How to use HyperCam 3 under Citrix XenApp environment
HyperCam 3 encodes client’s desktop content and compresses it on the PC where the application is launched. To avoid transmitting huge data over a network, Citrix XenApp environment should be set so that HyperCam 3 is started on client’s PC. That is, HyperCam 3 should be configured as a streamed application.
For example, we use Citrix XenApp 6.5 and HyperCam 3.6.1507.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (as a server) and Windows 7 SP1 x64 (as a client PC).
1. Create a new profile in the Streaming Profiler on a client PC (Picture 1), set its name as HyperCam3Streamed (Picture 2), set target OS and language (Picture 3).

10. On a client PC, install Citrix Receiver Enterprise and Citrix Offline Plugin. The Receiver should be installed with the “LEGACYFTAICONS” option e.g.:
|
CitrixReceiverEnterprise.exe /includeSSON /ENABLE_SSON=Yes STORE0="Appstorename;http://server.url/storename/PNAgent/config.xml;on;Apps on XenApp" /LEGACYFTAICONS=True |
11. Login in Citrix Receiver.
"HyperCam 3 Streamed" and "HyperCam Media Editor" can be launched from the Desktop. The applications will use codecs installed on the client PC.
