Color depth

daniele.ciattaglia — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:36:34 GMT

Hi everyone,

i would like to let the user decide the quality of the image or color depth in their connection.

How can i do that?
It's possible to do that?
It's possible to see the changes realtime? (like vnc for example that let me choose the color depth in my connection)

Should i use the JPEGCompressionLevel or CustomCompressionLevel properties?

thank you so much in advance
Best regards

Daniele

Hi,
Color depth is controlled via RestrictPixel property. By default the property is set to FALSE, which means all the possible colors are used. In case if you set it to TRUE, a remote screen image with use 8-bit color palette.

It's not possible to switch color palette if connection was already established. The same is true for JPEG/Custom compression properties.
The difference between those two is that enabling JPEG compression will apply JPEG compression, which will degrade image quality, but in general it also requires less bandwidth. Custom compression applies lossless ZIP-like compression to the data stream. You can have both JPEG and Custom compressions enabled at the same time.
