AFAIK the NAS protocol is build similar to the X11 protocol. So it
should supports extensions, but clients that don't need them should work
with servers that don't support these extensions.

The biggest problem would be the terminal itself I'd guess.
You need enough internal bandwidth for
a) receiving at that rate
b) redrawing a bitmap of size 640x480 at 29.97fps...

It might be ok if you go down with the resolution or you can live with
low fps...

Reminder: 640x480 at 29.97fps is 640*480*29.97*16bpp/8bit=17.982MB/s (at 16bit
color depth)
