed of the remote control session when the host is displaying menus and minimizing and maximizing windows.
Note: This option has no effect when connecting to Linux or Mac OS X hosts.
Default: False
Tells the host to set Windows to disable Windows XP-style visual effects. Disabling these results in the use of the Windows classic style taskbar, common controls, and buttons during a remote control session. Performance increases because the amount of video data being sent to the viewer is decreased.
Note: This option has no effect when connecting to Linux or Mac OS X hosts.
Default: False
Embeds missing fonts in the viewer computer. The Embed Missing Fonts option affects the behavior of the viewer when it is viewing a host computer with fonts that the viewer does not have.
When this option is enabled, and the host computer draws some text with a font that the viewer does not have installed, the host automatically sends the font file to the viewer and temporarily installs it there. This enables the viewer to give an accurate reproduction of the host computer’s screen. When the option is disabled, and the host computer draws some text with a font that the viewer does not have installed, the viewer chooses the closest matching font. This closest match does not give a perfect reproduction of the original font and may appear to be a slightly different size.
Note: This option has no effect when connecting to Linux or Mac OS X hosts.
Font files can be large, especially for East Asian languages, so sending the font files during a Remote Control session over a low-bandwidth connection can result in a significant pause while the font file is transmitted. Therefore, the Embed Missing Fonts option is automatically turned off for low-bandwidth connections.
Note: The licensing terms of some commercial fonts do not permit embedding. Remote Control automatically uses font matching for these fonts.
Default: True
Note: This option affects only the color of images transmitted. In gray scale mode, most of the host view is still represented in color.
Valid values are as follows:
Displays bitmaps at their native color depth. No reduction takes place.
Reduces bitmaps to limited range, true-color images. Most images appear indistinguishable from their originals, but some color gradients may appear banded. Dithering can be enabled to mitigate this effect.
Reduces the bandwidth in a way that is less noticeable to users, making it virtually imperceptible from the No Color Reduction option in most cases.
Reduces bitmaps to a very limited color palette, which may cause color distortion in some bitmaps. The 8 bits/pixel color images are the same size as 8 bits/pixel gray scale images. Dithering can be enabled to mitigate this effect.
Reduces bitmaps to 256 shades of gray. This produces a “perfect” gray scale reproduction of the original color bitmap. However, areas of different color that have the same intensity may display as the same shade of gray.
Reduces the bandwidth in a way that is less noticeable to users. This option uses less bandwidth than the TV Color: 12 bits/pixel option, but with some loss of detail.
Reduces bitmaps to 16 shades of gray, with some loss of detail. The 4 bits/pixel images are half the size of 8 bits/pixel images. Dithering can be enabled to mitigate this effect.
Reduces bitmaps to bi-level black and white only. Dithering is recommended for this setting.
Default: No Color Reduction
Note: In CA ITCM Release 12.5, you can also change the color depth during a session using the Color Reduction context menu option.
This option is enabled for certain color depths. It compensates for the loss of color accuracy by alternating between the two colors nearest to the original color. This improves the rendition but reduces performance.
Note: Dithering is only available in High Color: 16 bits/pixel, Low Color: 8 bits/pixel, Greyscale: 4 bits/pixel, and Greyscale: 1 bit/pixel reduction.
Your visual effects settings are saved.
