About Remote Graphics Software

Image-based remote visualization technology: Proprietary HP image compression/decompression algorithms enable real-time remote visualization that is visually lossless and fast. Interactive remote visualization of 2D and 3D OpenGL graphics are possible using hardware acceleration. DirectX applications are not supported.

Logging: The RGS Sender for Windows logs to the Windows Event Log connection status changes such as when a new connection is established, when a disconnect occurs, the user that is assigned to a connection, and whether that user is a primary or non-primary user.

Multi-head Display: Single-headed receivers can view multi-headed senders. Multi-headed receivers can view single-headed senders. Multi- headed receivers can view multi-headed senders. The view can expand to contain the entire area on the receiver's desktop. This gives the user the impression of direct connection and full utilization of the sender's desktop.

Multi-platform support: Senders and Receivers are supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux and HP-UX systems. See System Requirements for more details.

Network Connection Warning Notification: The RGS Receiver visually warns the user when network connectivity between a Receiver and Sender is potentially lost. If network connectivity recovers, normal operation should continue. See Network Options and Using Timeouts for more details.

OpenGL 3-D OpenGL applications are supported. Remote access users and remote collaborators can easily interact with 3-D applications running on a remote desktop. 3-D applications run using the full power of the graphics adapter. See Enabling OpenGL Applications for further information. :

Properties: The RGS Receiver and Sender provide an easy to use public interface that allows users and administrators to specify properties either on the command-line, a configuration file, or using the RGS Enterprise Service. See Properties for more details.

Remote Application Termination (RAT): Network outages or loss of connectivity between a Receiver and Sender can leave a desktop session running without supervision. To safeguard running applications, customer- designed agents can monitor the status of connections to determine if termination of applications is required. Remote Application Termination is only available with the RGS Sender for Windows. See Remote Application Termination on Windows for more details.

Remote Audio: Smooth, continuous, low-latency, high-quality remote audio is possible from RGS Senders to RGS Receivers. See System Requirements for more details on the supported systems.

Remote & Local Cursor Tracking: In a collaboration session (multiple users connected to the same remote desktop) the shape of the local hardware cursor is modified for the floor owner (the user that is currently in control of the mouse and keyboard). For the other remote users, the local cursor is left unchanged and a remote cursor is displayed in the Remote Display Window.
