- Frequently asked questions
a. Select the Enable H264 check box. This option allows H.264 decoding in Horizon Client. Enabling this option, improves
the performance of high-end applications. To validate the H.264 decoding, navigate to the /tmp/vmware-user/
directory, open the vmware-mks-pid.log file, and check if the H264 support is enabled entry is registered in the
log file.
NOTE:
● Blast H.264 feature is not supported on Wyse 5010 thin clients, Wyse 5040 thin clients, and Wyse 7010 thin
clients. Blast H.264 is automatically disabled on Wyse 5060 thin client for 1920 x 1200 resolution due to hardware
limitation.
● A performance tracker is introduced by VMware for performance evaluation and data collection.
b. From the Network Condition drop-down list, select whether to use a condition for your Blast connection.
NOTE: Blast Extreme protocol is part of BEAT (Blast Extreme Advanced Transport).
● Select Excellent to allow the Blast connection to use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
● Select Typical to allow the Blast connection to use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). By default, this value is
selected.
● Select Poor to allow the Blast connection to use User Datagram Protocol (UDP). UDP uses the available bandwidth
to deliver the end-user experience.
To enable UDP, you need to make a few changes to the VMware View Connection Server, the Agent host desktop,
and the VMware Horizon Client. For information about the necessary configuration on server and agent desktop, see
VMware Certificate Guide at code.vmware.com/group/euc/thin-client/certs/4.6.
