Remote Sharing: TeamViewer vs. Zoom

**TeamViewer Model (Host-Controlled Sharing)**

```flow st⇒start: Host shares invite op1⇒operation: Guest joins session op2⇒operation: Host sees ALL guest screens op3⇒operation: Host takes control (if permitted) e⇒end: Session ends

st→op1→op2→op3→e

st⇒start: Host creates meeting op1⇒operation: Guest joins meeting op2⇒operation: Guest CHOOSES what to share op3⇒operation: Host sees only shared content e⇒end: Meeting ends

st→op1→op2→op3→e

Remote Dual-Screen Access (CA → TX)

Core Requirements

1. View both Texas PC screens simultaneously from California 2. No reliance on remote user interaction after setup 3. Sub-200ms latency for trading responsiveness 4. One-time or low recurring cost

Best Solution: **Parsec + Multi-Monitor Tools**

Low-latency professional solution

Setup: 1. On Texas PC (host):

  1. Install Parsec
  2. Enable “Hosting” in settings
  3. Configure `monitors.xml` to share all displays

2. On California PC (client):

  1. Install Parsec
  2. Connect via host's peer ID
  3. Use `Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M` to toggle monitor views

Performance:

Metric Value
—————–————————
Latency 80-150ms (CA→TX)
Bandwidth 10-25Mbps (dual 1080p)
Cost $10/month (Pro)

Alternative 1: **RustDesk (Self-Hosted)**

Free open-source TeamViewer alternative

1. Set up RustDesk server on AWS Texas VM 2. Configure `hbbr` (ID server) and `hbbs` (relay) 3. Connect directly via Texas IP (bypassing public relays)

Advantages: - Full control over encryption - 120-200ms latency - No subscription fees (only AWS VM costs)

Alternative 2: **Splashtop Business Access**

Optimized for financial use

1. Install Splashtop Streamer on Texas PC 2. Enable multi-monitor mode in settings 3. Access via California client (thumbnails or combined view)

Trading-Specific Features: - 256-bit AES encryption - File transfer without VPN - $8.25/month (billed annually)

Critical Comparison

Solution Simultaneous View Latency Max Resolution Cost
—————-——————-————————-—————
Parsec Pro ✅ (Independent) 80ms 4K $10/mo
RustDesk ✅ (Tiled) 120ms 1080p Free*
Splashtop ✅ (Thumbnails) 150ms 4K $99/yr

Recommendation: 1. Parsec for lowest latency and independent screen control 2. Splashtop for compliance-ready financial use 3. RustDesk if you have IT admin resources

Bandwidth Optimization

1. Set Texas PC to hardwired Ethernet (not WiFi) 2. Use HEVC encoding where available (30% bandwidth savings) 3. Limit FPS to 30 (trading doesn't need 60FPS)

Key Takeaways

1. For Lowest Latency:

  1. Parsec wins (80-150ms) with GPU-accelerated encoding.
  2. *Best for:* Real-time trading reactions.

2. For Budget-Conscious Users:

  1. RemotePC ($69.50/yr) beats LogMeIn on price.
  2. *But:* Higher latency (~200ms).

3. For Enterprise Features:

  1. LogMeIn offers centralized management (but at 5x the cost of alternatives).

4. For Compliance:

  1. Splashtop provides HIPAA/GDPR-ready plans.

Setup Requirements

All Solutions Need: - Texas PC:

  1. Dual monitors enabled in OS
  2. Static IP or DDNS for reliable access
  3. Wired Ethernet (WiFi adds 50+ms latency)

Bandwidth Optimization

1. Reduce Resolution:

  1. Set host PC to 1600×900 (cuts bandwidth by 30%).

2. Use Hardware Encoding:

  1. Enable NVENC (NVIDIA) or AMF (AMD) in client settings.

3. Throttle Background Apps:

  1. Prioritize remote traffic via QoS (router settings).

Recommendation

1. Try Parsec Free Tier first (test latency). 2. If Parsec isn’t compliant enough, use Splashtop. 3. Avoid LogMeIn unless you need its legacy enterprise tools.

Always test during market hours to simulate load
