browser and then directs the output of that video to the vSpace transcoding engine which creates a low-bandwidth stream that is transmitted to the L300 device over the network. The L300 then decompresses and scales the video stream in hardware up to full screen resolutions for optimal video quality.

Users will find that video on popular websites such as YouTube™ will display full-motion content up to 480p that can scale to full-screen at 1920x1080 resolution. During this process the display might show a very brief blue window where the streaming content is going to play, this is part of vSpace setting up for the transcoding process.

Browser-based animation optimization

Flash animations are optimized through vSpace and default rendering in the L300. The native rendering of desktop application content by vSpace assures that users get fast updates, smooth scrolling, and synchronized audio. The hardware-optimized performance of the L300 gives users a great multimedia experience.

The vSpace Management Console is used to administrate client sessions and configure advanced features. Several basic console commands can be accessed by administrators through the vSpace system tray icon. These include:

∙vSpace Management Console – This opens the Management Console so that advanced settings and configurations can be made for the client sessions.

∙Station Information – Displays basic identifying data for the current access device.

∙vSpace - Send Message – Opens the vSpace messaging window, which can be used to display messages on any terminal connected to the same host.

Non-administrator users also have access to several settings through the vSpace system tray icon. These include:

∙Station Information (see above)

∙vSpace - Send Message (see above)

∙Browser Acceleration – Enable or disable Browser Acceleration to alter browser-based streaming-media performance (L300 access devices only).

∙vSpace - Keyboard Settings – Configure the station’s keyboard default num-lock, caps-lock, and scroll- lock states (access devices only).

To make advanced configurations, launch the vSpace Administration Console either from the (administrator session’s) system tray icon or by the Start Menu shortcut labeled “vSpace Console”.
