RGS Advanced Features (Windows/Linux only)
This section discusses RGS Advanced Features:
●
Advanced Video Compression (Windows/Linux only)
●
HP Velocity (Windows/Linux only)
IMPORTANT: On Windows-based receivers, RGS Advanced Features require a one-time activation that
occurs when the rst RGS connection is established, and this activation requires Internet access. If using a
proxy server for your LAN, make sure your proxy settings are congured correctly (see Network on page 21).
Activation does not work with a proxy auto-conguration (PAC) le or with the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery
(WPAD) protocol.
The activation process uses anonymous access, so you must congure your proxy server to allow anonymous
access for the IP address activation.rgs.ext.hp.com (15.0.92.201).
For thin clients with a write lter, HP recommends disabling the write lter prior to the rst RGS connection so
that the les created during activation are permanently written to the hard drive. The write lter should be re-
enabled afterwards.
NOTE: The old activation IP address, 192.151.30.9, has been decommissioned.
Advanced Video Compression (Windows/Linux only)
Advanced Video Compression is an RGS Advanced Feature that enables the use of a modern video codec to
greatly reduce the network bandwidth needed for high-quality video streams.
Advanced Video Compression is ideal for video or 3D applications in textured mode. It is not recommended for
use with wireframes or ne lines, as screen artifacts might appear when in motion. Advanced Video
Compression can be enabled in the Performance panel of the RGS Receiver settings.
IMPORTANT: System requirements for Advanced Video Compression might be higher than the base RGS
system requirements, all of which are described in the QuickSpecs (see Finding more information on page 4).
NOTICE: The performance of Advanced Video Compression for resolutions larger than full HD (1920x1080)
varies depending on the content.
Advanced Video Compression does not currently support 4K (Ultra HD) resolutions.
HP Velocity (Windows/Linux only)
HP Velocity is an RGS Advanced Feature that improves performance within a wide area network (WAN).
HP Velocity status is displayed on the RGS Receiver toolbar:
●
Blue—HP Velocity is monitoring network loss and is ready to be used.
●
Green—HP Velocity is actively working to improve network conditions.
●
Grey—HP Velocity has not been activated.
NOTE: HP Velocity might increase network bandwidth usage.
