Installation and Setup Guide

n
You cannot use the physical mouse on the external display.
You can use the Keep screen on when external display is connected setting to keep the display from
turning off 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 Back button quits presentation
mode or multi-monitor mode and the Enable External display setting is deselected.
To configure external display 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, tap Display, and then tap External
Display Options. 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 window.
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 client 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.
Using Multi-Monitor Mode with Horizon Client for Android on a
Chromebook
When Horizon Client for Android is installed on a Chromebook device, there is no option for the multi-
monitor feature in Settings. Instead, when you maximize a session window in the internal display, a new
window opens and is maximized in the external display and the session enters multi-monitor mode. When
you restore the window in the internal display from the maximized state, the window in the external
display is closed and the session quits multi-monitor mode.
The multi-monitor mode feature has the following requirements and limitations when used with a
Chromebook device.
n
Chrome OS M64 or later is required.
n
Only one external display is supported.
n
Unified desktop mode must not be enabled on the Chromebook.
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.
