Citrix HDX multimedia acceleration improves playback via Media Player within an ICA session on the remote desktop and allows isosynchronous transmissions, e.g. of webcams within the session.

See Supported formats and codecs.


To improve multimedia playback on the remote desktop, proceed as follows:

  1. To take advantage of improved playback, ensure that the necessary codecs are installed on the remote desktop page.
  2. Enable multimedia redirection on the thin client.
  3. Create the session.
  4. Begin playback on the remote desktop.


    From IGEL Linux 5.06.100, hardware acceleration for multimedia playback is available on certain devices. You will find more detailed information in the FAQ Hardware Video Acceleration on IGEL OS.
