Using RemoteFX with RDP RemoteFX (RFX) is an advanced graphics display protocol that is designed to replace the graphics component of the traditional RDP protocol. It uses the hardware acceleration capabilities of the server GPU to encode the screen contents via the RFX codec and send screen updates to the client. RFX uses advanced pipelining technologies and adaptive graphics to make sure that it delivers the best possible experience based on content type, CPU and network bandwidth availability, and rendering speed. RFX is enabled by default. The administrator or user does not have to change any settings to enable it. The client negotiates with any RDP server it contacts, and if RFX is available, it will be used. To disable RFX, set the following registry key value to 0: ● root/ConnectionType/freerdp/connections/{UUID}/remoteFx TIP: For simplified management, HP recommends that you enable or disable RFX on the remote host. NOTE: Some Windows RDP servers will not send RemoteFX content to clients enabled for RDP 7.1 without a change to Group Policy.

Using RemoteFX with RDP
RemoteFX (RFX) is an advanced graphics display protocol that is designed to replace the graphics
component of the traditional RDP protocol. It uses the hardware acceleration capabilities of the server
GPU to encode the screen contents via the RFX codec and send screen updates to the client. RFX
uses advanced pipelining technologies and adaptive graphics to make sure that it delivers the best
possible experience based on content type, CPU and network bandwidth availability, and rendering
speed.
RFX is enabled by default. The administrator or user does not have to change any settings to enable
it. The client negotiates with any RDP server it contacts, and if RFX is available, it will be used.
To disable RFX, set the following registry key value to
0
:
root/ConnectionType/freerdp/connections/{UUID}/remoteFx
TIP:
For simplified management, HP recommends that you enable or disable RFX on the remote
host.
NOTE:
Some Windows RDP servers will not send RemoteFX content to clients enabled for RDP 7.1
without a change to Group Policy. Check the setting of the following policy:
