If you select "Force 1:1 scale" checkbox, resizing this rectangle will cause the changing of Gateway Metrics (Gateway Metrics - is a metrics of image to be transmitted over the network. In previous example Gateway Metrics = 320x240, but not 800x600 or something else). Changing virtual screen size (Capture Metrics) do not affect on work speed, while changing Gateway Metrics do.
