[AG-TECH] VPCScreen Capture

[gurcharan khanna]

Jason,

What is the maximum pixel resolution of the transmitted image?

And is the framerate a max of 10 as indicated on the screenshot?

Thanks,

-gurcharan

PS I am looking for a way to transmit the entire desktop at full resolution
and 30 fps. Doing it without additional hardware would be great!
