Note: MMR is now completely removed from RDP 10 given that RemoteFX Media Streaming works for all types of video content whereas MMR which just worked for some. RemoteFX Media Streaming replaced Multi Media Redirection (MMR). Which uses AVC/H.264 to remote video content detected on the server. The benefit of this codec is that it is widely available in hardware so that CPU intensive encoding and decoding can be offloaded to a separate hardware block. The graphics compression (codec) standard which has been used by RDP for a couple of releases is the ITU-T H.264 codec (also known as MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding)). Which enables support for additional high-end engineering design applications that use OpenGL. We now enable OpenGL applications with RemoteFX vGPU scenarios

For example, with Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview In addition, the demand for rich and fluent graphics experience in remoting scenarios increased due to more graphics intensive applications being used. The increase in resolution sizes present a challenge for graphics remoting protocols as there are more pixels which need to be encoded on the server and more bandwidth is required to transfer these encoded pixels over the network. Monitor resolutions continue to significantly increase today larger resolutions such as 1440p and 4K are common. But first, let me provide some background and a brief history on why we made these improvements. I am writing you today to let you know about the graphics remoting enhancements we made to the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) version 10 which shipped with the Hello Everyone, this is Jeroen van Eesteren from the Remote Desktop team.
