A few questions on View/PCOIP...

We're starting to look at Zero Clients.

- When will View/PCOIP support isochronous devices like webcams?

- When I plug in a USB headset, it causes video framerate to drop dramatically. I assume this is due to lack of isochronous support?

- Would a thin client work better with multimedia than a zero client?

- Aero glass I assume is not supported at all? Obviously needs a GPU and with PCOIP using host side rendering, I assume this is just not supported?

- Zero clients I assume do not support RDP7?

Good decission Smiley Wink

- When will View/PCOIP support isochronous devices like webcams?

You should talk to a VMware sales rep about that and possibly they can give you an NDA overview. At the moment webcams are explicitly not supported.

- When I plug in a USB headset, it causes video framerate to drop

dramatically. I assume this is due to lack of isochronous support?

Possible. You can try to use the PCoIP.adm group policy template to tune the PCoIP protocol. You can find it in the View servers program files directory.

- Would a thin client work better with multimedia than a zero client?

I assume they will have the same quality depending on the used hardware. the zero clients have a Tera 1 Chip for PCoIP.

- Aero glass I assume is not supported at all? Obviously needs a GPU

andwith PCOIP using host side rendering, I assume this is just not

supported?

Correct.

- Zero clients I assume do not support RDP7?

Correct. I think Zero and Thin Clients do support 5.2.
