Chapter 9. High Definition Experience (HDX™)

High definition experience (HDX) is a set of capabilities that delivers a high definition user experience. Around the time Citrix started to dig in its heels on protecting the intellectual property around the ICA protocol, it also figured out that there are other valuable features that can be used along with the ICA protocol. Whether you want to name these features HDX features or VDI features is a whole different topic of discussion. Either way, you are likely to come across the HDX feature set at some point during your implementation of VDI. HDX technology provides an extension to the ICA protocol by providing a set of unique, high definition experience features for the end user on a variety of devices.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • HDX

  • Windows Aero

  • Windows Media and Flash

  • HDX 3D

  • How to configure HDX
