Limitations
DP audio features and limitations
There are some feature limitations for DP audio on the Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client.
● DP audio is disabled by default.
● Hot plug is not supported. The DP cable must be plugged in first, the power on or reboot the AIO to make the DP audio
function.
● Converter is not supported.
● Turning off or turning on the display is not supported. Restart the thin client for the DP audio to work in the following
scenarios:
○ If the power button is pressed, to power off, and then power on the display
○ If you use Turn Off Screen as the screen saver
○ If you click Apply in the Display setup window
Camera
The features and limitations depend on the type of camera that is used. It is recommended to use a camera such as Logitech
C930e that supports hardware encoding.
The integrated camera on the Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client does not support hardware encoding, so the performance is
limited as the following:
● On an RTME-enabled thin client, the camera performance is limited to a maximum resolution of 960 x 540 using Full HD
configuration, and 1280 x 720 if Logitech C930e camera is used.
● On a JVDI-enabled client, the CPU usage of the integrated camera is 10% higher than the CPU usage of Logitech C930e
camera. The difference in the CPU usage is observed while video calling on Cisco Jabber in an ICA session.
