The minimum capability of the computer
required for the capture card itself is fairly
low. It is typically the application being used
with the capture card that sets the minimum
requirements of the computer. For example,
pure video capture applications typically do
not require hefty machines. Yet the various
streaming encoding applications, for example
RealProducer or Windows Media Encoder, may
require up to dual 2 GHz processor for some of
their challenging encoding profiles.
For x86 PCs, the minimum system requirements
are as follows:
• 300 MHz Pentium II processor or higher
with at least 128Mb RAM
• One available PCI slot
• Windows XP
• Approximately 7.5 megabytes of storage
for system files
For optimum performance, we recommend at
least the following additional features.
• Video display adapter with 4 MBytes
memory minimum (16 Mbytes or more
recommended) and Direct Draw capability
• An up-to-date display device with
DirectDraw capability
• DirectX version 9.0a or later
Minimum System Requirements for DV Editing
When using the Osprey 300 1394 ports with
video editing applications such as Adobe
Premiere Pro, the host PC must meet the
following minimum system requirements :
• Intel Pentium III 500MHz or faster
• Microsoft XP, XP Pro, or later operating
system
• UDMA 66 IDE or SCSI hard disk disk array
• 256MB or more of system RAM
• Microsoft DirectX 8.0 or newer
• Sound card capable of 16-bit stereo or
higher
The Osprey 300 FireWire ports use
the 1394 driver stack included in
all versions of Microsoft Windows
XP or later operating systems. ViewCast
does not install these drivers as part of the
Osprey 300 installation process. The analog
video capture portion of the Osprey 300
uses drivers supplied by ViewCast. Use of
this card in operating systems older than
Windows XP may restrict the user to the
analog inputs only.
