30 DOMINION KX USER M ANUAL− Smoothing: The video Smoothing level you set instructs Dominion KX to what degree colorgradation shifts are relevant for transmission. Video pixels that stray from the majority colorare assigned approximated color values to reduce bandwidth used and video noise transmitted.Overly high smoothing levels can result in color inaccuracies; whereas lower smoothinglevels require greater bandwidth and processing power.2.

On the Video menu, click Video Settings. The Settings window appears.Figure 29 Settings WindowMost settings here are refreshed by performing a Color Calibration (described in the next section), or bymanually forcing Dominion KX to auto-detect the video settings (on the Video menu, click Auto-senseVideo Settings). However, it is useful to understand the settings.− Noise Filter: Dominion KX can filter out electrical interference of video output from graphicscards. This feature optimizes picture quality and reduced used bandwidth. Higher: Noise Filter settings instruct Dominion KX to transmit a variant pixel of video onlyif a large color variation exists in comparison to its neighbors. However, setting the thresholdtoo high can result in the unintentional filtering of desired screen changes. Lower: Noise Filter settings instruct Dominion KX to transmit most pixel changes. Settingthis threshold too low can result in higher bandwidth use.Note: Lower Noise Filter settings (approximately 1 to 4) are recommended. Although higher settings willstop the needless transmission of false color variations, true and intentional small changes to a videoimage may not be transmitted.
