10ZiG
Technology today announced that its 5910q Windows 10 IoT Thin Client is
verified as Citrix Ready and becomes the first VDI endpoint provider to
achieve the new Citrix H.265 encoding support.
Not
long after the Citrix release of H.265 High Efficiency Video Coding
(HEVC) Technology, 10ZiG was quick to respond and support the
revolutionary codec via its exceptional triple-monitor, 4K UHD, power
class 5910q Windows 10 IoT Thin Client. Once HEVC was announced for
Citrix XenDesktop7.16 and NVIDIA GPUs, 10ZiG left slower-moving endpoint
providers behind by quickly becoming the first to achieve Citrix Ready
for the H.265 codec.
Says
Kevin Greenway, 10ZiG CTO, "As with any new release feature, 10ZiG is
always ready to quickly get our cutting-edge, high-performing, hardware
supportive as soon as possible. Our 5910q device for Windows 10 IoT is
the perfect fit for H.265 codec support, as it really pushes the
boundaries with its high-quality, 4K UHD, triple-monitor advantage. The
combination of the exceptional hardware features with Citrix and H.265
HEVC, offers 3D graphics use cases with improved visuals and reduced
bandwidth at up to 4K (UHD) resolutions."
"10ZiG
has been a great Citrix Ready program partner for years. Not only has
their 5910q Thin Client passed all three levels of Citrix Ready
verification, most notable is that this device supports the Citrix H.265
HEVC codec," said John Panagulias, Director, Citrix Ready, Citrix.
"Their responsiveness to adapt so quickly to the latest release feature
is impressive, and we appreciate this milestone achievement as it allows
Citrix to now deliver an end-to-end VDI solution more powerful and
efficient than ever before."
The
10ZiG 5900q Series Thin and Zero Client product line is one of the
newest endpoints on the market today. It is based on the Intel Braswell
Refresh CPU platform, which is one of the few that work with H.265
codec. Its 3-monitor support includes a 1x HDMI / 2x DisplayPort
combination and other features include Touch Technology, Optional PoE,
and more.
The
H.265 codec is the new video compression standard improving coding
efficiency. H.265 offers an average 20% reduction of bandwidth
consumption with amazing display quality. Its algorithm uses efficient
coding by encoding video at the lowest possible bit rate, while
maintaining the highest image quality level possible. Both H.265 and
H.264 compare and replace different parts of redundant video frames with
short information describing the original pixels. Where H.265 differs
is its ability to expand the size of these areas into smaller or bigger
blocks. This range of capability is much greater in H.265. The end
result for Citrix & 10ZiG users is better compression, lower
bandwidth, and top-quality displays.
