Setting Options
Adobe Flash quality Determines the quality of Adobe Flash content that is
displayed on Web pages.
n
Do not control. Quality is determined by Web page
settings.
n
Low.
This setting results in the most bandwidth savings.
If no quality level is specified, the system defaults to
Low.
n
Medium. This setting results in moderate bandwidth
savings.
n
High. This setting results in the least bandwidth savings.
For more information, see “Adobe Flash Quality and
Throttling,” on page 271.
Adobe Flash throttling Determines the frame rate of Adobe Flash movies. If you
enable
this setting, you can reduce or increase the number of
frames displayed per second by selecting an aggressiveness
level.
n
Disabled. No throttling is performed. The timer interval
is not modified.
n
Conservative. Timer interval is 100 milliseconds. This
setting results in the lowest number of dropped frames.
n
Moderate. Timer interval is 500 milliseconds.
n
Aggressive. Timer interval is 2500 milliseconds. This
setting results in the highest number of dropped frames.
For more information, see “Adobe Flash Quality and
Throttling,” on page 271.
NOTE Properties set for local desktops do not take effect until the desktops are checked back in.
Configuring 3D Rendering on Windows 7 or Later Desktops
When
you create or edit a Windows 7 or later desktop pool, you can configure 3D graphics rendering for your
desktops. Desktops can take advantage of Virtual Shared Graphics Acceleration (vSGA), a vSphere feature
that uses physical graphics cards installed on the ESXi hosts and manages the graphics processing unit (GPU)
resources amongst the desktops.
When you select the 3D Renderer hardware-based options, users can take advantage of 3D applications for
design, modeling, and multimedia, which typically require GPU hardware to perform well. The 3D
Renderer setting also offers a software option, which provides graphics enhancements that can support less
demanding applications such as Windows AERO, Microsoft Office 2010, and Google Earth.
Requirements for 3D Rendering
To enable hardware or software 3D graphics rendering, your pool deployment must meet the following
requirements:
n
The desktops must be Windows 7 or later
n
The pool must use the PCoIP as the default display protocol
n
Users must not be allowed to choose their own protocol
To support hardware-based 3D rendering, a pool must meet these additional requirements:
n
The desktops must run on ESXi 5.1 or later hosts and be managed by vCenter Server 5.1 or later software
