TCX Suite

Dell Wyse TCX Suite is a single software solution that provides the benefits of cloud client computing. The supported environments for Dell Wyse TCX Suite are Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Citrix Virtual Apps, Teradici, and VMware Horizon View. The Collaborative Processing Architecture (CPA) used in Dell Wyse TCX divides the workload between the server and Plug-n-Play USB devices. TCX Suite uses the established software protocols to provide breakthrough multimedia and audio technology for cloud client computing environments. For more information about the TCX features, see the latest Dell Wyse TCX Administrator’s Guide.

TCX Suite enables rich flash playback, multiple monitors awareness, rich multimedia playback, high-quality bidirectional audio capabilities, and seamless USB device access for cloud clients.

TCX Suite provides the following features:
  • TCX Flash Acceleration and TCX Flash Redirection—Enhances the performance of the Flash video content in a remote computing environment.
  • TCX Multidisplay—Provides productivity, enhancing advantages for cloud clients with multiple monitors by using virtual desktops.
  • TCX Multimedia—Supports enhanced playback of MPEG, WAV, WMV, H.264, and other multimedia file formats. The software includes both the server and the client components that redirect multimedia processing tasks between the client and server for a rich user experience.
  • TCX Rich Sound—Provides bidirectional audio capabilities for virtual desktops and applications and supports sound recording and playback applications. It supports zero-compromise deployment.
  • TCX USB Virtualizer—Makes the USB devices attached to thin clients or endpoints visible to the virtual desktops and applications. It removes any dependencies on limited local device drivers for a broad range of USB-based printers, scanners, storage devices, Palmtop, BlackBerry, Pocket PC handhelds, HID devices, Webcams, headsets, iPhone, credit card machines, and smart cards.
  • TCX Monitor—Helps you to efficiently identify the system state for proper functioning of USB and Flash Redirection modules.
