HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.8 User Guide

If USB devices are Remote is selected, a USB microphone can be accessed anytime by the Remote
Computer. If USB devices are Local/Remote is selected, how the USB microphone can be
accessed by the Remote Computer depends on when the microphone is connected to the Local
Computer relative to establishment of the RGS connection. If the microphone is connected to the Local
Computer prior to establishment of the RGS connection, the microphone will be a local device only,
and will be accessible by the Remote Computer only via the Receiver RGS Audio Recorder. If the
microphone is connected to the Local Computer after RGS connection establishment, the microphone
will be a remote device only, and can be accessed directly by the Remote Computer. The figure in
Remote audio on Windows on page 38 shows these two cases.
HP recommends using the audio access method introduced at RGS 5.2.0, whereby the Remote
Computer can directly access the USB microphone, for the following reasons:
●
The pre-RGS 5.2.0 audio access method continuously records and transmits audio independent of
whether the application on the Remote Computer is requesting audio input. This can consume
network bandwidth, especially when the level of background noise at the microphone is above the
audio threshold used to detect valid audio.
●
The RGS 5.2.0 audio access method allows audio parameters to be set by audio controls on the
Remote Computer alone. The pre-RGS 5.2.0 audio access method requires setting audio
parameters on both the Remote Computer and Local Computer.
