Requirements for Using Multimedia Redirection (MMR)
With multimedia redirection (MMR), the multimedia stream is processed, that is, decoded, on the client
system. The client system plays the media content, thereby offloading the demand on the ESXi host.
Because MMR is implemented differently on different operating systems, the system requirements for some
Windows operating systems are different from the requirements for other earlier Windows operating
systems.
Similarly, the MMR components installed with some View Agent versions are different from the
components installed with earlier View Agent versions. Separate sections in this topic discuss the
requirements for the various View Agent and client operating system combinations.
NOTE For a comparison of the Windows Media MMR, Win7 MMR, and Wyse MMR components and a
matrix describing the support for various combinations of client versions, agent versions, and operating
systems, see “Multimedia Redirection Support on Desktop Operating Systems,” in Setting Up Desktop and
Application Pools in View.
