Redirected Video Components

This section describes the redirected video components used in the server. The kernel mode
components of redirected video include software that runs on the IOP and on the CE.
Software Running on the IOPs
• MtcVidP.sys — the Video Provider
• MtcVideo.exe — the CE Desktop application
The Video Provider on each IOP communicates with the Video Redirector. It receives
information from the Video Redirector that is used for displaying the CE video on both IOPs.
If one CE stops functioning, CE Desktop windows can be displayed on both IOP, due to the
redundancy in the system.
Software Running on the CEs
• MtcVidR.sys — the Video Miniport Driver and Redirector
• MtcVidD.sys — the Video Display Driver
• MtcCEtray.exe — the CE tray icon executable
The Video Redirector communicates with the Video Provider and is responsible for redirecting
the video display from the CE to the IOPs.

CE Video Drivers

When the Video Redirector and Display Driver are loaded, they disable the CE video adapter.
You cannot disable the video drivers or substitute other drivers.
CE and IOP Video Modes
It is not necessary to have the display resolution of the CE Desktop area and that of the IOP
desktop area match each other.
Not only can the video displays of the CE desktop and IOP desktop be different from each other,
but you can run the two IOP video displays in different modes.
