Virtual Media Profile
Version 1.0.0a 9
Virtual Media Profile
1 Scope
The Virtual Media Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles, and provides the
capability to manage virtual media sessions and devices that utilize the USB redirection provided by the
system.
For KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) devices, this profile should be used if the devices are to be
managed as USB devices. Otherwise, the KVM Redirection Profile should be used.
