Managing multi-function USB devices

In your environment, you might have USB devices that have several different functions, while still using a single USB connection. For example, a multimedia keyboard could have a touchpad mouse, speakers, a fingerprint reader, and the keyboard itself.

Horizon View supports a function known as device splitting. This allows you to just redirect certain components of that device rather than the entire device. With our multimedia example, you might want to leave the mouse as a local device on the endpoint, while redirecting the fingerprint reader to allow secure login to the virtual desktop.
