Appendix 3 - VNC viewer connection options
When you are connecting to the 
AdderView CATxIP 5000 using 
the VNC viewer, a number of 
options are available. 
Colour/Encoding
Auto select
When ticked, this option will 
examine the speed of your 
connection to the AdderView 
CATxIP 5000 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 unticked. 
• 
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 AdderView CATxIP 5000 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. 
Colour level
This section allows you to select the most appropriate colour level for the speed 
of the connection to the AdderView CATxIP 5000. Where the connection speed 
is slow or inconsistent there will be a necessary compromise between screen 
response and colour depth.
• 
Full – This mode is suitable only for fast network connections and will pass 
on the maximum colour depth being used by the host system.
• 
Medium ( colours) – This mode reduces the host system output 
to a 256 colour mode and is more suitable for ISDN and fast modem 
connections.
• 
Low ( colours) – This mode is suitable for slower modem connections 
and reduces the host system output to 64 colours. 
• 
Very low ( colours) – This mode provides very rudimentary picture 
quality and hardly any speed advantage over the 64 colour setting. You are 
recommended not to use this mode.   
IMPORTANT: If you make any changes to the options given here and wish to 
retain them for successive connection sessions, you must save the changes.  
To do this, change to the ‘Load/Save’ tab and click the ‘Save’ button within the 
‘Default’ section.
