Parameters:

Video quality   Video source quality selection.
                Only valid if your devices have multiple subchannnels/substreams 
                of a different quality. 'Auto select' is the preferred mode.
Video refresh   Refreshes all video players at this interval. Note that you will 
                see a black screen for a few seconds every time this happens.
Video timeout   Video timeout when playback starts.
Video buffer    Video buffer time, you might need to increase this value when 
                your video playback is unreliable (like a slow WAN connection).
                On the other side, increasing this value also increases the time delay.
Look and feel   'Enable OSD' enables status and action messages in the upper left corner.
Background      A background shows 'NO LINK' images behind every video. 
                The dynamic mode changes this background in real-time.
Screen change   Only applicable if you have defined multiple screens. 
                For the normal mode, there is a black screen period 
                of a few seconds between the screen changeovers.
                The fast modes don't suffer from this but have a higher performance impact.
