2. How to enable ICA SuperCodec on XenDesktop 7.9 ?
   Under Citrix Policy, Use video codec for compression needs to be configured to enable ICA SuperCodec on both non-HDX 3D Pro desktop (standard VDA) and HDX 3D Pro desktop (VDA for HDX 3D Pro).

   By default, Use video codec when preferred is selected. Then ICA SuperCodec is enabled on HDX 3D Pro Desktop only, but disabled on non-HDX 3D Pro desktop. If you select Do not use video codec, ICA SuperCodec is disabled on both HDX 3D Pro desktop and non-HDX 3D Pro desktop. 

   Although ICA SuperCodec is disabled on non-HDX 3D Pro Desktop, if you set Use video codec when preferred or Do not use video codec, OR disabled on HDX 3D Pro Desktop if you set Do not use video codec, ThinOS may still print log ICA: SuperCodec enabled, and this is a known issue.

   If you select Use video codec when available, ICA SuperCodec is enabled for both HDX 3D Pro desktop and non-HDX 3D Pro desktop.

   NOTE:In XenDesktop 7.15, Citrix has introduced new names and options for this policy. With the default settings (the new Selective Adaptive Display version 2), ThinOS does not use the SuperCodec unless you enable the Video Compression Codec to be used for the entire screen.
