System Requirements

Recommended VT[4] System Configuration*

Processor Intel:
	Processor Intel: Single Intel P4 520 (2.8 GHz), or Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz or faster (Dual CPU systems are strongly recommended)
Processor AMD:
	Dual AMD Opteron 240 Minimum
Interface:
	A free 66MHz PCI slot for the VT[4] card for best performance (33MHz-compatible but with reduced performance) (Additional slot needed for breakout cable)
Graphics Card:
	PCI Express or AGP-based graphics card NVidia or ATI graphics chipset Minimum 64MB onboard RAM, 128MB recommended Full Open OpenGL and DirectX 9.0 support Latest drivers from chipset manufacturer Capable of 1280x1024 minimum screen resolution
System RAM:
	512MB RAM minimum, 1GB recommended
Hard Drives:
	UDMA IDE system drive with 600Mb of free disk space is required for program installation. 16 GB space is required for installation of DVEs and content. Video Stripe Set: Four 10,000 RPM Ultra 160 or 320 SCSI hard drives or three 15,000 RPM Ultra 160 or 320 hard drives. SCSI Controller for Video Stripe Set on the 64bit PCI interface: Adaptec 19160, 29160, 39160, 29320, 39320 Ultra 160 or 320 SCSI cards DV Capture and Switching: any IEEE1394 Firewire card NewTek does not recommend use of IDE video drives. This includes the new SATA (serial ATA hard drives). Hard drives used for video storage and retrieval should be striped in Windows. Hardware RAID cards push data in burst speeds which are not appropriate for video editing. The sustained speed attained by Ultra 160 and 320 SCSI set up in standard Windows stripe-sets is what is needed for dependable video recording and playback.
Operating System:
	Windows 2000 (SP2 or better) or XP Professional (SP1 or better)
Software:
	Windows Media Player 9 or higher Windows Media Encoder 9
Drivers:
	Direct X 9.0b or higher (9.0b is installed by the VT[4] Installer) Latest graphics card drivers (You may obtain these from the manufacturer)

*NewTek recommends the optimal system configuration. Systems of lesser processor and drive speed will work with VT[4] but some complex functions may not perform in real-time.
