Terminology
In the table above, the following terminology is intended to be used to describe some important features:
- Audio Support: the remote control software transfers audio signals across the network and plays the audio through the speakers attached to the local computer. For example, music playback software normally sends audio signals to the locally-attached speakers, via some sound controller hardware. If the remote control software package supports audio transfer, the playback software can run on the remote computer, while the music can be heard from the local computer, as though the software were running locally.
- File Transfer: the software allows the user to transfer files between the local and remote computers, from within the client program's user interface.
