Help / Info
Shows the software version of the IGEL VNC Viewer.
You can specify the following parameters as options:
Preferred Coding
The coding used when sending image data from the thin client to your PC. The coding option Tight is particularly useful in a network with a low bandwidth. It contains two additional parameters:
Compression level: The higher the compression, the longer the computing operation takes!
JPEG quality: If you select Off, no JPEG data will be sent.
Use Draw Rectangle Method
This option improves performance. However, artifacts may be encountered.
Color Depth
8 or 24 bits per pixel
Update Period
Time period between two updates. A longer time period reduces network traffic, but the update may not be seamless. Please note: An update query will be sent as soon as you move the mouse or enter a key in the VNC Viewer. This event will be passed on to the remote host.
Save Properties as Standard Values
Saves the current settings as standard values for future VNC sessions.
