They can control scanner settings by selecting options in the remote desktop interface. To use this feature, the remote desktops and client computers must meet certain system requirements. System Requirements for Multimedia Redirection (MMR)With multimedia redirection (MMR), the multimedia stream is decoded on the client system. The client system plays the media content so that the load on the ESXi host is reduced.
