Comparing Graphics Modes - Intelligent BTL vs. BTL vs. Always Lossless
The following table highlights the key differences between Intelligent BTL, BTL and Always Lossless:
| Feature | Intelligent Build to Lossless (Recommended) | Build to Lossless | Always Lossless |
|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Enabled by default, controlled via the Use video codec for compression policy on GPU-enabled VDAs | Visual Quality policy set to Build to Lossless | Visual Quality policy set to Always Lossless |
| Activation | Dynamic. Thinwire intelligently activates and deactivates based on screen content. | Always on for the entire session duration. | Always on for the entire session duration. |
| Scope | Per-monitor. Activates and deactivates in real time only on the monitor(s) where Build to Lossless is required. | Affects all monitors connected to the session, which may result in productivity apps e.g., e-mail being rendered in two passes. | Affects all monitors connected to the session. |
| Bandwidth consumption | Moderate to Low, depending on screen activity. | Moderate, depending on screen activity. | High. |
| Use cases | The default mode for all use cases on GPU-enabled VDAs. For VDAs without a GPU, Selective Encoding will be used, similar to VDAs before 2503. | Superseded by Intelligent Build to Lossless. Not recommended for new deployments with GPU-enabled VDAs. | Use cases where every single frame, including during motion, must be lossless. |
