N-series Citrix® Ready HDX™ Verified System-on-Chip (SoC) Thin Clients | Solutions Brief
Figure 1. N-series Thin Client Device: An Integrated Solution from NComputing and Citrix with
fewer components and the ability to be efficiently deployed and easily supported
Simple Portfolio
Meets Multiple Needs
NComputing’s simple portfolio enables powerful, cost-effective yet expansive
choices to suit any need.
• The N500 provides the full multimedia capabilities demanded by knowledge workers
and other demanding environments. Options for dual monitor functionality as well as
wireless support are available with this model
• The N400 is the thin client of choice for task workers and those workers with light
multimedia needs
Numo 3 System on Chip (SoC)
Powerful Performance Wins
Because of the offloading and intelligent use of the Numo 3 SoC technology,
N-Series device performance is dramatically improved. All the HDX features are
seamlessly delivered on the firmware, leaving processor headroom for more multi-
tasking, as well as partner-delivered use case capabilities.
Video and Flash Video
Multimedia Experience Equal to/Better than a PC
The N-series device makes computing access simple: with a click of the mouse,
the user has his or her unique personalized desktop on demand with high defini-
tion, multimedia performance equal to or better than the performance of a PC or
other traditional thin client device. N500 devices incorporate client-side rendering
capabilities for efficient playback of video content and uses server-side rendering
for flash video playback. They display content up to full HD at 1080p. N400 de-
vices support a full HDX user experience with up to HD720p and utilize server-side
rendering for video and flash video playback.
