HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

HP compression/decompression algorithms—Proprietary, high-performance HP image
compression/decompression algorithms enable real-time remote visualization that is visually
lossless and highly interactive.
Selective screen updates—Only those portions of the screen which change are captured,
compressed, and transmitted from the Remote Computer to the Local Computer, further improving
performance.
Security—RGS supports many security features, including encryption of the pixel data sent from
the Remote Computer to the Local Computer.
Collaboration—Multiple users can simultaneously connect to the same Remote Computer,
allowing the users to view and interact with the same desktop session and applications.
1.4 Additional RGS features
RGS provides many additional features, including:
3D application support—Users can interact with OpenGL 3D applications running on the
Remote Computer. Direct3D applications can be used as well, provided they are not in full-screen
mode. 3D applications use the full power of graphics acceleration hardware on the Remote
Computer.
Remote USB—USB devices connected to the Local Computer can be attached to, and accessed
by, the Remote Computer.
Remote Audio—Smooth, continuous, low-latency, high-quality remote audio is transmitted from
the RGS Sender to the RGS Receiver.
Audio follows focus—The RGS Receiver can be configured to enable audio for the session
displayed in the Remote Display Window that currently has focus, and is muted for all other
remote sessions/windows.
Directory Mode—Directory Mode enables the Receiver to look up a user’s pre-assigned
computers from a file.
Easy Login—Enables fewer authentication steps when connecting to an HP blade workstation
running Windows XP Professional.
Single Sign-on—Enables fewer authentication steps and automatic login and unlocking of the
desktop when connecting to an HP workstation running Windows XP Professional.
Windows Event Logging—Network outages or loss of connectivity between a Receiver and
Sender can leave a desktop session running without supervision. To safeguard running
applications, customer-designed agents can monitor the status of connections to determine if
termination of applications is required. Windows event logging provides a mechanism for agents
to determine the status of the connection between the Receiver and Sender.
NOTE: See the RGS 5.4 data sheet for latest list of features.
