Sanzu is a graphical remote desktop solution. It is composed of:

• a server running on Unix or Windows which can stream a X11 or a Windows GUI environment (for now the Unix version is more advanced)
• a client running on Unix or Windows which can read this stream and interact with the GUI environment

It uses modern video codecs like h264/h265 to offer a good image quality and limit its bandwidth consumption. Video compression is done through FFmpeg which allows the use of graphic cards or full featured CPU to achieve fast video compression at low latency. It also allows the use of yuv420 or yuv444 for better graphical details.

• Practice : How to setup a sanzu broker which spawns a new X server when a new sanzu client connects to the sanzu broker
• Presentation : Remote Browsing with Sanzu

Requirement :

• A laptop (or a virtual machine) to install the sanzu client on it
• One virtual machine running Linux to use as a server for Sanzu
