Abstract
A method and apparatus for scalable buffer remote access is provided. Scalable buffer remote access may include generating, at a client device, a scalable display buffer request indicating a portion of a display area of an operating environment of a host device and a scaling factor ratio, transmitting the scalable display buffer request to the host device, receiving rendered content including a scaled rendering of a representation of the portion of the display area of the host device, presenting a client display window including the rendered content as a window into the display area of the operating environment of the host device, receiving a zoom indication, and presenting an updated client display window based on the rendered content and the zoom indication or based on updated rendered content received from the host device.
