Will Ncomputing multiple PC's work?

Redatom,

I've looked at the ncomputing solution and I understand what they are doing. It looks like they are exporting individual user sessions from a central PC to the inexpensive terminal devices. It looks like a good solution for schools and the like.

What you suggested should work. Basically whatever is coming out of the VGA port of the client device (L130 or L230) will get broadcast as an individual channel. You certainly could have a USB hub with individual receivers for the remotes as well. Each receiver can support up to 8 connected devices, so you probably would not need to do the USB hub expansion unless you needed physical separation of the remote/receiver pairs.

I am not sure exactly what you application is, but getting back the keyboard and mouse connections would be tricky. If you application is more broadcast and signage than user interactive, then this may not be an issue. If you are thinking about having interactive user sessions with keyboards and mice at each TV, then you have the challenge of getting those controls back to the respective ncomputing devices.

The only caveat that I bring up depends on the virtualization software. Each ZvBox would need an independent instance of ZvBox Manager running the associated user space attached to that session. The ZvBox Manager application requires control over the ability to set the screen resolution. Depending how cleanly this is done by the virtualization SW will determine how well this will work.

Interesting question. What is the application?
