PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Note: For this example, it is assumed that very little data is required from the Portal back to the Host (i.e. USB keyboard and mouse data), and therefore the only the Host bandwidth is limited. To be complete, the Portal bandwidth limit could also be configured. -

PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Figure 4-19: Simplified User Bandwidth Requirements (25 Mbps) 4.3.2 Configuring Image Properties In the above section, the bandwidth was limited to 25 Mbps with a bandwidth target of 20 Mbps. Depending on the usage, it is possible that users may occasionally require more than that bandwidth limit to fully render their display information at maximum quality and full frame rate. -
Page 97: Figure 4-20: Portal Minimum Image Quality Configuration
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual can reduce the amount of bandwidth required per user while maintaining a minimum limit on the user experience. Note: This example uses the Administration Web Interface for configuring the Portal for Minimum Image Quality and Maximum Initial Image Quality. The Portal OSD may also be used to configure the Portal. -
Page 98: Configuring The Host Bandwidth Limit To 0 Mbps (No Limit)
PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual the Maximum Initial Image Quality to 60 was a preferable way of reducing bandwidth requirements than setting a hard limit on the Device Bandwidth Limit. Regardless of the Maximum Initial Image Quality setting, the PCoIP system will always build unchanged regions of the display to a lossless image. -

PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual Appendix C: Portal RDP Compatibility The Portal Firmware also supports a Remote Desktop Protocol client. This can be enabled for a lower-than-PCoIP experience. Table 6-1 below outlines the Portal RDP client capability.
