Auto Configuration
Use the Auto Configuration submenu to define whether the Local unit carries out automatic detection of the number of
pixels per line and the best phase after a mode change (a change of screen resolution and/or refresh rate at the graphics source).
Using automatic detection (while displaying an appropriate test pattern) ensures an optimized image, but the procedure
introduces a delay in the picture appearing on the remote console screen. If you want the picture to appear as fast as possible,
and can tolerate a nonoptimized image, you may want to disable this feature. Please note that Auto Configuration is disabled in
the default factory settings.
To view the Auto Configuration menu, select the Tools icon from the main menu and then select the Auto Configuration icon.

Color Depth
Use the Color Depth submenu to select the color depth of the transmitted screen picture. Transmissions can be in high
color mode or low color mode. High color mode produces a better quality image but results in a lower frame rate (fps). Use low
color mode if you require fast screen changes, for example, in video applications. Use high color mode if you need precise images,
for example, in medical applications. Please see Appendix D: Video Modes and Frame Rates for more information about frame
rates and supported screen resolutions.
