Parsec also provides a paid "Parsec for Teams" version with additional features for artists and developers, such as additional administrative tools, better color accuracy and the ability to stream multiple screens at once.
Parsec Warp adds additional settings, visual enhancements and more controls. The 4:4:4 mode makes colors sharper and crisper. Pen and tablet support has been added as well as the option to have extra displays.
