RDP does not stream H264 -- RemoteFX needs a (v)GPU, so it is not the default. In fact you can go an peruse the local/persistent RDP cache and see it full of standard Windows GUI bitmaps.
- spijdar 5y agoMy point was that both RDP and VNC display the remote screen by sending bitmaps over the wire. You can view the contents of the RDP bitmap cache and see that, while some UI elements are being "intelligently" selected, it's largely rectangular chunks of the screen, not unlike VNC.
- AshamedCaptain 5y agoBoth can send bitmaps, but RDP can and does send graphics (and even text!) rendering commands. You can even influence how text is antialiased on the client. And even "dumb" VNC benefits from having more specific damage (as in, "areas of the screen that changed") than just a generic "all the screen changed, here's the new framebuffer, go figure it out".
