1 RGS overview
HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) brings added security, performance, mobility, and collaboration to your
workstation deployment. With RGS, you can use a lower-powered desktop, notebook, or thin client to
remotely connect to a powerful workstation and use your graphics-intensive workstation programs wherever
you go.
Your programs run natively on the remote workstation and take full advantage of its graphics resources. The
desktop of the remote workstation is transmitted over a standard network to your local computer using
advanced image compression technology specically designed for digital imagery, text, and high frame rate
video applications.
The following image and table demonstrate a typical RGS deployment.
Item Description
1 The sender is typically a high-performance workstation, virtual workstation, blade, or server that hosts your software.
RGS Sender is installed on the sender and transmits graphics, audio, and USB data to the receiver. The sender receives
input and USB data from the receiver.
NOTE: A monitor does not necessarily have to be connected to the sender.
2 The receiver is typically a desktop, notebook, tablet, or thin client with RGS Receiver installed. You establish the RGS
connection from the receiver side. The desktop of the sender is displayed inside the RGS Receiver window on the receiver,
and RGS Receiver transmits input to the sender, allowing you to interact with your programs remotely.
3 A TCP/IP network serves as the communication link between the sender and the receiver.
IMPORTANT: The sender and receiver must be on the same network for an RGS connection to be established between
them.
NOTE: RGS software and documentation might also refer to the sender and the receiver as the remote
computer and the local computer respectively.
RGS system requirements, such as hardware and operating system support, are not discussed in this
document. Some RGS features might have additional system requirements. System requirements are
described in the QuickSpecs (see Finding more information on page 4).
