The selected media type and resolution is then sent to the client and the webcam uses that to start the webcam feed. (If for some reason this media type negotiation fails, HDX falls back to our legacy way of webcam redirection, which is to use hard coded 352×288 resolution). Media types that aren’t supported will be filtered out and not offered to the application.Īt the moment, HDX supports the RGB formats, YUV420 formats and YUY2 packed formats.Īpplication running on the VDA picks the desired media type and resolution from the list that was offered. Server will then offer this list to the hosted application trying to use the webcam. Then, the HDX PnP virtual channel is used to send this information to the VDA. This enhancement allows high-def webcam native resolutions for virtual sessions, up to 1080p.Ĭitrix Receiver now queries the webcams on the client for their list of supported capabilities (media type information and resolutions).

In XenDesktop 7.16 and XenApp 7.18 (with Receiver for Windows 4.10 or higher) support was added for native resolutions beyond 352×288 (CIF). HDX webcam video compression requires that the following policy settings be enabled (all are enabled by default). HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression uses upstream bandwidth in the rage of 300-600 kbps (for CIF resolutions).įurther information regarding configuration of HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression is available on the Citrix documentation site – see HDX video conferencing and webcam video compression. HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression allows less bandwidth consumption and is especially suited to deployments where the VDA and client reside across slow networks. Note: 64-bit Application support for HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression requires XenApp / XenDesktop 7.17 or later, and also Receiver for Windows 4.11 or later
#CITRIX RECEIVER FOR MAC RESOLUTION DRIVERS#
Sometimes, default drivers are installed when the device is first plugged in, but these drivers might not offer the video color space that the client’s codec is looking for, which might lead to higher CPU consumption on the user device as a result of color space conversion.
#CITRIX RECEIVER FOR MAC RESOLUTION DRIVER#
It is recommended that the latest drivers are obtained directly from the webcam manufacturer’s website (or use the driver CD that came with the webcam). Device drivers are only required on the client device. Installation of the device drivers for the webcam is not required on the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA). With HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression, the video data is captured on the user device it is then compressed and sent to the XenApp/XenDesktop session. HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression is generally recommended since it offers superior bandwidth efficiency. Users can choose between the two based on their specific requirements.

Webcams can be used by applications running within the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops session either by HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression or by using HDX Plug-n-Play technology. Optimized solutions exist for Microsoft Skype for Business, Microsoft Lync 2013, Cisco Jabber for VDI, and Avaya one-X Communicator. These optimized solutions shift the media processing workload to the user device, thereby maximizing server scalability. In addition to the two approaches discussed in this article, it should be noted that “optimized” solutions are available for certain leading Unified Communications applications.

This article contains information about using webcams with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly XenApp and XenDesktop) and explains the HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression and HDX Plug-n-Play Generic USB Redirection features.
