Advanced NOTE: See Advanced connection settings on page 7 for information about the settings available under the Advanced category when editing a connection. RemoteFX RemoteFX 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 RemoteFX codec and send screen updates to the RDP client. RemoteFX 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. RemoteFX is enabled by default. The administrator or user does not have to change any settings to enable it. The RDP client negotiates with any RDP server it contacts, and if RemoteFX is available, it will be used. NOTE: For more information, see the HP ThinPro white paper Enabling RemoteFX for RDP (available in English only). RDP multi-monitor sessions True multi-monitor support does not require special configuration. The RDP client automatically identifies which monitor is specified as the primary monitor in the local settings and places the taskbar and desktop icons on that monitor. When a window is maximized within the remote session, the window will only cover the monitor it was maximized on. Display preferences and monitor resolutions can be viewed but not modified within the remote session. To modify the session resolution, log out of the session and change the resolution on the local thin client. By default, all RDP sessions will be full-screen and cover all monitors to enhance the virtualization experience. Additional window options are available in the RDP Connection Manager. NOTE: Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RDVH) sessions with graphics card support might only support certain resolutions and counts of monitors. The limits are specified when the RemoteFX virtual graphics device is configured for the RDVH virtual machine. 20 Chapter 4 Connection types
