High-speed, 3D-friendly, TightVNC-compatible remote desktop software - TurboVNC
Published Date: 2024-04-08
TurboVNC is a free and open-source remote desktop application that lets you control and access a computer from anywhere in the world. It is compatible with multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. You can use TurboVNC to access files, run programs, or provide technical support remotely. The application is easy to set up and use, making it a great choice for both personal and business use.
TurboVNC uses the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) protocol to establish a secure connection between the client and server computers. This ensures that all data transmitted between the two computers is encrypted and protected from eavesdropping. TurboVNC also supports a variety of authentication methods, including password, SSH keys, and X.509 certificates to secure the remote access. Additionally, TurboVNC offers advanced features such as file transfer, clipboard sharing, and remote printing, providing a comprehensive remote desktop solution.
TurboVNC : TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC.
