Key Release Details	Tera1	Tera2	Workstation	VDI
Auto Detect session connection type The Profiles > Session Configuration page contains a new Auto Detect connection type for zero clients that automatically detects which broker protocol a connection server is using so users in a mixed environment (e.g., one that uses View Connection Servers and PCoIP Connection Managers) do not have to manually reconfigure the session type each time they switch brokers.	✔	✔	✔	✔
Low Bandwidth Text Codec mode for TERA2321 zero clients The Profiles > Image Configuration page contains a new Low Bandwidth Text Codec mode for TERA2321 zero clients. This is a new compression method that provides improved bandwidth usage when encoding lossless data, such as text and background. It does not apply to lossy data, such as video.		✔	✔	✔
Enable Accelerated Monitor Emulation setting for Tera2 host cards The Profiles > Display Configuration page contains a new Enable Accelerated Monitor Emulation setting for Tera2 host cards. When enabled, this feature accelerates the delivery of EDID information to host systems that boot up very quickly (e.g., faster than five seconds), causing blank screens on the remote end. Typically, these are systems with solid-state drives (SSDs).		✔	✔
