Dell Wyse TCX multi-display

Extra screen real-estate for virtual desktop environmentsMultiple monitor awareness

Dell Wyse TCX Multi-display virtualization software makes virtual desktops and applications multi-monitor aware.

Multiple monitor awareness with increased productivity and user satisfaction

Instead of trying to consolidate everything in one monitor that could limit users to many

minimized or resized windows, Dell Wyse users can now easily open windows and applications side

by side on up to four monitors and leverage the extra screen real estate.

Users have total control over dialog box and message box positioning. They can recall and

reopen applications at positions where they were previously closed. In addition users can also

configure exclusion lists for applications ‘to apply’ or ‘not apply’ the multi-display settings.

This helps increase an end user’s workflow productivity and satisfaction.

Dell Wyse TCX Multi-display adds virtual channel support to enable logon GINA and Windows

Security dialog box positionings on some platforms. TCX Multi-display also supports

seamless or remote applications.

Dell Wyse brings multimedia to cloud client computing Rich multimedia support

Dell Wyse TCX Multimedia is a software solution that streamlines the delivery of multimedia

content to the local client for a richer user experience. Multimedia, as a training mechanism or

for corporate communications, is becoming more prevalent. Traditionally, multimedia playback

had a number of limitations in cloud client computing environments.

TCX Multimedia is a breakthrough technology that removes these limitations. It’s a

software layer featuring both server and client components that work intelligently to redirect

multimedia processing tasks dynamically between the client and server. The multimedia stream

is decoded locally on the thin client using the local processing power of the device thereby

providing a full synchronised audio and video experience.

Dell Wyse’s unique Collaborative Processing Architecture (CPA) frees-up the processing power

on the server and increases infrastructure scalability. The software is agnostic to the virtualization

infrastructure already in place in the data center. It also provides for full redirection of web-based

Windows media file videos, with the ability to run multiple multimedia files over multiple

displays, simultaneously.

Enhances user experience and server scalability

Deploying rich media rich applications using TCX Multimedia delivers a superior user

experience with significantly less demands on server processing and bandwidth.
