Compression

This policy setting is used for setting image compression rate during its transfer to the agent side.
The following compression modes are used:
"Disable" - image compression is disabled;
"Lossless" - lossless(zlib) compresison is used without loss of image quality;
"JPEG" - JPEG compression is used with loss of quality. The level of image quality is specified in the "JPEG compression quality" field.

If this policy setting is enabled, the compression mode for the user will be set by this policy setting.

If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, the "JPEG" compression mode will be used.

The user has the possibility to change the compression mode at any time via the settings interface, even if the policy setting is enabled.
