Table 8-35. View PCoIP Session Bandwidth Variables
(Continued)
Setting Description
Configure the PCoIP session audio
bandwidth limit
Specifies the maximum bandwidth that can be used for audio (sound
playback) in a PCoIP session.
The audio processing monitors the bandwidth used for audio. The
processing
selects the audio compression algorithm that provides the best
audio possible, given the current bandwidth utilization. If a bandwidth
limit is set, the processing reduces quality by changing the compression
algorithm selection until the bandwidth limit is reached. If minimum
quality audio cannot be provided within the bandwidth limit specified,
audio is disabled.
To allow for uncompressed high quality stereo audio, set this value to
higher than 1600 kbit/s. A value of 450 kbit/s and higher allows for stereo,
high-quality, compressed audio. A value between 50 kbit/s and 450 kbit/s
results in audio that ranges between FM radio and phone call quality. A
value below 50 kbit/s might result in no audio playback.
This setting applies to View Agent only. You must enable audio on both
endpoints before this setting has any effect.
In addition, this setting has no effect on USB audio.
If this setting is disabled or not configured, a default audio bandwidth
limit of 500 kilobits per second is configured to constrain the audio
compression algorithm selected. If the setting is configured, the value is
measured in kilobits per second, with a default audio bandwidth limit of
500 kilobits per second.
This setting applies to View 4.6 and later. It has no effect on earlier versions
of View.
Turn off Build-to-Lossless feature
Specifies whether to disable the build-to-lossless feature of the PCoIP
protocol, which is on by default.
If you enable this setting, the build-to-lossless feature is disabled. Images
and other desktop content are never built to a lossless state. In network
environments with constrained bandwidth, disabling the build-to-lossless
feature can provide bandwidth savings. Disabling this feature is not
recommended in environments that require images and desktop content
to be built to a lossless state.
To enable this setting, you must click Enabled and check the following
check box: I accept to turn off the Build-to-Lossless feature.
This agreement indicates that you understand that images and desktop
content are never built to a lossless state.
For more information about the PCoIP build-to-lossless feature, see “View
PCoIP Build-to-Lossless Feature,” on page 217.
