User`s guide

If you have View Client 2.1 or later, you can use the Presentation mode setting in the General settings list
to display the keyboard and an expanded onscreen touchpad on the device while displaying the remote
desktop on the projector or attached monitor. The expanded touchpad and keyboard appear when you plug
the device into the external monitor. The device detects the maximum resolution provided by the external
display. Currently, the presentation mode feature is supported only if you have Android 4.2 on the
following devices: Google Nexus 4, Google Nexus 10, and Samsung Galaxy S 4.
If you have View Client 2.2 or later, you can mirror the entire device display on a projector or attached
monitor, including the Unity Touch sidebar, by turning off the Presentation Mode setting. If you are
connected to a remote desktop and the Presentation Mode setting is turned on, you can click Done to
switch to mirror mode.
Use the Stay awake setting to keep the display from turning off after a period of inactivity while in
presentation mode. This feature is available if you have View Client 2.1.
PCoIP Client-Side Image Cache
PCoIP client-side image caching stores image content on the client to avoid retransmission. This feature
reduces bandwidth usage.
IMPORTANT This feature is available only when the version of View Agent and View Connection Server is
View 5.0 or later.
The PCoIP image cache captures spatial, as well as temporal, redundancy. For example, when you scroll
down through a PDF document, new content appears from the bottom of the window and the oldest content
disappears from the top of the window. All the other content remains constant and moves upward. The
PCoIP image cache is capable of detecting this spatial and temporal redundancy.
Because during scrolling, the display information sent to the client device is primarily a sequence of cache
indices, using the image cache saves a significant amount of bandwidth. This efficient scrolling has benefits
both on the LAN and over the WAN.
n
On the LAN, where bandwidth is relatively unconstrained, using client-side image caching delivers
significant bandwidth savings.
n
Over the WAN, to stay within the available bandwidth constraints, scrolling performance would be
degraded without client-side caching. Over the WAN, client-side caching saves bandwidth and ensure
a smooth, highly responsive scrolling experience.
With client-side caching, the client stores portions of the display that were previously transmitted. The cache
size is 250MB.
With Horizon View Client 2.0 and later versions, if you use Horizon View 5.2 servers and desktops, a 90MB
client-side cache gives the equivalent performance of using a 250MB cache with earlier versions.
Internationalization and International Keyboards
Both the Horizon View Client user interface and the documentation are available in English, Japanese,
French, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. You can also input characters for
these languages and other languages.
To choose a language for the keyboard or voice, tap the Keyboard Settings key on the onscreen keyboard.
The Keyboard Settings key is the left-most key on the bottom row of the onscreen keyboard.
