User Experience Profiles
User Experience Profiles¶
If fine tuning of user experience is needed, PCoIP session parameters impacting frame rate, image quality and bandwidth may be tuned via the Group Policy Editor (Windows) or session configuration file (Linux or macOS) as described in the respective PCoIP Agent Administrator Guides. To assist tuning, five user experience profiles and recommended session parameters are provided below as basis for protocol optimization on different networks.
User Experience Profiles
| Profile | User Experience | Bandwidth | Network | User Roles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profile A | Best | Highest | LAN | Review/CAD and Creative |
| Profile B | Great | Moderate | LAN/WAN | CAD and Creative/Knowledge Worker |
| Profile C | Good | Optimized | WAN | Knowledge Worker |
| Profile D | Good | Constrained | WAN | Knowledge/Task Worker |
| Profile E | Limited | Lowest | Shared WAN | Task Workers with small screens |
