Setting Description
Configure PCoIP image quality levels
Controls how PCoIP renders images during periods of network
congestion. The Minimum Image Quality, Maximum Initial Image
Quality, and Maximum Frame Rate values interoperate to provide ne
control in network-bandwidth constrained environments.
Use the Minimum Image Quality value to balance image quality and
frame rate for limited-bandwidth scenarios. You can specify a value
between 30 and 100. The default value is 40. A lower value allows higher
frame-rates, but with a potentially lower quality display. A higher value
provides higher image quality, but with potentially lower frame rates
when network bandwidth is constrained. When network bandwidth is
not constrained, PCoIP maintains maximum quality regardless of this
value.
Use the Maximum Initial Image Quality value to reduce the network
bandwidth peaks required by PCoIP by limiting the initial quality of the
changed regions of the display image. You can specify a value between
30 and 100. The default value is 80. A lower value reduces the image
quality of content changes and decreases peak bandwidth requirements.
A higher value increases the image quality of content changes and
increases peak bandwidth requirements. Unchanged regions of the
image progressively build to a lossless (perfect) quality regardless of this
value. A value of 80 or lower best utilizes the available bandwidth.
The Minimum Image Quality value cannot exceed the Maximum
Initial Image Quality value.
Use the Maximum Frame Rate value to manage the average bandwidth
consumed per user by limiting the number of screen updates per
second. You can specify a value between 1 and 120 frames per second.
The default value is 30. A higher value can use more bandwidth but
provides less jier, which allows smoother transitions in changing
images such as video. A lower value uses less bandwidth but results in
more jier.
These image quality values apply to the soft host only and have no eect
on a soft client.
When this seing is disabled or not congured, the default values are
used.
When this seing is modied during an active PCoIP session, the new
seing takes eect immediately.
Configure frame rate vs image quality
preference
Congure the frame rate and image quality preference from 0 (highest
frame rate) to 100 (highest image quality). If this policy is disabled or not
congured, the default seing is 50.
Higher value (max: 100) means you prefer high image quality even if
frame rate is choppy. Lower value (min: 0) means you prefer a uent
experience with aggressive image quality.
This seing could work with the Configure PCoIP image quality
levels GPO, which determines the max initial image quality level and
min image quality level. While the Frame rate and image quality
preference can adjust the image quality level for each frame, it cannot
exceed the max/min quality level threshold congured by Configure
PCoIP image quality levels GPO.
When this policy is changed during run time, it could take eect
immediately.
