No viewer, no upload: remote desktop that goes quiet when nobody watches
When the technician closes the tab or loses the connection, the remote computer stops capturing and sending at once. The picture comes back whole when they return, and an abandoned session ends by itself after 3 minutes.
Nobody watching means nothing sent
The relay tells the agent how many people are watching each time someone leaves. At zero, the agent stops capturing the screen, so no frames are encoded or uploaded and the remote computer's CPU goes idle.
Instant repaint on return
When a viewer reconnects within the grace period, the agent sends one full keyframe and carries on — no stale or half-drawn picture.
Abandoned sessions end themselves
If nobody comes back within 3 minutes, the agent ends the session and gives the computer back: resolution, privacy screen, local input and wallpaper are restored.
On top of the 150 kbps engine
While someone is watching, the SXTL1 codec sends only changed tiles, from about 150 kbps on the Ultra-Low profile, with a lossless settle pass so text stays sharp.
Frequently asked questions
Does a remote desktop session use data when nobody is looking at it?
With Silux Connect, no. The agent stops capturing and sending when no viewer is connected and ends the session after 3 minutes alone.
Is this good for metered, satellite or 4G connections?
Yes. Combined with the ~150 kbps Ultra-Low profile, an idle or forgotten session costs the remote site nothing.
