HP Remote Graphics Software 6.0 User Guide
2 Overview of HP Remote Graphics
Software
Remote workstations are breaking free of network limitations with HP Remote Graphics Software
(RGS). HP 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. A local keyboard
and mouse are supported, as well as redirection of most USB devices to provide an interactive, high-
performance workstation experience.
NOTE: Devices that adhere to the USB standard should work; however, devices that are sensitive
to timing may not work or performance may be impacted. HP recommends thoroughly testing any
USB device needed for RGS deployments. Remote USB to Linux senders is not supported. USB 3 is
not supported.
