VYRAY NOW / REMOTE ACCESS

Your computer.
Within reach.

Work with your apps and files from another computer. One application, on both sides of the connection.

Windows · Linux · macOS

One desktop divided into different-sized tiles, with lifted text and interface fragments and a mountain-lake video region.

Your computer. You provide the machine or cloud workspace.

Your applications. They run on that remote computer.

One app. Install Vyray Now on both computers to connect.

IMAGE PROCESSING / oblik

Different content.
Different treatment.

A desktop mixes precise text, repeated interface elements and moving images. Vyray Now chooses how to encode each region instead of treating every part of the screen alike.

How image processing works

Keep the fine detail.

oblik uses lossless encoding for text and precise detail, and lossy encoding where appropriate.

Reuse what stays the same.

Repeated tiles can be reused, avoiding the need to send the same image content again.

Let motion move.

Adaptive streaming handles video and game regions alongside oblik in the same session.

EVERYDAY WORK

The small things
that keep work moving.

A useful remote desktop goes beyond seeing the screen. Keep your workflow connected across computers.

Files, in both directions.

Move files between computers with file transfer and supported drag-and-drop workflows.

File transfer

Copy here. Paste there.

Share the clipboard in both directions. Available formats depend on the systems on each side.

Shared clipboard

Room for your workspace.

Work across multiple remote displays. Check support for your monitor layout, resolution and scaling.

CAMERA, MICROPHONE & SOUND

Feel part of
the conversation.

Your camera, voice and sound.
Together in the remote session.

A woman with a webcam and microphone in daylight and a man wearing headphones in an evening room appear to share one curving table. A small illustrative call window connects their spaces.

Bring your local camera and microphone into the remote session, and hear sound from the remote computer. Camera redirection is separate from USB forwarding.

CONTENT REDIRECTION

A more direct path
for video.

Supported media.
A shorter route to local playback.

A blue and orange wingsuit pilot glides above a deep Norwegian fjord. A winding road descends the green granite slope, with its foreground contours continuing into pencil.

Supported media can be sent for local playback without an extra decode-and-re-encode cycle on the remote computer. Availability depends on the browser integration and media format.

NETWORK ADAPTATION

A connection
that adapts.

Changing conditions.
An adaptive connection.

A helmeted motorcyclist moves through slow evening traffic beside a river. Blue night light and warm street lamps reflect on wet asphalt, while the pavement continues into graphite.

Bandwidth changes. Packets get lost. Latency varies. Vyray Now adapts transmission to the connection; the quality of that connection still matters.

Understand network requirements

PERIPHERALS

Your tools.
Still yours.

Draw. Print. Play.
Bring your familiar tools.

A hand draws a blue and orange bird with a stylus on a pen display. Graphite lines become color; a printer produces the same illustration, while a gamepad and a small driving scene sit in the background.
Pen input, printing and game control illustrate possible workflows. Check support for your device.

Draw, print and work with familiar input devices. Supported peripherals can be brought into your remote session; device class, drivers and operating systems determine compatibility.

ACCESS CONTROL

Your space.
Your say.

Review who is requesting access and choose the permissions for the session. Screen viewing, input, files and clipboard are distinct parts of that decision.

CONNECTION ROUTES

Two ways.
One destination.

Connect directly.
Or let a relay carry the session.

A chairlift and a snowmobile carrying a driver and passenger ascend to the same mountain station. The chairlift illustrates a direct connection; the snowmobile represents a relay carrying the session.

Direct

Via relay

Connect directly when the network allows it, or through a relay when a direct route is unavailable. Both routes lead to the same remote computer.

GET STARTED

One app.
Both sides.

Your workspace stays there.
You connect from here.

Hands hold an unfolded book-style device in a sunlit garden arcade. It and the laptop on the ledge show the same document, code editor and files: an illustration of different ways to access a workspace.
