Screen Resolutions and Using External Displays
When you connect the device to an external display or projector, Horizon Client supports certain maximum
display resolutions. Also, you can change the screen resolution used on your device to allow scrolling a
larger screen resolution.
Enlarging the Screen Resolution for a Remote Desktop
By default, the display resolution is set so that the entire Windows desktop fits inside your device, and the
desktop icons and task bar icons are a certain size. But you can change the default to a higher resolution. If
you do so, the desktop still fits inside the device, but the desktop and taskbar icons become smaller. You can
pinch your fingers apart to zoom in and make the desktop larger than the device screen. You can then tap
and drag to access the edges of the desktop.
Changing the Display Resolution Setting
You can use the Resolution setting in the Settings dialog box to set the display resolution to a larger value. If
you are not using full screen mode, use the Horizon Client toolbar to display the Settings dialog box. If you
are using full screen mode, tap the Horizon Client Tools icon and tap the settings icon. Drag the slider in the
Touchpad Sensitivity option. For a picture of the settings icon in the Horizon Client Tools radial menu, see
“Horizon Client Tools,” on page 37.
Screen Resolutions for Using Projectors
Use the Resolution setting to set a larger resolution for projectors.
You can use the Presentation mode setting in the General settings list to display the keyboard and an
expanded onscreen touchpad on the device while displaying the remote desktop on the projector or
attached monitor. The expanded touchpad and keyboard appear when you plug the device into the external
monitor. The device detects the maximum resolution provided by the external display. Currently, the
presentation mode feature is supported only if you have Android 4.2 on the following devices: Google
Nexus 4, Google Nexus 10, and Samsung Galaxy S 4.
You can mirror the entire device display on a projector or attached monitor, including the Unity Touch
sidebar, by turning off the Presentation Mode setting. If you are connected to a remote desktop and the
Presentation Mode setting is turned on, you can click Done to switch to mirror mode.
Use the Stay awake setting to keep the display from turning off after a period of inactivity while in
presentation mode.
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 Android 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.
PCoIP Client-Side Image Cache
PCoIP client-side image caching stores image content on the client to avoid retransmission. This feature
reduces bandwidth usage.
IMPORTANT This feature is available only when the version of View Agent and View Connection Server is
View 5.0 or later.
