Re: Images/Video/Graphics/PDF over RDP

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


that is the pain, when using terminal sessions. you can try disabling
anti-aliasing in the adobe reader, somewhere under settings... this looks
ugly but scrolls ways better over such WAN links.

the only thing you can do and what will help, is to get more bandwidth to
the clients.

consider a small 320x240 pixel flash animation with 10 frames per seconds.
the raw data rate were 320x240x1.875x20=~1.4MB/s. compressed: ~0.6MB/s. this
are 4.8MBits bandwidth for the bitmap data only. currently you have
0.125MBits upstream the clients. who wonders, the animation is choppy?

i dunno how good citrix is, but there is quite less citrix can help you
there. citrix is limited to capturing a known video stream (e.g. mpeg-2) and
decode/render it on the client side, instead of the server side, that's it.
since flash use vector animations, unknown/proprietary codecs and flash IS
proprietary ... citrix can do less than nothing. it's useless IMHO, except
for bidirectional audio (software ip phone)

btw: server 2008 compress a lil much better, but that is at most
meassurable.

I'm suffering from the stresses of clients complaining that their RDP
sessions are "getting slower".
I am certain that this is a bandwidth problem - and the "blocky"
appearance
is the screen catching up to what the server is showing - especially when
the
graphic content of everything that we have is getting lager and
"higher-resolution".

My question is, short of upgrading every link (currently DSL512/128k) to
something much faster - has anyone got any other
suggestions/software/solutions that might help?

Its not the server (log on via the Lan local to the server and the screen
is
wonderful)..

Client resolution is 1024x768@15bit (some slightly bigger/widescreen).

I need to be able to deliver Flash, Highres photos and PDF files to the
RDP
Clients with little or not "blocky" appearance.

I understand I am trying to squeeze a lot of data down a little pipe - but
should I expect video and flash (think advertising you see on a newspaper
site for example) never to work sucessfully on slower links?

I'm working on more bandwidth for the sites... but
Will TS2008 fix/improve my problems?
Is there an RDP Client "replacement" that will help?
Help/Suggestons/Product recommendations all welcome.
Mike
