Choose the best video mode
We recommend using a display resolution of 1024x768 @60Hz refresh rate, as 

facilitates fitting multiple windows on your remote desktop. Higher refresh rates put 

unnecessary stress on the quality provided by the video card, and do not provide any 

additional information or benefit.

A digital KVM works by converting the analog video signals emitted by your video 

card into digital data. If there is noise on that signal, then it must also be digitized and 

sent over the network. Quality video cards, in our experience, offer better performance 

simply because they don’t add analog noise.
•  Some external KVM switches generate video noise as well. Try to keep cables short, 

in order to reduce this effect.

•  Enable the Noise Filter option (in the Video Tuning menu) to mitigate noise issues.

The CABCONS1716I will always send as much data as it can, given what’s happening 

on the screen and the actual network performance. When nothing is changing on the 

video screen, zero bytes are sent over the network. If the whole screen is changing, 

then the unit will send as much data as can be supported by your network connection.
•  Network latency, which is the total time it takes for a packet to get to the 

CABCONS1716I and come back, has the biggest impact on perceived performance 

and usability.

•  Network bandwidth has a lesser effect, particularly when just moving  the mouse 

around. Only a few bytes need to be sent when the mouse is moving (and nothing 

else is changing on the screen), but the round-trip-time limits the hand-eye 

coordination of the user if it is too great. Both actual bandwidth and measured 

network latency are shown in the Main Menu.
