On July 31, ESX 3.0.2 was released. VMware ESX 3.0.2 is a maintenance release that represents numerous functionality, performance, and compatibility enhancements to VMware ESX Server. As part of this release. VMware has included Wyse multimedia support. With this addition . Wyse Multimedia support can now be installed into compatible guest operating systems, enabling supported devices to receive encoded video streams via RDP/ICA. The decoding of the video is handled by the client device reducing the resources and overhead needed by the virtual machine running on ESX.



Check back for more detailed examples and information. I have been testing the Wyse multimedia enhancements for some time now and plan on posting
more detailed information. Official information and full details can be found here: VMware ESX 3.0.2 Release Notes For information on installing the Wyse multimedia support see KB1001699

Hi there WP,

It seems from the tech article that this component can be added regardless of the actual Hardware Client used? Is this the case?

Would it work just as well for Virtual Desktops run from a traditional PC?

This is not the case. This bundle of the WYSE Multi-Media redirection only works with supported WYSE devices as the end point.

There is no reason you can not use it with VMserver as well. Unless the VMwarer tools including the MMR is added in a patch or dot release you may need to download the MMR software directly from WYSE.
