Software for connecting remotely to a computer at home
I haven't used AnyDesk yet, but it's rumored to be very fast. It claims 60 FPS streaming with almost no delay (0-16 ms). Their internal tests seem really strong. Someone might want to give it a try and share their experience. The only issue right now is that it only works between Windows machines (other platforms are still in development).
those figures seem unusually high, the only way I can imagine achieving them would be with maximum CPU power and H264 encoding (such as Twitch livestreaming), which I’ve tried in similar situations using OBS for game broadcasts. It’s possible, but not practical because of heavy CPU load and blurring on fast-moving objects. EDIT: I should note that I tested this on an i3 540; corrected my calculation by a factor of 60. If these results are real, they could signal the next step in video streaming technology...
I discussed the AnyDesk numbers with my girlfriend, and she said they were taken from their butts. The word "impossible" made me think about what was happening on the screen during the bandwidth test.
A remote desktop application is accessible via Google Chrome. I attempted it once using an Android device and a Windows computer. It functioned properly, which is all I can confirm.
They mentioned in the benchmark that only whole frames are transferred, which means pixelation shouldn't be an issue. Remember they weren't recording a video stream but sending compressed images repeatedly for display. I planned to develop software at one point, and there are very efficient image compression methods available. You can simply try it out and observe its performance since it's essentially the fastest RDP on the market. The file size gets reduced to just 408 bytes, which is minimal and likely explains how they maintain such low latency with high frame rates.
I think if frame rate wasn't 60fps, you'd definitely give it a shot compressing a 1920x1080 picture to just 408 bytes while keeping good quality. And having it work with screen sections rather than the whole screen would save bandwidth. I can stream windowed games through TeamViewer, showing only what's changing instead of sending the entire image, which makes transmission faster.
