PCoIP Endpoints

PCoIP is a flexible technology that lets you deploy both PCoIP hardware endpoints and PCoIP software endpoints in your end-to-end network.

PCoIP Hardware Endpoints

PCoIP hardware endpoints include PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards and zero clients. These devices contain embedded PCoIP processors for image compression/decompression and coding/decoding, respectively. The table below lists the processor name and family for zero clients and remote workstation cards, along with the set of display resolutions the device supports.

Note: The processor name refers to the chipset used in the PCoIP device. For example, TERA2140 is the processor used in the second-generation TERA2140 zero client, and TERA2240 is the processor used in the second-generation TERA2240 PCIe remote workstation card (for tower PC or rack mount workstations) and TERA2240 PCI Mezzanine remote workstation card (for blade workstations). For details on how to display the processor name for your device, see Displaying Processor Information.

Supported Resolutions for PCoIP Remote Workstation Cards and Zero Clients

Processor Name	Maximum No. of Supported Displays and Resolutions	Device Type	Processor Family
TERA1100	2 x 1920x1200	zero client	Tera1
TERA2321	2 x 1920x1200 1 x 2560x1600*	zero client	Tera2
TERA2140	4 x 1920x1200 2 x 2560x1600*	zero client	Tera2
TERA1202	2 x 1920x1200	remote workstation card	Tera1
TERA2220	2 x 1920x1200 1 x 2560x1600	remote workstation card	Tera2
TERA2240	4 x 1920x1200 2 x 2560x1600	remote workstation card	Tera2
*Tera2 zero clients support 2560x1600 resolution on attached displays using either DVI (with Y-cable) or DisplayPort interfaces. For instructions on how to connect cables to Tera2 zero clients with DVI and/or DisplayPort ports to support this resolution, see DVI and DisplayPort Interfaces.

You can mix and match any remote workstation card with any zero client. However, when you connect a zero client to a remote workstation card, the maximum supported resolutions for any displays attached to the client will equal the most common denominator between the two devices. For example, if you connect a TERA2140 zero client to a TERA2240 remote workstation card, you can attach up to four 1920x1200 displays or two 2560x1600 displays. However, if you connect a TERA2321 zero client to the same remote workstation card, the options become up to two 1920x1200 displays or one 2560x1600 display.

PCoIP Software Endpoints

A number of software endpoints also support PCoIP, such as the following:

Teradici PCoIP® Software Clients: PCoIP software clients for Windows and Mac OS X that are developed by Teradici.
Teradici PCoIP® Mobile Clients: PCoIP mobile clients for for Android and iOS tablets that are developed by Teradici.
Teradici PCoIP® Workstation Access Software: A PCoIP software application developed by Teradici that allows users to remotely access their workstations using the PCoIP protocol without having to install a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card. You can connect to the PCoIP Access Software using either a Tera2 zero client or a PCoIP software client.
VMware Horizon software clients and VDI desktops: Desktop virtualization products developed by VMware that uses the PCoIP protocol. You can connect to your VMware Horizon VDI desktop using a zero client.
VMware Horizon RDS-hosted published desktops and applications. App-remoting desktops and applications developed by VMware that uses the PCoIP protocol. You can configure a Tera2 zero client to access VMware Horizon RDS-hosted streamed applications and desktops.
Amazon WorkSpaces desktops: Desktop virtualization products developed by Amazon that uses the PCoIP protocol. You can connect to your Amazon WorkSpaces desktop using a Tera2 zero client.
PCoIP optimized clients: Software PCoIP clients that have been optimized to take advantage of thin client platforms, including system on chip (SoC) processors. These clients are developed individually for specific client platforms in order to deliver the best possible combination of features and performance.
