6. Start the audio or video calls.
Dependencies and known issues
● Dependency: RTME.i386.pkg needs to be installed for RTAV video.
● The answer call button of the local audio device, supported by HDX RTME, is not supported by RTAV.
● RTAV does not support RDS desktop, for example, 2008 R2/ 2012 R2 according to VMware.
● Support for PCoIP and Blast protocol only. RDP protocol is not supported according to VMware.
● Webcam preferences are not supported. For example, the first webcam displayed in the Camera tab in local peripheral
settings is used always.
● Camera/Video: High Definition video is not supported because of the RTAV limitation. The local camera setting does not
affect RTAV video because of the application design. Dell recommend users not to interfere with the local camera settings.
Support for VMware Blast
VMware Blast display protocol can be used for remote applications and for remote desktops that use virtual machines or
shared-session desktops on an RDS host. Select this protocol connection to display the desktop with the Blast protocol.
NOTE:
When you pause the pointer over the connection icons, the corresponding connection protocols are displayed in
tooltip. This is designed for RDSH applications. From ThinOS 8.4 release, RDSH application is supported for both PCoIP and
Blast protocol. These two protocols share the same application icon, and hence it is necessary for you to pause the pointer
over the connection icons to identify its protocol.
