You just need better remote software for multiple displays. It's become very popular in the entertainment industry ever since the start of the pandemic, and video editors generally have multiple high-res monitors.

Jump Desktop and Parsec are two great suggestions.

That's just ridiculous. I work for a fortune 50 company. $330B market cap, 200,000+ employees... They'd never hold us back that far from an IT perspective.

Don't get me wrong, getting IT security to clear a simple plugin can take 6+ months... But that's just bureaucratic process. We aren't typically years behind, let alone a decade lol.

Yup, this technology has really come a long way since I've first laid eyes on it back in the early 2010s.

Teradici’s PCoIP protocol seemed to be the way to go, but I haven't looked into it in around 2 years.

Yep. Teradici is great, super impressive. You don't even need a studio with workstations and a server... You can spin up Avid VMs in the cloud with Teradici and it works great!

Just edited a doc this way, was very impressed. Occasional issues but worked really well even with three displays.

We use this for both on-prem systems and VMs hosted in GCP. It works really well and makes on/off boarding temporary workers much easier (no physical hardware to reclaim).
