RDP8 (dynamic audio compression codecs) on RD-SH (Terminal Services), *not* VDI.

this confusing.

i understand "remotefx" means "rdp8", i.e. not vgpu stuff.

i want run session-based rdp system, i.e. traditional terminal server, not vdi, want benefit dynamic audio codecs operate on wan links, voice dictation.

will benefits (a) if run physical rd-sh, *without* kind of hyper-v, , without physical gpu?

secondly, need make sure "remotefx" in use? not care 3d graphics, read in server 2012, remotefx = "the collection of: audio compression, udp, improved wan stuff, usb redirection, , vgpu", physical gpu not required.

i want make sure getting other benefits, in particular audio codecs.

thanks,

carl

it's ok. have tested now.

i downloaded windows 8 evaluation , installed under virtualbox.

i forwarded ports (including rdp udp), rather use vpn, , tested home.

the "connection quality" button shows (as per kb article above), says using udp, , can see h.264 being used video , other moving webpage objects, , there progressive lossy/compressy download of images on webpages.

this good.

however did observe limitation in system. dialogue box (e.g. task manager) partially covering video (e.g. youtube movie), have overlapping part of window "h.264-ized", , in case of low bandwidth connection, means overlapping part of task manager window chopped , distorted.

i hope able ban users watching videos anyway.

cheers,

carl
