High Quality Mode is disabled by default.
Using External Displays
You can use the Enable External display seing to congure seings for external displays, such as
projectors and aached monitors.
When the Enable External display seing is selected, you can select the Presentation mode, Multi-Monitor
mode, Keep screen on when external display is connected, and Zoom seings. When the Enable External
display seing is not selected, all of the external display seings are disabled.
In Presentation mode, a keyboard and expanded onscreen touchpad appear on the device when you
display a remote desktop on an external display. The expanded touchpad and keyboard appear when you
plug the device into the external display. The device detects the maximum resolution provided by the
external display. The presentation mode feature is supported only if you have an Android 4.2 or later device.
You can use the Multi-Monitor mode seing to extend a secondary desktop on an external display. The
Unity Touch sidebar is supported only on the device monitor. You cannot change the orientation and full-
screen mode. You can interact with remote desktops and applications on the external display with the
onscreen touchpad and full-screen touchpad. You cannot use the physical mouse on the external display.
The multi-monitor mode feature is supported only if you have an Android 4.2 or later device.
You can use the Keep screen on when external display is connected seing to keep the display from
turning o after a period of inactivity. You can drag the Zoom slider to set the resolution for the external
display.
If you are connected to a remote desktop or application, pressing the Android Back buon quits
presentation mode or multi-monitor mode and the Enable External display seing is deselected.
To congure external display seings 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 then tap External Display
Options. If you are not using full-screen mode,  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 window.
Do not use an external mouse, such as a Bluetooth mouse, when using the Presentation mode seing.
Instead, use the large onscreen touchpad on the Android device. If you aempt to use a mouse, the mouse
pointer might not be able to move to the boom or right side of the screen, and when moved to the top of
the screen, might conict 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 boom 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.
Because during scrolling, the display information sent to the client device is primarily a sequence of cache
indices, using the image cache saves a signicant amount of bandwidth. This ecient scrolling has benets
both on the LAN and over the WAN.
n
On the LAN, where bandwidth is relatively unconstrained, using client-side image caching delivers
signicant bandwidth savings.
