Support for multi-monitors in VMware Blast session ThinOS supports multiple-monitor display to run virtual machines on each monitor. Update the VMware Blast package to the latest version. The Horizon package version is 4.6.47369. User scenario: 1 Connect multiple monitors to ThinOS device. 2 In the Display Setup dialog box, disable Mirror Mode, and configure the display layout. 3 Launch a full screen VMware Horizon Blast session. • Display numbers-Virtual machine needs sufficient video memory to support multiple monitors. You can use up to four monitors with sufficient RAM. Table 26.

Blast H.264 decoding in VMware Horizon Summary Blast session Blast H.264 decoding is always enabled. Horizon client uses Blast H.264 decoding even if the H.264 decoder setting is disabled using GUI or INI options. Blast H.264 decoding is disabled by default. You can enable Blast H.264 decoding either on the ThinOS GUI or by deploying the INI parameter. By default, Horizon client does not use Blast H.264 decoding. If the Blast H.264 decoder setting is enabled on ThinOS, then the Horizon client uses H.264 decoding. Enabling H.264 may downgrade the session performance. ThinOS 8.5_107 35

Blast H.264
—The following table describes the performance of H.264 decoder in VMware Horizon sessions that use the VMware
Blast display protocol:

Blast H.264 decoding in VMware Horizon
Blast session
Summary
Session display width is less than or equal
to 1920 pixels.
Blast H.264 decoding is always enabled.
Horizon client uses Blast H.264 decoding
even if the H.264 decoder setting is
disabled using GUI or INI options.
Session display width is greater than 1920
pixels.
Blast H.264 decoding is disabled by
default. You can enable Blast H.264
decoding either on the ThinOS GUI or by
deploying the INI parameter.
By default, Horizon client does not use
Blast H.264 decoding. If the Blast H.264
decoder setting is enabled on ThinOS, then
the Horizon client uses H.264 decoding.
Enabling H.264 may downgrade the
session performance.
