The following are demonstrations of Provision Networks Multimedia Redirection for VDI and Windows Terminal Services. These demonstrations are intended to compare native RDP Protocol rendering of multimedia vs Provision Networks Multimedia Redirection Technology.

Patrick - Looks really cool. Does it at all change the bandwidth that RDP uses?
June 8th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
We are working on ways to make it work over all speed connections, but in this first iteration, it is only suitable for LAN and Broadband Connection.
I’m trying to update the youtube flash files with my original uncompressed video, as this stuff is very impressive.

Looks like you covered another missing piece, looks great!
Any news on when this is going to be available, I suppose in VAS package ?

Any plans on testing it over a low-bandwith connection such as WAN, UMTS, GPRS, HSDPA?

Multimedia Redirection is part of our Experience Optimization Pack, which is “currently” being offered for free to anyone wtho purchases Virtual Access Suite, Desktop Services Edition. This is the VDI product that supports application and desktop publishing from Virtual and Physical Desktops. It will be available the day 5.10 ships. We delayed the shipment of 5.10 from the original date of May 31st, to address some outstanding issues, instead of shipping a product with known bugs. (what a concept).

Channel-V, I have already done extensive testing over 1Mb, 5Mb, 10Mb, 50Mb and 100Mb connections. “Currently” the technology is great over LAN speed connections, but we are working on ways to improve it for any speed connection. This is version one, so be patient.
It currently works on Windows with WMP 10 or 11, but we’ll have support for Linux very soon.

Patrick,
Will the protocols (wether it is ICA, RDP, …) have an important influence on the adoption of VDI in the enterprise?

Looks great! What multimedia codecs do you support with these redirections technologies?
June 10th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Rick, anything that plays in Windows Media Play 10 or 11. I’ve tested WMV and AVI, but anything that uses Direct Show is supported. Are there certain CODECs that you’d like to support, or have me test?

Superb, i’m assuming XPe is supported?
Any news on Flash?
Thanks

So long as XPe has Windows Media Player 10 or higher, it should work fine. As for Flash Redirection, this is something we’ve been actively developing for months, but it is not that simple (or someone would have done it already). We hope to be the first to bring this feature to market, and hopefully by the end of this year. The other feature we have prototyped is speedscreen for RDP, although we’ll have to use a different name.

Channel-V, we think there is currently no perfect, does everything protocol. We currently extend RDP, and will be releasing some new features for overall graphics acceleration later this year, but have every intention of supporting “alternative display protocols”.
