    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.
