NICE DCV is a high-performance remote display protocol that helps customers securely access remote desktop or application sessions, including 3D graphics applications hosted on servers with high-performance GPUs.

We are pleased to announce the release of NICE DCV version 2021.1 with the following new features:

  • Accurate audio/video sync - This feature reduces the delay between the audio and video streams. Customers can now perform workloads, such as audio or video editing, that require more accurate audio and video alignment.
  • Stereo 2.0 audio recording for Linux server - DCV can capture stereo audio input from client. With this addition, DCV supports stereo audio input for both Windows and Linux servers.
  • NICE DCV Session Manager improvements - Customers can now use the DCV Session Manager to execute any script with arguments when starting a virtual session on Linux. For example, users can use this feature to open a specific project file or application at session startup. In addition, users can specify more complex placement requirements when creating a new session. These requirements can now include characteristics and load of the targeted server node.

NICE DCV is free to use on Amazon EC2 instances and is the remote display protocol used by Amazon Appstream 2.0, AWS RoboMaker, and Amazon Nimble Studios.
