Supercharge video streaming with SuperRDP - No expensive GPUs required
SuperRDP sofware is powered by NComputing vCAST Streaming technology. vCAST delivers direct streaming to your endpoint devices, reduces the overall server-side CPU usage for web videos like YouTube, Vimeo and local media content without the need for expensive GPUs.
By conserving server-side hardware resources and bandwidth, SuperRDP enables more concurrent user sessions to be run at the same time while ensuring the same high level of HD video streaming experience.
The NComputing SuperRDP server pack is available through your reseller (SKU: SuperRDP-PREM-VC-P).
BROAD USB PERIPHERAL SUPPORT
With integrated transparent USB redirection, RX420(RDP) utilizes device drivers from the server side to provide extensive peripheral support including mass storage, smart card readers, audio devices, printers, imaging devices (e.g., webcams), serial devices, HID and custom devices (identified by Vendor ID and Product ID).
Enhanced single-touch and multi-touch screen support with built-in calibration tool are supported in native RDP connections.
Integrated PMC device management software makes deployment and management quick and easy.
The RX420(RDP) is easily configured using PMC Device Management software by NComputing. An admin can remotely manage RX420(RDP) devices over local and wide-area networks, including locations behind firewalls and NAT-routers through an easy-to-use, web-based user interface.
PMC comes with automatic discovery, check-in and configuration provisioning of new devices making deployment easy.
Administrators setup device profiles complete with all settings and configurations, then push the profile to individual or grouped devices. Only a few clicks are needed to schedule device firmware updates, access the summary dashboard or view the detailed event logging. Users are always up-to-date with the latest technology.
Flexible deployment through ethernet or Wi-Fi connections

The warranty for the RX420(RDP) is one year from the time of registration in the NComputing Management Portal. An optional extended hardware warranty is available and can be purchased through an NComputing reseller or via the NComputing Management Portal with a credit card or PayPal.
The extended warranty is only eligible for RX420(RDP) devices that are already under warranty and must be applied to a specific device. Once the extended warranty has been allocated to a device, it cannot be changed/removed.
Admins can log in to the NComputing Management Portal --> My Devices and click the ‘Serial No.’ of the device for the details. Automated email reminders will be sent approximately 30 days prior to the current device warranty expiration date.
Each RX420(RDP) device comes with a 1-year subscription to AMP for RX420(RDP). This allows the device to receive firmware updates applied locally or pushed from NComputing PMC Device Management Software. When AMP for RX420(RDP) expires the device can no longer receive firmware updates. Subscription to AMP for RX420(RDP) must be purchased and applied to the device in order to once again be able to push firmware updates from NComputing PMC Device Management Software.
AMP for RX420(RDP) is a software maintenance and support program provided by NComputing to allow RX420(RDP) devices to receive the latest firmware updates. Each device must have its own current AMP for RX420(RDP) license to continue to receive firmware updates.
There are multiple benefits that come with registering the RX420(RDP) device with the NComputing Management Portal:
The 1-year warranty is counted from the date of registration. If not registered, then the 1-year warranty is counted from the device manufacture date
Registration automatically enables management using the NComputing PMC Device Management Software.
Extended hardware warranty and extended AMP for RX420(RDP) software maintenance can only be applied to registered devices.
No. RX420(RDP) only support RDP protocol. vSpace Pro software uses NComputing’s proprietary UXP protocol which is not recognized by RX420(RDP).
No. Only the RX300 thin client can optionally boot into the Raspbian desktop mode.
RX420(RDP) firmware can be obtained from the NComputing software download page. During the first year (after registration) the firmware can be applied directly to the device (using FTP or web URL) or pushed from the NComputing PMC Device Management Software. After the first year the device can only receive firmware updated from NComputing PMC Device Management Software if the device has an active AMP for RX420(RDP) software maintenance update license.
