Which is the best protocol (Blast or PCoIP) for best video streaming

[arjun7777]

Dear All,

I am working on Vmware horizon 7.9, my master image is windows 10 LTSB and using linked-clone technology to provision VDI.

Am using dell thin client 5070 with wyse management suite, and VDIs are deployed on vSAN.

Am using VMware blast protocol and some local video files are running very poor. it's stucking frame by frame.

Any once can help which is the best protocol for video optimization and performance

Master image with 4 CPU/8GB RAM and 100 GB disk.

PCoIP supports lossless video i believe, see the links below

Thanks for your response,

Unfortunately, my environment will not support PCoIP on thin clients.

Anyone can help with the best performance tunning for video streaming in blast protocol?

Not only protocols but there are many movement elements here

1. Video quality

2. Blast Protocol settings

3. Thin client

I suggest you start with

1. Client. Try the same thing from desktop. You can always try changing protocol here.

2. Bandwidth optimization. Where are you accessing these videos? Within LAN? Is there firewall between. Please see that IDP/IDS is not enabled. These traffics are encrypted and IDS/IPS solution cannot see anything inside but still want to check and kills

3. Check View Client log.

Like #1 suggested by preetam check if the performance is same with a e.g. Windows Desktop Client.

Did you enable h264 on the wyse 5070? I had also performance issues when setting the h264 option on this thin client.
Just do not enable that checkbox for the 5070. It will use h264 in newer firmwares automatically.

Best regards
