About vLinx

Virtualinx Inc. operates as a remote presentation technology firm, concentrating on solutions for the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Digital Signage markets. The company was founded by Krishna Malladi, who serves as President and CEO, and Anup Mehta, who is a board member. Krishna is a technologist with over two decades of experience in video, voice, and wireless solution development. His background includes architecting video solutions for Microsoft's RemoteFX group, a role he took on after Microsoft acquired Calista Technologies, where he had designed a custom video codec for VDI applications.

The core of Virtualinx's business is its patented video compression technology, which is engineered for low bandwidth consumption while maintaining high-quality output. This technology is offered as a software solution that can run on standard ARM and x86 processors, and GPUs, and can also be integrated into System-on-Chips (SoCs). The company's business model centers on providing these specialized software and integration solutions to clients in the VDI and wireless display sectors. The client base would typically include enterprises looking to implement or enhance remote desktop capabilities and companies in the digital advertising and information display space.

The flagship product is the vLinx display protocol, designed specifically for VDI and Digital Signage. A key selling point of vLinx is its codec-agnostic nature, allowing it to function seamlessly with standard video codecs like H.264, VP9, and HEVC. This adaptability future-proofs the solution against new codec developments. Furthermore, vLinx enables the use of existing hardware chipsets found in common consumer devices such as Roku, Chromecast, and various Smart TVs, which can function as remote clients. Other products include 'DisplayVM', a low-latency video compression solution for VDI over Wide Area Networks (WAN), and 'DisplayScreen', a wireless display solution for applications like cable-less HDMI or wireless monitors.
