Video Mode

The Video Mode slider controls each video frame's encoding, affecting video quality, frame rate and bandwidth.

In general, moving the slider to the left results in higher quality at the cost of higher bandwidth and, in some cases, lower frame rate. 

Moving the slider to the right enables stronger compression, reducing the bandwidth per frame, but video quality is reduced.

In situations where system bandwidth is a limiting factor, moving the video mode slider to the right can result in higher frame rates.

When Text Readability is selected as the Optimized setting, the four rightmost modes provide reduced color resolution or no color at all.

These modes are appropriate for administration work where text and GUI elements take priority, and bandwidth is at a premium.
