HP Remote Graphics Software 7.0

The primary user can disable collaborator input using the RGS Sender GUI. Authorized local users
will still be able to view the primary user’s desktop but will be unable to interact with it.
To disable collaborator input:
▲
Right-click the RGS Sender icon in the notification area and select Collaborator Input > Disable.
All collaboration users can be disconnected simultaneously using the RGS Sender GUI.
To disconnect all collaboration users:
▲
Right-click the RGS Sender icon in the notification area and select Disconnect > Collaborators.
Note the following additional information about collaboration:
●
On Windows, if the primary user disconnects, the desktop is locked, but all collaborators will
remain connected.
●
On Linux, if the primary user disconnects, the desktop is locked, and all collaborators are
disconnected.
●
The update rates of all collaborators is limited by the lowest update rate of any one collaborator.
This is required for content synchronization. Collaborators with low update rates can use the
performance settings to improve their update rate, which will improve the experience for all
collaborators. See
Performance settings on page 34 for more information.
Collaboration notification dialog
The RGS Sender on Windows displays a collaboration notification dialog that displays a list of
usernames for each user connected to the remote computer.
Primary and collaboration users are identified using different fonts in the notification dialog. The
primary user is italicized and listed first. Collaborator usernames follow and are displayed using a
non-italicized font.
Individual users can be disconnected by clicking the X icon next to their username.
Optimizing RGS performance
Advanced performance features
The following features can be used to optimize RGS performance:
●
Advanced Video Compression—This option enables the use of a modern video codec to greatly
reduce the network bandwidth needed for high-quality video streams. It is ideal for video or 3D
applications in textured mode. It is not recommended for use with wireframes or fine lines, as
screen artifacts might appear when in motion. This option can be enabled via the Performance
tab of the RGS Receiver Control Panel settings.
IMPORTANT: CPU consumption might be higher on both the remote and local computers
when using Advanced Video Compression. This feature is not recommended for customers who
do not require reduced network bandwidth consumption. If using Advanced Video Compression,
be sure the remote and local computers meet the requirements described in
Advanced Video
Compression requirements on page 92.
NOTE: Advanced Video Compression is not supported on multi-monitor configurations.
●
HP Velocity—Improves RGS performance over poor network connections. HP Velocity must be
enabled during installation of both the RGS Receiver and RGS Sender.
