APPENDIX B: CONFIGURING WINDOWS VIRTUAL MACHINES
A few properties must be configured on a target Windows Virtual Machine for Emerald to connect with it.
On the Windows Virtual Machine click on the Start button and launch a command window. Then launch group policy editor –
gpedit.msc.
Start >> Run >> “cmd” >> “gpedit.msc”
Once the Local group Policy editor is open follow this path:
Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Remote Desktop Services >> Remote Desktop
Session Host >> Remote Session Environment
Ensure the following three policies are set as follows:
1. Optimize visual experience when using RemoteFX.
For this policy set both the “Screen Capture Rate” and “Screen Image Quality” to Highest.
2. Configure RemoteFX.
Set this policy to enabled
3. Limit maximum color depth.
Set this policy to “Client Compatible.”
Once the above policies have been applied, reboot the Virtual Machine. It is now enabled for Emerald connections.
There are different settings to optimize the performance of Emerald with different Windows operating systems. These are defined
in the application note – Emerald Group Policies for Optimal Performance for Windows Targets.
It is not possible to connect to a transmitter from a computer/laptop running RDP. A receiver is always required.
