Flash Redirection
Introduction
Flash Redirection from VDI Server to VDI Client under Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI).
Without Flash Direction
Without Flash Redirection, the server gets Flash Content from Flash Resource Website, renders the Flash Content , compresses the Flash data after rendering and send screen updates to VDI Client.
With Flash Direction
With Flash Redirection, Flash is downloaded and displayed in VDI Client. When Internet Explorer needs to play a Flash, Flash Redirection System intercepts the commands IE sends to Flash object using a pseudo Flash object and sends the commands to VDI Client to execute. VDI Client gets Flash Content from Flash Resource Website and renders it.
