[Eibach, Dirk]

Hi Frediano,

thanks for having a look into this.

Maybe, thanks. I will have a closer look. We are on windows though.

Long story. We have a Windows base robot controller that will be Linux based in the next controller generation. The controller is rendering the GUI and it is transferred from the Display-Port output to the operator panel with a proprietary hardware over fiber.
Now we are designing a new operator panel that should display the GUI and get it from the controller with a remote desktop protocol. For our prototype we are using VNC and it works alright but the performance is limited. There is also no option to connect USB-drives from the ope rator panel to the controller via VNC.
RDP might work, but a  showstopper is, that the local console gets locked. We are using the local console to connect a second display.
Spice looks extremely promising because it is really cross platform, has no local console lock, offer USB forwarding and seems to perform nicely.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards
Dirk Eibach
