Video Capture: System Set Up for Best Capture & Playback
SYSTEM SETUP FOR BEST VIDEO CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK PERFORMANCE
The video capture and playback performance of a system is based on the
type and speed of the components that make up the system. The faster
the microprocessor, the video card, the controller and the hard drive,
the better the video capture and playback performance will be.
The following types of system components are recommended for best video
capture and playback:
System Bus: PCI or VESA Local Bus systems that can use 32-bit PCI or
VESA Local Bus add-in boards
Processor: Intel486DX-50 or Intel486DX2-66, Pentium 60 or 90Mhz
Video Card: PCI or VESA Local Bus accelerated video cards that speed
up Windows performance
Controller: PCI or VESA Local bus SCSI or enhanced IDE hard drive
controllers
Hard Drive: SCSI or enhanced IDE hard drives with fast access speeds
and sustainable data rates
Ram: 32 MB
Video Drivers: Minimum 640x480x256-colors
Note: A Windows compatible sound board is recommended for capture
and playback PCs.

processor-based PC see document 8001 (The Pentium Processor PC: The
