NComputing L400 thin client overview

NComputing L400 thin client overview

The L400 device is a next-generation thin client for vSpace Pro, succeeding the wildly popular L300 and L350 models. Visually, the L400 maintains the same construct as the earlier models but with updated connection ports, internals, and an expanded feature set.

The thin client is specifically designed and optimized for NComputing vSpace Pro servers and comes with a perpetual vSpace connection license. Built on the low-power quadcore ARM architecture platform, the L400 features full-screen, Quad-HD (2560x1440) multimedia playback, and transparent USB redirection; the virtualized PC experience is seamless.

The L400 unlocks two of the best advancements made in vSpace Pro over the years - vCAST Streaming and UXP Turbo. vCAST reduces server-side CPU usage when streaming media, both from sources like YouTube and local media content, all without requiring expensive GPUs. The results are smooth media streaming, lower network traffic, and reduced server CPU usage allowing for more concurrent users per server. UXP Turbo further enhances the desktop experience for 3D rendering, browser scrolling, video playback and multimedia-intensive applications that can take advantage of host systems with supported graphic cards.

The L400 supports transparent redirection of various USB peripheral devices, including mass storage devices, printers, smart card readers, headsets or speakers, webcams, signature pads and COM ports, in addition to the standard keyboard and mouse.

The L400 is easy to configure and automatically receives updates from vSpace Pro servers. vSpace Console, the device management portion of vSpace Pro, allows easy configuration and updates of devices. Manage and monitor your classrooms, sessions, and users in real time. With just a few clicks, administrators may define device setting templates and apply them to selected devices or hundreds at a time.

Subscribers to vSpace Pro AMP will also have access to PMC Endpoint Manager. This web-based tool can remotely manage NComputing thin clients over local and wide-area networks, including locations behind firewalls and NAT routers.

vspace pro client features

·       Support for vSpace Pro LTS Edition (version 11.3.12 and higher), vSpace Pro Enterprise Edition (version 12.7.4 and higher; vSpace AMP compliance required), and vSpace Pro Ads Edition (version 20.0.2 and higher)

·       Support display resolution up to QHD (2560x1440) with vSpace Pro Enterprise Edition, and up to Full HD (1920x1200) with vSpace Pro LTS and Ads Editions.

·       Support for the enhanced UXP Turbo protocol with H.264 delivering an enhanced desktop experience with PC-like performance for 3D rendering, browser scrolling, video playback, and multimedia-intensive applications. The UXP Turbo brings next-generation performance for vSpace Pro Enterprise servers running on Windows 10, Windows 11,  Windows Server 2022, or Windows Server 2025.

·       Support for vCAST Streaming, reducing server-side CPU usage when streaming media, both from sources like YouTube and local media content, all without requiring expensive GPUs. By offloading server CPU resources to the client side for direct rendering & playback, vCAST delivers smooth media streaming, reduces network bandwidth, lowers server CPU usage, and allows for more concurrent users per server.

·       Support for customized Server Groups to allow for prioritized and/or load balanced vSpace connections.

·       Support for Kiosk Mode with the ability to auto-logon and/or auto-start a predefined application.

·       Screensaver support during inactivity, and custom wallpaper support.

·       Built-in network diagnostics tools which can be utilized locally or remotely, in conjunction with PMC Endpoint Manager.

·       Support for peripheral devices:

o  USB webcams

o  USB printers

o  USB mass storage devices

o  Audio (HDMI, built-in analog, or USB)

o  USB smart card readers and security keys

o  USB-to-Serial adapters for serial ports

o  Multitouch monitors

o  Other USB devices through Generic USB redirection

·       Integrated VPN clients support including OpenVPN, OpenConnect, PPTP, IPSec (L2TP), IPSec (IKEv2) and FortiClient SSL VPN client.

·       Support for 802.1x Enterprise network security protocol, including EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-TLS.

·       Centralize management and express deployment with vSpace Console, an integrated device and session management solution in vSpace Pro. Optional PMC Endpoint Manager software (vSpace Pro AMP compliancy required) can be used to manage L400 devices over local and wide-area networks, including locations behind firewalls and NAT-routers through an easy-to-use, web-based user interface.

·       Remote device shadowing support via VNC or PMC Endpoint Manager.
