Activating or Deactivating Omnissa Horizon Blast Codec Multi-threaded Encoding

Horizon Blast codec multi-threaded encoding leverages multiple CPU cores in a system to spread the load across the several cores available to reduce encoding time.

  • Windows - Agent 2206 or later and Client 2206 or later
