Temporal dithering is a technique employed by some graphics cards to simulate colors that they cannot natively display by rapidly changing the colors of pixels, thus tricking the eye into seeing “in-between” colors. During PCoIP remote sessions, temporal dithering can cause extremely high bandwidth utilization because the rapidly changing pixels force the PCoIP protocol to constantly deliver large screen updates to the remote desktop. Temporal dithering should be disabled on workstation graphics cards supporting PCoIP sessions. Consult your graphics card documentation or contact the card vendor for details on disabling temporal dithering. Knowledge Base article KB 1087 on the Teradici Support Site also contains information on disabling temporal dithering on some graphics cards.
