Time to Upgrade? How to Improve User Experience for In-Studio & Remote Connections in Media & Entertainment
11 July 2024
We understand the challenges and the requirements of individual sectors when it comes to their IT architecture. In media and entertainment, for example, it is all about screen resolution. Whether working with film, in publishing or game development, it is vital that users have the compute required for crystal clear images – and that applies equally to those working in the studio and (as is increasingly common) remotely.
Looking back to 2020, we know from our own experience in the media and entertainment industry that many companies bought older hardware at short notice to enable remote working during the pandemic. Now, four years on and with the continued rapid advancement of technology, it could be time to upgrade.
Introducing the 5th generation
Our 5th Gen DX1500 and DX1700 series are ideal for high performance users in media and entertainment. Combining a secure thin client and mini PC in one platform, they give users the power, agility and flexibility to work more effectively in the studio, from home or in any other location, without compromising performance or security.
The platform can run dual or quad video outputs up to 4k60, providing a high performance offering for power users. There are also performance points for static data, smooth video playback and multiple displays of high-motion full screen video, making it ideal for GPU-accelerated VDI, standard VDI or dedicated remote workstations.
Users can have up to four displays at 3840×2160 with performance to match, benefitting from a fanless design for increased uptime and reliability, not to mention silent performance.
Those upgrading to 5th Gen solutions will also benefit from:
- Streamlined media workflows
- Powerful thin clients for demanding workflows
- 4k60 video outputs wherever you work, with HP Anyware Pro as a PCoIP protocol
- Upgrade to PCoIP Ultra, for optimum resolution including bit-exact colour accuracy and preservation of content detail at the highest frame rates
The results speak for themselves. Our 5th Gen DX secure thin client improves user experience for in-studio and work from home connections. Used with HP Anyware Pro software, it delivers a reduction in session bandwidth compared with DXZ4 and Tera2 hosts and consistently increases frame rates – both vital deliverables for those working in media and entertainment.
