Xencelabs Pen Display Support

Supported Xencelabs Pen Displays

Xencelabs Pen Displays are supported in the locally terminated mode, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Software Client. It is also supported in the bridged mode, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing.

Support is available when a connection is initiated from a macOS Client to a Windows Graphics or Standard agent.

Wacom

Wacom Tablet Support

The Software Client for macOS supports Wacom tablets in two configurations: bridged, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing, and locally terminated, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Software Client.

Audio

Audio Support

Stereo audio output and mono audio input are supported and enabled by default. When an audio device is enabled and used in a session, it is saved as user preferences, and becomes available as the default audio for future sessions.

Audio input devices should not be bridged to the remote session. Audio input devices are locally terminated and utilize local OS audio drivers. A bluetooth headset can be supported locally, but cannot be bridged.

Client Modes

Client Modes

The Software Client for macOS supports multiple performance modes to suit different types of workloads. Performance modes are described next. To change the client mode, see Selecting a Client Mode below.

Relative Mouse

Relative Mouse Support

Relative Mouse is a method of translating mouse movements as a delta from the last mouse position rather than a move to an absolute position on the screen. This type of mouse control is used in many CAD/CAM, Visual Effects and First-Person Gaming software. In a CAD program you may want to control an objects orientation in 3-D with mouse movements.
