So both encrypted VNC or RDP variants are candidates. It doesn't sound
like VNC because you'd expect a series of small messages first - key
negotiation.

or if they are using standard RDP code from Windows likewise.

There are probably more samples of that in the Linux kernel. Lots of
device firmware downloads are of them form

[offset] [some fixed number of bytes] [checksum]

Do you know what chip is in the device ?
