How to set custom resolution for PCoIP zero clients
PCoIP zero clients enables you to set a custom resolution on the client, which is saved even when the thin client is turned o. This lets you
set a resolution that is dierent from the attached display's native resolution. The following are the steps to set the display resolution:
1 Connect to the On-Screen Display (OSD).
2 Select Options, and then select User Settings.
3 Click Display Topology, and then enable display conguration.
4 Select the display resolution from the list of supported resolution values.
NOTE:
• Zero clients with rmware 3.0 to 3.1.x inherit the native resolution of the attached monitor.
• In the View environments, this capability requires a connection to a VMware View 4.5 or newer virtual desktop. Also, make sure the
VMware View has enough video RAM set to support high resolutions.
Display connectors with PCoIP enabled device
The following information describes various display connectors, ports, and how they are used with a focus on achieving resolution of
2560x1600:
Depending on the PCoIP device, you can have multiple display connectors that have dierent uses, such as:
1 DVI-A—analog video only—This DVI-A is used for analog displays using a DVI-VGA adapter cable.
2 DVI-I—integrated digital and analog video—This DVI-I is used for digital displays with DVI cables or analog displays with a DVI-VGA
adapter cable.
3 DVI-D—digital video only—This can be used for digital displays with DVI cables.
4 Display Port (DP)—This DVI-D can be used for DisplayPort displays with a DisplayPort cable or DVI displays if a DP-DVI adapter cable
is used.
Individual Display Port links support dual-link data rates when operating in Display Port mode supporting resolutions of 2560x1600.
They can also provide single-link data rates when operating in DisplayPort++/DVI mode.
5 Mini DisplayPort (mDP)—This Mini DisplayPort can be used for the Mini Display Port displays with a mDP cable, or a mDP-DP cable
or DVI displays if a mDP-DVI adapter cable is used.
Mini DisplayPort links supports dual-link data rates and 2560x1600 resolutions.
6 Single-link DVI—SL-DVI—The DVI specication allows a maximum pixel clock of 165 MHz to be used on a single-link DVI video
signal. The highest 60Hz-refresh VESA resolution supported by single-link connections is 1920x1200.
7 Dual-link DVI—DL-DVI—Dual-link DVI doubles the number of data pairs, which allows resolutions requiring an eective pixel clock of
up to 330 Hz to be supported. The highest 60 Hz refresh VESA resolution supported by dual-link DVI connections is 2560x1600.
NOTE
: These dual-link connectors can support either single-link data rates or dual-link data rates.
