Features

• Remote Gaming Streaming Clients - Playing high-fidelity games on low-power devices by streaming video and audio from a powerful host computer over a network.
• Game Streaming Hosts - The software configures a host machine to broadcast game streams over local networks or the internet using secure connectivity and tunneling methods.
• Hardware-Accelerated Decoders - The software utilizes local hardware acceleration to decode high-fidelity video streams from the host computer, ensuring low-latency performance during remote sessions.
• Remote Input Simulation - The software forwards local keyboard, mouse, and controller inputs to the remote host to maintain full control over the desktop or gaming environment.
• Multi-User Input Synchronizers - Enables collaborative or competitive remote gaming by multiplexing multiple local gamepads and peripherals into a single remote session.
• High-Fidelity Streaming - The software transmits high-resolution video with high dynamic range to enable immersive remote gaming experiences with minimal visual lag.
• Input Event Routers - Captures local peripheral signals and serializes them into remote control commands to simulate native interaction on the host machine.
• Remote Desktop Environments - Accessing and controlling a desktop environment from various mobile, console, or computer hardware with full keyboard and mouse input support.
• Audio Streaming Engines - The software streams multi-channel surround sound from the host system to the local client to maintain immersive audio environments during remote sessions.
• Adaptive Bitrate Controllers - Monitors network congestion in real time to scale video quality and frame rates to maintain a smooth streaming experience.
• Media Streaming Protocols - Transmits real-time audio and video data packets over custom protocols designed to prioritize low-latency delivery over perfect reliability.
• Video Streaming Clients - A cross-platform application that decodes high-fidelity video and audio streams from a remote host using NVIDIA GameStream or Sunshine protocols.
• High-Refresh Rate Streaming - The software supports high frame rate streaming by disabling synchronization settings to minimize input latency and provide a responsive remote gaming experience.
