Can multiple PCoIP Zero Clients connect to multiple PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards in a workstation/PC simultaneously?

You can install multiple PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards (host cards) into a workstation/PC and have multiple PCoIP Zero Clients connecting to them simultaneously. Each PCoIP Zero Client must have 1 PCoIP Remote Workstation Card. PCoIP Zero Clients can only connect to 1 PCoIP Remote Workstation Card at a time. PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards will only accept 1 PCoIP Zero Client at a time. 

Note: The PCoIP Host Software cannot be used in this scenario as it only supports 1 PCoIP Remote Workstation Card per a workstation. Due to this limitation, the PCoIP Software Client is not supported in this scenario.

It can be used in different scenarios and examples are as follows:

• Multi-monitors: If you want more than two monitors or 4 monitors on the client end, you can have multiple PCoIP Zero Clients connecting to multiple PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards installed to the same workstation/PC, with graphics to the PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards driven by one or more GPUs.

• Collaboration mode with multiple PCoIP sessions: If you want multiple users each with a PCoIP Zero Client to remote to the same workstation/PC at the same time, you can install multiple PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards into a single workstation/PC and establish separate PCoIP sessions. This is an environment using PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards where users simultaneously share the same host PC, and can support high-end imaging or 3D collaboration over long distances.The additional PCoIP Remote Workstation Card(s) can be driven by either an additional GPU or an active DVI/Display Port splitter from the existing GPU. Because users are sharing access to the same host PC, users have simultaneous access to the PC mouse and keyboard function. This means that users must collaborate to operate the host PC to avoid conflicting mouse movement or keyboard input.

This setup is useful for a variety of environments and situations:

• Engineering design
• Media and entertainment digital content creation
• Medical (operating theater)
• Command and control
• Boardrooms
• Digital signage

Notes:

• Use of multiple host cards requires the removal of the PCoIP Host Software if previously installed. 

• The number of users is restricted by the number of PCIe slots available in the PCIe expansion box and ports on the DVI/Display Port splitter (these must match with the number of PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards and PCoIP Zero clients).
