Multiple monitors on the Local Computer are also useful in the configuration described in Section 2-8-3, "Many-toone connection." If the Local Computer is connected to two Remote Computers, each Remote Computer frame buffer can be displayed on its own monitor if the Local Computer has two monitors (see Figure 2-15). Figure 2-15 Each Remote Display Window can be positioned to occupy a single monitor Remote Computer 1 Local Computer Remote Computer 2 As always, each Remote Computer (Sender) frame buffer is displayed in its own Remote Display Window. In Figure 2-15, the user has positioned each Remote Display Window to occupy a single monitor, achieving the result that the left monitor is dedicated to Remote Computer 1 while the right monitor is dedicated to Remote Computer 2. 2-13 Remote Computer monitor blanking overview New in RGS 5.0, this feature blanks the Remote Computer monitor (if one is connected) when the local user establishes an RGS connection to the Remote Computer and logs in-in other words, becomes the primary user. This feature is provided for security, to ensure that the primary user's desktop session on the Remote Computer is not visible on a monitor connected to the Remote Computer. For details on monitor blanking, see Section 5-1-4, "Remote Computer monitor blanking operation." 2-14 Video overlay surfaces When the Windows Sender is installed on a computer, video overlay surfaces (also known as overlay planes) are disabled on the computer. Some media players that use video overlay surfaces will not display correctly. This can often be resolved by disabling the use of video overlay surfaces in the media player. Most OpenGL applications will detect the disabling of overlay surfaces, and will work correctly. However, if your OpenGL application attempts to use the disabled overlay surfaces, it may display incorrectly. If this is the case, check to see if your OpenGL application provides a mechanism for the user to manually disable the use of overlay surfaces. RGS overview 28

New in RGS 5.0, this feature blanks the Remote Computer monitor (if one is connected) when the local user
establishes an RGS connection to the Remote Computer and logs in—in other words, becomes the primary user.
This feature is provided for security, to ensure that the primary user’s desktop session on the Remote Computer is

2-14 Video overlay surfaces
When the Windows Sender is installed on a computer, video overlay surfaces (also known as overlay planes) are
disabled on the computer. Some media players that use video overlay surfaces will not display correctly. This can
often be resolved by disabling the use of video overlay surfaces in the media player.
Most OpenGL applications will detect the disabling of overlay surfaces, and will work correctly. However, if your
OpenGL application attempts to use the disabled overlay surfaces, it may display incorrectly. If this is the case,
check to see if your OpenGL application provides a mechanism for the user to manually disable the use of overlay
surfaces.
