System Requirements for Real-Time Audio-Video
Real-Time Audio-Video works with standard audio devices and with standard conferencing applications
such as Skype, WebEx, and Google Hangouts. To support Real-Time Audio-Video, your View deployment
must meet certain software and hardware requirements.
IMPORTANT Only the audio-in feature is supported. The video feature is not supported.
View remote desktop
The desktops must have View Agent 5.3 or later installed. For View Agent
5.3 desktops, the desktops must also have the corresponding Remote
Experience Agent installed. For example, if View Agent 5.3 is installed, you
must also install the Remote Experience Agent from View 5.3 Feature Pack 1.
See the View Feature Pack Installation and Administration document for View. If
you have View Agent 6.0 or later, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, no feature
pack is required.
Real-Time Audio-Video is not supported in RDS desktop sessions or remote
applications.
Client access device
Real-Time Audio Video is supported on all Android devices that run
Horizon Client for Android. For more information, see “System
Requirements,” on page 8.
Smart Card Authentication Requirements
Client systems that use a smart card for user authentication must meet certain requirements.
VMware recommends that you use an Android 4.0 or later operating system. The CPU architecture may be
ARM or x86. VMware tested the baiMobile 3000MP Bluetooth Smart Card reader, baiMobile 301MP USB
Smart Card reader, and baiMobile 301MP_LT Smart Card reader.
Each client system that uses a smart card for user authentication must have the following software and
hardware:
n
Horizon Client
n
A compatible smart card reader
n
Smart card middleware
The Android device app must support your baiMobile smart card reader. For example, one such app is
baiMobile PCSC-Lite (Android device tile name baiMobile PC/SC). Version 6.1 contains support for
both the baiMobile 3000MP Bluetooth and baiMobile 301MP USB smart card readers. Without such an
app, you can pair the Bluetooth card reader with the Android device, but you cannot connect it. The
app sends a connection request to the reader and you tap the OK button on the reader to establish the
Bluetooth connection.
