Features of RDP 8.1
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) H.264 and VOR is enabled by default for all ThinOS v8.5-based devices.
Remote desktops such as Window 8, Window 8.1, Window 10, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016 are supported
in this release.
The following are the dependencies of RDP 8.1:
● Dependence 1—RDP GFX status, H.264 and VOR work only when GFX is enabled.
● Dependence 2—VOR is dynamic. So the enablement / disablement of VOR dynamically changes during the change in the
video resolution (enlarge/shrink).
● Dependence 3—H.264 enablement is decided at the beginning of connection, depending on the maximum resolution
available for the session.
The following INI parameter must be set to enable GFX, H.264 and VOR:
SessionConfig=RDP EnableGFX=yes/no EnableVOR=yes/no
enablerdph264=yes/no
Verifying the status of VOR or H.264
● When the feature is enabled and when enablement dependencies are valid, the following screens are displayed in the Event
Log tab:
