for VDI software offloads the audio or video processing from the virtual desktop servers to the thin client. All audio and video
signals are routed directly between the endpoints without entering the HVD.
Cisco Jabber Softphone for VDI enables you to make and receive calls using the Cisco Unified Communications application.
Cisco Jabber Softphone for VDI consists of the following two components:
● Cisco JVDI Agent
● Cisco JVDI Client
Cisco JVDI Agent is the JVDI connector that runs on the Citrix desktop or server. Cisco JVDI client is the JVDI package that
runs on the thin client. The Jabber client that runs on the Citrix server handles the authentication and the media processing is
achieved on the thin client.

● Dell Wyse 3040 thin client supports video call up to 360p. The video call with 720p is not supported due to high CPU cost
with multimedia playback simultaneously. Dell recommends that you restrict the video up to 360p in the server settings.
