In a virtual desktop (VDI) or virtual application environment, HDX RealTime enhances real-time communications by leveraging technologies at the endpoint and in the datacenter.

HDX RealTime is supported by bi-directional audio capabilities. This enables users to connect audio peripherals such as microphones and dictation hardware at the endpoint device that interact with virtual applications and virtual desktops hosted in the data center. On the server side, the real-time media stream is highly compressed and optimized to enable performance and clarity over the network.

Citrix continues to work on enhancements to audio/visual capabilities that will further enhance the ability to support real-time communications in a virtual desktop ( VDI) environment from any location or device.
