Option Action
Allow H.264 decoding
Congure this option, before or after connecting to Connection Server, 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 or hardware encoding.
If the agent does not support H.264 software or hardware encoding,
Horizon Client uses JPG/PNG decoding.
Deselect this option to use JPG/PNG decoding.
Select your network condition for
the best experience
You can only congure this option before connecting to Connection Server.
Select one of the following network condition options:
n
Excellent - Horizon Client uses only TCP networking. This option is
ideal for a LAN environment.
n
Typical (default) - Horizon Client works in mixed mode. In mixed
mode, Horizon Client uses TCP networking when connecting to the
server and uses Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport (BEAT) if the agent
and Blast Security Gateway (if enabled) support BEAT connectivity.
This option is the default seing.
n
Poor - Horizon Client uses only BEAT networking if the BEAT Tunnel
Server is enabled on the server, otherwise it switches to mixed mode.
N In Horizon 7 version 7.1 and earlier, Connection Server and
Security Server instances do not support the BEAT Tunnel Server.
Unied Access Gateway 2.9 and later supports the BEAT Tunnel Server.
Blast Security Gateway for Connection Server and Security Server
instances do not support BEAT networking.
