If you have selected Auto Start Application or Auto Start Desktop, select the Enumeration button to retrieve a list of resources (applications or desktops) and display them in Citrix Connection Manager, which enables you to select resources to start automatically upon connection. If you have selected Auto Start Single Resource, select the Enumeration button to retrieve the number of resources. If there is only one resource, it is started automatically upon connection. With this option selected, remote resources from the connection will be shown on the local ThinPro desktop. With this option selected, remote resources from the connection will be shown on the local ThinPro taskbar. If selected, only subscribed resources are shown during a Citrix connection. Advanced NOTE: See Advanced connection settings on page 8 for information about the settings available under the Advanced category when editing a connection. HP True Graphics HP True Graphics offloads rich multimedia content to the GPU, delivering high-frame-rate images and boosting efficiency. HP True Graphics requires one of the following Citrix environments: ● Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7 or newer ● Citrix HDX 3D Pro (not running in Always Lossless mode) HP True Graphics server-side requirements XenApp/XenDesktop The Citrix server must support sending session data in H.264 format. H.264 is enabled by default and is processed using the DeepCompressionV2 encoder, a CPU-based compression algorithm. Only full desktops or non-seamless applications are currently accelerated when using HP True Graphics. Hosted remote applications running in seamless windows do not see benefits from HP True Graphics. See HP 14 Chapter 4 Connection types
