HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.8 User Guide

Additional RGS features
RGS provides many additional features, including:
3D application support—Users can interact with OpenGL 3D applications running on the
Remote Computer. Direct3D applications can be used as well, provided they are not in full-screen
mode. 3D applications use the full power of graphics acceleration hardware on the Remote
Computer.
Remote USB—Many USB devices connected to the Local Computer can be attached to and
accessed by the Remote Computer. Some USB devices, such as web cams, are not supported.
Remote Audio—Smooth, continuous, low-latency, high-quality remote audio is transmitted from
the RGS Sender to the RGS Receiver.
Audio follows focus—In Directory Mode, the RGS Receiver can be configured to enable audio
for the session displayed in the Remote Display Window that currently has focus, and is muted for
all other remote sessions/windows.
Directory Mode—Directory Mode enables the user to connect to multiple remote computers at
the same time. The remote computers are specified in a configuration file on the local computer.
Easy Login—Enables fewer authentication steps when connecting to an HP personal workstation
running supported Windows operating systems or Linux distributions.
Single Sign-on—Enables fewer authentication steps and automatic login and unlocking of the
desktop when connecting to an HP workstation running supported Windows operating systems.
Interactive Experience Controls—Added at RGS 5.4.5, these controls allow the user to
adjust for a better interactive experience when operating across low bandwidth and/or high
latency networks.
Windows Event Logging—Network outages or loss of connectivity between a Receiver and
Sender can leave a desktop session running without supervision. To safeguard running
applications, customer-designed agents can monitor the status of connections to determine if
termination of applications is required. Windows event logging provides a mechanism for agents
to determine the status of the connection between the Receiver and Sender.
NOTE: See the RGS 5.4.8 data sheet for latest list of features.
