- HDX Plug-n-Play for Windows portable USB devices – Enables users to connect Microsoft Windows portable USB devices – such as point-of-sale devices, Webcams, scanners and digitial cameras – to their PC and automatically maps them to their server-hosted application session to preserve the user experience that users would have when using these devices on their local PC with installed applications.
