Global Distribution System Interface Update
RDP offers an interface to the Global Distribution System (GDS), so that when
a reservation is made on the GDS, either by a travel agent or by a guest via a
GDS travel website, it is automatically loaded into RDP. The information on this
page is designed to allow customers who have already purchased RDP's GDS
interface to download an update to the GDS Interface.
RDPSerial is the enhanced movie (or video check-out) interface.
Customers who have purchased enhanced movie interface and GDS install both
interfaces on the same workstation. Customers with only RDPSerial and not
GDS still need to get the latest update.
