HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

this enables RGS to be used on standard networks. Image decompression is performed on the Local
Computer.
RGS supports setting of the Image quality on a per-Receiver basis. Image quality is adjusted using the
slide bar in the Remote Display Window Toolbar (see
Figure 2-14 Image quality slide bar in the
Remote Display Window Toolbar on page 24). As the image quality is increased toward 100, the
amount of compression decreases, and the required network bandwidth increases. If a Receiver is
supporting multiple Remote Display Windows (see
Many-to-one connection on page 17) the slide bar in
any Remote Display Window Toolbar can be adjusted—the slide bars in the other Remote Display
Windows will automatically track.
The Boost checkbox was added beginning with RGS 5.2.6, and requires that both the RGS Sender and
Receiver be version 5.2.6 or later. Checking the Boost checkbox will improve (boost) image quality for
certain types of images, primarily images containing significant amounts of text or lines. For further
information, see
Remote Display Window Toolbar on page 91 .

NOTE: Even with an image quality of 100, RGS still performs some image compression to reduce the
network bandwidth requirements. While the image quality on the Receiver will usually appear visually
lossless to the user, the actual image data sent over the network will be “lossy” to a limited extent. The
exception is the Sender codec JPEG-LS which is mathematically lossless. See
Sender general properties
on page 176 for more information.
2.16 Remote USB overview
RGS supports remote USB, which allows USB devices connected to the Local Computer (local USB
devices) to be attached to a Remote Computer. Remote USB is supported on Remote Computers running
Windows, and enables the Remote Computer to have direct access to the local USB devices as if they
are connected directly to the Remote Computer (see
Figure 2-15 Remote Computer can access the local
USB devices on page 24). For details on remote USB, see Remote USB operation on page 115.
