The Display Topology page lets users change the display topology for a PCoIP session.

Before applying the display topology feature to a PCoIP session

To apply the display topology feature to a PCoIP session between a client and a VMware Horizon virtual desktop, you must have VMware Horizon 4.5 or higher. To apply the display topology feature to a PCoIP session between a client and a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card, you must have the Remote Workstation Card Software installed on the host.

Use the OSD, rather than Windows Display Settings, to change display topology settings

Always change the display topology settings using this OSD Display Topology page. Do not try to change these settings using the Windows Display Settings in a virtual machine when using VMware Horizon.

OSD Quad-display Topology Parameters

Parameter	Description
Enable Configuration	Enable to configure a device that supports four displays per PCoIP chipset.
Display Layout	Select the layout for the displays (A, B, C, and D). This setting should reflect the physical layout of the displays on the desk. Horizontal: Select to arrange displays horizontally, as indicated in the diagram. Vertical: Select to arrange displays vertically, as indicated in the diagram. Box: Select to arrange displays in a box formation, as indicated in the diagram.
Alignment	Select how you want displays aligned when they are different sizes. This setting affects which area of the screen to use when users move the cursor from one display to the other. The alignment options that appear in the drop-down list depend on the selected display layout. Horizontal layout: Top: Select to align displays at the top. With this setting, use the top area of the screen when navigating between displays of different sizes. Center: Select to horizontally center displays. With this setting, use the center area of the screen when navigating between displays of different sizes. Bottom: Select to align displays at the bottom. With this setting, use the bottom area of the screen when navigating between displays of different sizes. Vertical layout: Left: Select to align displays on the left. With this setting, use the left area of the screen when navigating between displays of different sizes. Center: Select to vertically center displays. With this setting, use the center area of the screen when navigating between displays of different sizes. Right: Select to align displays on the right. With this setting, use the right area of the screen when navigating between displays of different sizes.
Primary	Configure which video port on the Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client that you want as the primary port. The display that is connected to the primary port becomes the primary display (that is, the display that contains the OSD menus before you initiate a PCoIP session and the display that is requested for the Windows taskbar after you initiate the session). Port 1: Select to configure port 1 on the Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client as the primary port. Port 2: Select to configure port 2 on the Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client as the primary port. Port 3: Select to configure port 3 on the Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client as the primary port. Port 4: Select to configure port 4 on the Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client as the primary port.
Position	Specify which display is physically connected to each port.
Rotation	Configure the rotation of the display in each port: No rotation 90° clockwise 180° rotation 90° counter-clockwise
Resolution	The display resolution can be configured for a PCoIP session between a virtual machine or host and a Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client. The Tera2 PCoIP Zero Client detects the supported display resolutions of the monitor and populates them to the drop-down menu. By default, the display’s native resolution is used.

To configure display settings:

From the OSD, select Options > User Settings > Display Topology.
From the OSD Display Topology page, update the settings for the attached displays.
