Enlarging the Screen Resolution for a Remote Desktop
By default, the display resolution is set so that the entire Windows desktop fits inside your device, and the
desktop icons and task bar icons are a certain size. If you change the default to a higher resolution, the
desktop still fits inside the device, but the desktop and taskbar icons become smaller.
You can pinch your fingers apart to zoom in and make the desktop larger than the device screen. You can
then tap and drag to access the edges of the desktop.
Changing the Display Resolution Setting
You can use the Resolution setting to set the display resolution to a larger value. If you are using a remote
desktop or application in full-screen mode, tap the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon, tap the gear icon,
tap Display, and tap Resolution. If you are not using full-screen mode, Settings is in the menu in the upper-
right corner of the Horizon Client toolbar. If you are not connected to a remote desktop or application, tap
the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Horizon Client screen.
Screen Resolutions for Using Projectors
You can use the Resolution setting to set a larger resolution for projectors.
You can use the Presentation mode setting to display the keyboard and an expanded onscreen touchpad on
the device while displaying the remote desktop on the projector or attached monitor. The expanded
touchpad and keyboard appear when you plug the device into the external monitor. The device detects the
maximum resolution provided by the external display. The presentation mode feature is supported only if
you have Android 4.2 or later.
You can mirror the entire device display on a projector or attached monitor, including the Unity Touch
sidebar, by turning off the Presentation mode setting. If you are connected to a remote desktop and the
Presentation Mode setting is enabled, you can click Done to switch to mirror mode.
You can use the Stay awake setting to keep the display from turning off after a period of inactivity while in
presentation mode.
To configure the Presentation mode and Stay awake settings if you are using a remote desktop or
application in full-screen mode, tap the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon, tap the gear icon, and tap
Display. If you are not using full-screen mode, Settings is in the menu in the upper-right corner of the
Horizon Client toolbar. If you are not connected to a remote desktop or application, tap the gear icon in the
upper right corner of the Horizon Client screen.
Do not use an external mouse, such as a Bluetooth mouse, when using the Presentation mode setting.
Instead, use the large onscreen touchpad on the Android device. If you attempt to use a mouse, the mouse
pointer might not be able to move to the bottom or right side of the screen, and when moved to the top of
the screen, might conflict with some of the function keys shown on the large onscreen touchpad, rather than
the top of the remote desktop.
PCoIP Client-Side Image Cache
PCoIP client-side image caching stores image content on the client to avoid retransmission. This feature
reduces bandwidth usage.
The PCoIP image cache captures spatial, as well as temporal, redundancy. For example, when you scroll
down through a PDF document, new content appears from the bottom of the window and the oldest content
disappears from the top of the window. All the other content remains constant and moves upward. The
PCoIP image cache is capable of detecting this spatial and temporal redundancy.
