User manual

2 Congure the decoding and network protocol options.
Option Description
H.264
Select this option to allow H.264 decoding in Horizon Client. When this
option is selected (the default seing), Horizon Client uses H.264 decoding
if the agent supports H.264 software encoding. If the agent does not
support H.264 software encoding, Horizon Client uses JPG/PNG decoding.
Deselect this option to always use JPG/PNG decoding.
UDP
Select this option to allow UDP networking in Horizon Client. When this
option is selected (the default seing), Horizon Client uses UDP
networking if UDP connectivity is available. If UDP networking is blocked,
Horizon Client uses TCP networking.
Deselect this option to always use TCP networking.
N UDP is disabled by default on a Horizon remote desktop. For UDP
to work, it must be enabled on the desktop, the client, and the Blast Secure
Gateway (BSG).
Your changes take eect the next time a user connects to a remote desktop or application and selects the
VMware Blast display protocol. Your changes do not aect existing VMware Blast sessions.
Horizon Client Data Collected by VMware
If your company participates in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects data from
certain Horizon Client elds. Fields containing sensitive information are made anonymous.
VMware collects data on the clients to prioritize hardware and software compatibility. If your company's
administrator has opted to participate in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects
anonymous data about your deployment in order to improve VMware's response to customer requirements.
No data that identies your organization is collected. Horizon Client information is sent rst to Connection
Server and then on to VMware, along with data from Connection Server instances, desktop pools, and
remote desktops.
Although the information is encrypted while in transit to Connection Server, the information on the client
system is logged unencrypted in a user-specic directory. The logs do not contain any personally identiable
information.
The administrator who installs Connection Server can select whether to participate in the VMware customer
experience improvement program while running the Connection Server installation wizard, or an
administrator can set an option in View Administrator after the installation.
