Access Device — Ncomputing Xd3

It was a typical Monday morning at Springdale Elementary School, with the sound of chatter and clinking backpacks filling the hallways. But amidst the chaos, one thing was clear: the school's IT team was in a bind.

High Performance Hardware

: Powered by a Numo 3 System-on-Chip (ARM), the XD3 supports full HD 1080p video playback and 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet for fast connectivity. ncomputing xd3 access device

XD3’s hybrid USB stack

However, the standout feature is the . Unlike standard thin clients that struggle with multi-function printers, scanners, or USB license dongles, the XD3 uses a proprietary redirection engine that treats USB devices as if they were physically plugged into the host server.

Conclusion

• 4K Video Playback: The XD3 can decode YouTube and local server-hosted video at 4K 60fps smoothly. This is because PCoIP offloads the H.264 decoding to the GPU, not the CPU.
• USB Redirection: Users often need local scanners or printers. The XD3 supports high-speed USB 3.0 redirection, meaning a scanner plugged into the XD3 appears as a local device on the remote Windows 10 desktop.
• Latency: At 1080p, the XD3 adds less than 1ms of decode latency. For CAD and design work, this is imperceptible.
