Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View

Table 11‑4. Desktop Pool Setting Descriptions (Continued)
Setting Options
Override global
Mirage settings
To specify the same Mirage server for all desktop pools, use the global View configuration setting
rather than this pool-specific setting.
Mirage Server
configuration
Allows you to specify the URL of a Mirage server, using the format
mirage://server-name:port or mirages://server-name:port. Here server-name is the fully
qualified domain name. If you do not specify the port number, the default port number 8000 is
used.
Specifying the Mirage server in View Administrator is an alternative to specifying the Mirage
server when installing the Mirage client. To find out which versions of Mirage support having the
server specified in View Administrator, see the Mirage documentation, at
https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/mirage_pubs.html.
Adobe Flash Quality and Throttling
You can specify a maximum allowable level of quality for Adobe Flash content that overrides Web page
settings. If Adobe Flash quality for a Web page is higher than the maximum level allowed, quality is
reduced to the specified maximum. Lower quality results in more bandwidth savings.
To make use of Adobe Flash bandwidth-reduction settings, Adobe Flash must not be running in full screen
mode.
Table 11-5 shows the available Adobe Flash render-quality settings.
Table 11‑5. Adobe Flash Quality Settings
Quality Setting Description
Do not control Quality is determined by Web page settings.
Low This setting results in the most bandwidth savings.
Medium This setting results in moderate bandwidth savings.
High This setting results in the least bandwidth savings.
If no maximum level of quality is specified, the system defaults to a value of Low.
Adobe Flash uses timer services to update what is shown on the screen at a given time. A typical Adobe
Flash timer interval value is between 4 and 50 milliseconds. By throttling, or prolonging, the interval, you
can reduce the frame rate and thereby reduce bandwidth.
Table 11-6 shows the available Adobe Flash throttling settings.
Table 11‑6. Adobe Flash Throttling Settings
Throttling Setting Description
Disabled No throttling is performed. The timer interval is not modified.
Conservative Timer interval is 100 milliseconds. This setting results in the lowest number of
dropped frames.
Moderate Timer interval is 500 milliseconds.
Aggressive Timer interval is 2500 milliseconds. This setting results in the highest number of
dropped frames.
Audio speed remains constant regardless of which throttling setting you select.
