Support for RemoteFX (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
Microsoft RemoteFX introduces a set of user experience enhancements in RDP that enable a rich local desktop environment for remote desktops. RDP is designed to provide remote display and input capabilities over network connections for Windows-based applications that run on a server.
By using advanced codecs and virtual graphic resources on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, RemoteFX adds support for most types of graphical applications, including three-dimensional (3-D) and rich multimedia support for virtual desktops.
RemoteFX technology is different from traditional software-only codecs because it uses the hardware on servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 to efficiently encode data before the data is sent to a device. The RemoteFX codec was designed to efficiently compress data, a software design that satisfies the goals of high quality and low latency while it uses a modest amount of computer resources.
