88 DSView Installer/User Guide
See the DSR Installer/User Guide for information about how the keys on a standard Type 5 Sun
keyboard are emulated on a PS/2 keyboard.
Setting the Window Size
When the DSView management software is used for the first time, any Video Viewer windows that
are opened from a DS appliance/DSR switch port or channel in any DSView management software
sessions will display at a resolution of 1024 x 768 until the value is changed by a DS user. Each
Video Viewer window may be set to a different resolution.
The DSView management software will automatically adjust the display if the window size
changes during a session as long as autoscaling is enabled. When a DS user accesses a channel via
sharing, the display will be adjusted to match the input resolution of the first DS user to access that
channel. This will prevent the first DS user’s display from being affected. If the target device’s
resolution changes any time during a session, the display will be adjusted automatically.
To change the Video Viewer window resolution:
Select the View - Scaling command and then click on the desired resolution.
Adjusting the View
Using menus or Task buttons in the Video Viewer window, you may:
• Align the mouse cursors.
• Refresh the screen.
• Enable or disable Full Screen mode.
• Enable automatic or manual scaling of the session image. With automatic scaling, the desktop
window remains fixed and the device image is scaled to fit the window. With manual scaling, a
drop-down menu of supported image scaling resolutions is displayed.
• Specify the connection speed to the appliance. This value is used to throttle the video stream
based on the available bandwidth, which allows the system to optimize its operation.
• Changing the color of depth compression of the session image (DSR switches with Dambrac-
kas Video Compression
™ (DVC) algorithm upgrade only).
NOTE: The DVC algorithm upgrade is standard on all newer DS appliances/DSR switches. Older DS appliances/
DSR switches use standard video compression with 8-bit color depth (256 colors). For DVC algorithm upgrade
purchase information, contact Avocent Technical Support or your Avocent reseller.
To align the mouse cursors:
Click the Align Local Cursor button in the Video Viewer window toolbar. The local cursor will
align with the cursor on the remote device.
If cursors drift out of alignment, turn off mouse acceleration in the device.
