L300/L230/L130 User Manual

device will automatically check for newer versions of firmware on the network; simply follow the on-screen prompts to complete the firmware update process.

L300 Multimedia Acceleration

The L300 will display full screen streaming video across multiple user sessions and is optimized to do so using NComputing’s vSpace transcoding process. This process works transparently to stream video and support multimedia content in a terminal device well beyond what has been seen in thin client or multiuser computing before. Full screen streaming video with matched sound synchronism in the norm for vSpace and the L300.

vSpace Multimedia Transcoding and Numo

vSpace transcoding is designed to replicate the multimedia experience that the user would see on the host. vSpace uses has two optimized video pipeline implementations to achieve the performance:

1.Direct JPEG

∙Streaming content that is capable on host is captured by our device driver, compressed and passed over the wire to the Numo chip for decoding and scaling.

∙Direct JPEG has the capability to stream video content that the host is capable of streaming. This makes Direct JPEG a seamless method of delivering vSpace transcoding on the L300 without having configured the many video setting.

2.Directshow API

∙This method is similar to above but uses Microsoft’s API that allows for another level of optimizations

Either method provides a great media streaming experience on the L300.
