Chapter 13: Keyboard/Mouse (KbM)
13.4 Making RFB Connections
The NGS-D200 encoder can run an instance of RFB client. This enables the system to be controlled by a source PC that is
running an instance of RFB server. When the encoder connects to a decoder, any keyboard/mouse data from the decoder
will be forwarded to the encoder (RFB client) which will in turn forward this to the source PC (RFB server).
You should use an RFB connection to:
support legacy V2D XP installations
l
support extended desktop use cases in which you need to encode and share the secondary (non-primary) screen
l
N
OTE: When you connect the encoder as an RFB client to the host PC, all hardwired connections that were
transmitting KbM bytes to the host PC will be temporarily disabled. KbM data will only be forwarded logically from
the RFB client to the RFB server (host PC).
