Session experience

A Reemo session carries more than an image: it reproduces the display, the sound, and the peripherals as if the user were sitting at the machine. This page summarizes what a session supports; each setting is detailed in the toolbar and the remote experience settings.

Display

  • Multiple screens: the session handles one or more remote displays, spread across your local screens (automatic or manual placement, splitscreen mode). The Match my screens option sets a 1:1 mapping with your workstation.

  • Virtual displays: up to 5 virtual displays can be added, even with no physical screen on the remote side (Reemo Virtual Monitor driver on Windows, native on macOS, free outputs or the EVDI module on Linux).

  • Resolution, refresh rate, orientation, zoom: adjustable per display.

  • Video codecs: AVC (H264) and HEVC (H265), in 4:2:0 or 4:4:4 chroma (4:4:4 keeps text crisp with no color degradation). Reemo automatically falls back to a compatible codec if the hardware or the browser cannot keep up.

  • Color depth and HDR: 8 or 10 bits, with HDR10 video support.

  • Smoothness: a limit of 30, 60, or 120 FPS, a smoothness or quality priority, and adjustable bandwidth (automatic by default).

Sound, mic, and camera

The audio stream flows both ways. A virtual microphone and webcam can be presented to remote applications — for example for a video call from within the session — through dedicated drivers depending on the system: virtual sound card and microphone on Windows, Reemo Microphone and Reemo Camera on macOS, v4l2loopback on Linux.

USB peripherals

Reemo redirects USB peripherals from the local machine to the remote one, using the USB Companion (installed locally) and a virtual USB driver (on the remote side). Redirection targets HID devices: graphic tablets (Wacom, Cintiq…), controllers, remotes, cryptographic and security keys. Real-time audio and video streams do not go through this channel (see Sound, mic, and camera).

Composite (replacing a KVM)

A composite aggregates the screens of several source computers into a single resource that behaves like a workstation. It replaces a physical KVM switch — for example showing a video feed and a monitoring feed side by side. A composite gathers up to 9 sources; the cluster mode unlocks all the gathered machines in one action.

Collaboration

Several users can share the same session. The connected users list shows the participants and lets you cut their keyboard and mouse access, or disconnect them. An organization can enforce a confirmation when a second user joins a session.

Clients

A session opens from a browser, with nothing to install on the user side, or from the Reemo Thin Client. On a touch device, the toolbar adapts its controls (virtual keyboard, gesture help).

Clipboard, printing, and files

The session also supports the clipboard, printing, and file transfer between the local machine and the resource. Each can be restricted by the organization for regulated environments.
