Release Overview

The PCoIP Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of libraries and binaries provided to Teradici Cloud Access Platform customers who require the ability to customize and build a PCoIP client.

With control over how the PCoIP client is built, you can:

PCoIP Client SDK 20.01 introduces new fixes and updates to the previous release. This article provides a summary of key additions, compatibility notes, resolved issues, and known issues for this release.

To build additional functionality, such as extended peripheral support, you can utilize the Teradici PCoIP Virtual Channel SDK.

What's New in This Release

This release introduces the following features and enhancements to the PCoIP Client Software SDK 20.01 for Windows:

Detect Monitors Feature

Detect Monitors is a new menu item that enables users to trigger the client to recognize if there has been a change in the displays connected to the Client. For example, if you are plugging a projector into a laptop. This feature extends the remote workstation to include the projector without having to disconnect or reconnect to the session.

Support for Locally Terminated Wacom Tablet

In this release the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 - Pen only Wacom Tablet is supported through local termination on the PCoIP Software Client SDK for Windows.

 

Important Notes and Requirements
