This example shows Remote Video System IP in use in a point-of-sale station in a department store. The
Remote Video System IP allows the business to remove PCs from the point-of-sale stations and have them in the
back office instead.
Figure 2-3. Point-of-sale application.
With the RealPort and VNC drivers on the server, the Remote Video System IP allows for USB, serial, or VGA
data and control to be transmitted over the network. The USB, serial, and VGA protocols are encapsulated in
IP packets that are transmitted. The Remote Video System IP is compatible with standard VGA or SVGA
displays and can also be used with an AnywhereUSB network-enabled USB hub to add additional USB devices
such as a keyboard and a mouse at the point of display.
NOTE
Right now, only USB devices that do not require drivers are supported at the point of
display. However, future releases of the Remote Video System IP will support USB
connections to a wider range of devices.
