○ Wyse 5040 AIO thin client
○ Wyse 5060 thin client
○ Wyse 5070 thin client
● Supports the High Color Accuracy feature in a Blast session with H.264 enabled. H.264 is disabled by default from this
release. You can enable H.264 using GUI or INI parameters.
The High Color Accuracy option enables Horizon Client to use a superior color fidelity when H.264 decoding is enabled. To
enable the High Color Accuracy feature, go to Global Connection Settings, click the Horizon tab, and select the High
Color Accuracy check box.
The High Color Accuracy option is available on the following platforms:
○ Wyse 3030 LT thin client
○ Wyse 3040 thin client
○ Wyse 5060 thin client
○ Wyse 5070 thin client
You can also use the INI parameter SessionConfig=BLAST RemoteDisplay.allowClientH264YUV444=TRUE/
FALSE to enable the High Color Accuracy feature.
● Supports the Username Hint option during smart card authentication for the Horizon View broker.
You can enable users to specify the account to be used in the Username Hint field when you log in to a Horizon View
session using a smart card. To enable the Username Hint option, go to the View Administrator Admin console, and select
the Allow smart card user hints check box when editing the View Server Connection settings. Enabling this option allows
you to use a single smart card certificate to authenticate to multiple user accounts.
● Enhanced the reconnect workflow for VMware Horizon View broker using the INI parameter VMWaitTimer={0–3600}.
The option VMWaitTimer specifies the time remaining in seconds for reconnecting to a Horizon desktop before exiting the
desktop. When the connection fails while connecting to a Horizon desktop, a message Horizon Error- Waiting to
recover is displayed along with the countdown timer.
