Multi-codec support with PCoIP

If you look at how an image is built up and how the content is rendered, some of the components of the image might require the use of different codecs to display the image, depending on what type of image it is. For example, you would use a different codec to display text from one that you would use to display videos.

PCoIP can analyze these different media image components and apply the appropriate codec for each pixel before compressing, encrypting, and sending the pixels to the endpoint device for decoding. Working in this way allows PCoIP to transmit the pixels more efficiently, which ultimately means less bandwidth and better performance. It also means that you can control the image content quality that is being delivered. We will talk about it in the next section.
