Field
Description
only parameter. This setting does not work in PCoIP sessions
with VMware View virtual desktops running release 5.0 or
earlier.
Disable Build to Lossless
Leave this field unchecked to retain build to lossless. In these
cases, the images continue to be built to a lossless state.
This is the default (recommended) setting.
WARNING: Enabling the Disable Build to Lossless feature will
degrade the image presented to zero client users. Do not
activate the Disable Build to Lossless feature unless zero
client administrators have determined that users do not require
optimal image quality to perform critical functions. It is the sole
responsibility of the zero client administrator to make this
determination.
If you choose to disable build to lossless, PCoIP rapidly
builds the client image to a high quality, perceptually lossless
image. If you enable build to lossless, if the image remains
constant, PCoIP continues to refine the image in the
background until it reaches a fully lossless state. Stopping the
build process when the image reaches the perceptually
lossless stage can deliver significant bandwidth savings. If
you have any questions about this field setting, contact
ClearCube Support.
NOTE: There is no Disable Build to Lossless setting on the
OSD as it is an administrator-only parameter. This setting does
not work in PCoIP sessions with VMware View virtual desktops
running release 5.0 or earlier.
3.7 Network Separation
If zero clients and host cards are on a shared production network, PCoIP traffic might slow
network traffic. If you experience bandwidth issues after addressing typical network issues that
are discussed in this chapter, you might consider separating PCoIP traffic and regular Enterprise
network traffic.
