Hello
Looking for answers to the age old question, “How can we do Multimedia (Streaming audio and video)” thru Thin Client/Terminal Server environment. We currently have Windows Terminal Servers and Wyse/Dell 3040 thins running WTOS 8.x. Is there a scenario in which we can get acceptable streaming? Assuming would have to move to a more robust thin client? Or do we move to WMS with WTOS 9.x??
Anybody have success or have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance for your help.
According to my tests w/ 3040, ThinOS 9 will not change anything (or event make things worst. The good old ThinOS 8 RDP stack seems to be very well optimized).
Except for Zoom because Zoom now provides a ThinOS companion package for AVD client (RDP) to offload video & audio to the Wyse. Which is working very well, at least on 5070s.
When there is no offloading (barebone AVD / RDP), then your main concern is the CPU load on the server and maybe the network bandwidth if you’re not on 100Mb/full minimum.
So, First, provide plenty of CPUs to your terminal servers. I’d say, one CPU per “full desktop” user.
Second, if bandwidth is not a concern (100Mb/full on clients and 1Gb/s or more on the server) then adjust the multimedia environnement to lower CPU on the server side.
It’s not exactly clear if all settings are relevant but please find my setup
– Audio playback quality : High quality (This is counter-intuitive but it seems that High quality requires less CPU as there is less compression. I noticed audio lag when using Low quality)
You may disable all “fair share” options of Windows server, which seems to throttle even when not necessary.
Hope this helps
– 16 bits color depth
– Disable H264 / AVC 444
– Compression : optimized to use less memory
Excuse multiple post, I finallyfound the WordFence blocks ” RemoteEFFIX” word
