HP Remote Graphics Software 7.0

Typical RGS deployment
RGS is the collaboration and remote desktop solution for serious workstation users and their most
demanding applications. All applications run natively on the remote workstation and take full
advantage of its graphics resources. The desktop of the remote workstation is transmitted over a
standard network to a window on a local computer using advanced image compression technology
specifically designed for digital imagery, text, and high frame rate video applications. Local keyboard,
mouse, and touch inputs are supported, as well as redirection of most USB devices to provide an
interactive, high-performance workstation experience.
The following image shows a typical RGS deployment.
1 Remote computer—A high-performance workstation, virtual workstation, blade, or server hosts the user's
applications and the RGS Sender, which transmits graphics, audio, and USB data to the RGS Receiver
on the local computer. The remote computer receives and processes keyboard events, mouse events,
and USB data from the local computer.
NOTE: The RGS Sender operates independently of whether or not a monitor is actually connected to
the remote computer.
2 Local computer—A desktop, notebook, tablet, or thin client hosts the RGS Receiver, which establishes a
connection to the remote computer and displays the desktop of the remote computer inside a window or
full screen on the local computer. The local computer transmits keyboard and mouse events to the
remote computer, allowing the user to interact with their applications remotely.
3 TCP/IP network—Serves as the communication link between the remote computer and local computer.
