Primary Windows Machine (network display server)

The spacedesk server runs a Windows service and the WDDM Display Driver which is visible to Windows just as an own separate virtual graphics adapter (Windows 10/11) or as additional virtual display monitors on the primary graphics adapter (Windows 8.1). 

These additional virtual displays can mirror the main screen or extend the Windows Desktop. 

spacedesk DRIVER software is capturing their screen content, compressing it and transmitting it over the LAN (Local Area Network) to the spacedesk VIEWERs.
