USB Support

With PCoIP, you will be able to attach the USB devices physically to the client machine and access it on the Agent machine. PCoIP agents support USB devices attached to PCoIP clients.

Modes of Connection

PCoIP supports two modes of USB connection:

• Local Termination mode: An HID is a device class definition that enables a generic USB driver to support devices such as keyboards, mice, tablets, controllers, etc. HID devices are mostly connected in local termination mode. In this mode, peripheral data is processed locally at the Software Client.
• Bridging mode: When USB require the use of specific drivers to gain the functionality of all their features (e.g. a multimedia keyboard would require the use of specific drivers to have functionality of the multimedia keys). These devices may need to be bridged to the host rather than being locally terminated. In this mode, peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing. 

Most Human Interface Devices (HIDs), such as keyboards and mice, are automatically handled by the PCoIP Software Client and don't appear on in this list even if they use a USB connection.

If you need to connect a Human Interface Device that can't be locally processed, like a 3D mouse or a Wacom tablet, enable the Show Human Interface Devices checkbox to reveal the device in the USB device list and click its Connect button.

Wacom Tablets

PCoIP Clients and Agents support Wacom tablets in both locally terminated and bridged modes. Wacom tablets are much more responsive and tolerate low latency connections in local termination mode as compared to bridged mode. 

• To connect the tablet in local termination mode, you need to click connect in the USB menu.
• To connect the tablet in bridged mode, you can either auto forward the device or you can override local termination by HID local termination blacklist

If local termination is supported for the particular device, it will automatically be chosen over bridging. Some tablets are supported with local termination mode, while some are only supported in bridged mode. Please refer to the links below for the list of supported tablets,

• Supported Wacom tablets for Windows Client
• Supported Wacom tablets for Linux Client
• Supported Wacom tablets for MacOS Client
• Supported Wacom tablets with Zero Client

Webcam

PCoIP supports webcams with the following setups:

• PCoIP software clients for Windows and software client for Linux connecting to PCoIP Agent for Windows (both standard and graphics). For requirements, refer to the links for Linux Client and Windows Client.
• PCoIP Zero Clients connecting with VMware View virtual desktops. For requirements, refer to the following link.
