Managing Compression & Bandwidth Settings
VN-MATRIX can apply various types of compression to an input source in order to reduce the volume
of source data being streamed across the network.
In addition, various parameters are provided to manage and, if necessary, limit the amount of data
flow to ensure that the available network bandwidth is not exceeded.
The default compression settings applied by VN-MATRIX offer a good balance between the quality of
the displayed material and network bandwidth. Where network bandwidth is restricted, extra
compression can be applied. Depending on the source type and content, significant reduction in
streamed data can be achieved with little or no perceptible affect on image quality.
Alternatively, where network bandwidth is not an issue, compression can be removed altogether.
However, in most cases, there is no real benefit in doing this due to the highly efficient compression
algorithms used by VN-MATRIX.
All compression and bandwidth settings are accessed via the Bandwidth Page (see page 70).
