Hardware Video Acceleration on IGEL OS
Question
Does my hardware with IGEL OS offer video acceleration?
Answer
Open Application Launcher > About to look up your product ID and device type:
In version 5.07.100 and newer and version 10.01.100 and newer, IGEL OS offers hardware video acceleration for
Media Player
Citrix Multimedia Redirection
RDP Multimedia Redirection (TSMF and EVOR)
VMware Horizon Multimedia Redirection
on selected devices. This allows playing back HD video with a maximum of 20% CPU usage.
The Multimedia Codec Pack (MMCP) is required for this feature if your IGEL OS version is lower than 11.01.100.
