Extron Electronics JPEG 2000 Encoder - Manual (Page 7)

System Requirements
Ensure that the system hardware to be used meets or exceeds the minimum requirements
listed below. Encoding performance improves when a system more powerful than the
minimum listed here is incorporated.
NOTES: • The encoding computers must be network capable.
• It is recommended that the application be used on a computer with superior
processing capacity, speed, and memory to reduce encoding time since the
process can take hours (or days), depending on the length of the video.
Minimum system requirements:
z Intel ® Pentium ® 4, 2.8 Ghz (1 core)
z 2 GB RAM
z Windows XP SP3
z Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
z 1 GB of available hard disk space on the system drive
5 GB or more is recommended on the installation drive and 20 percent free space on the
media drive (see the note below) for encoding temporary files (this value depends on
encoder compression rate).
NOTE: The Media drive is the hard disk drive on the local computer reserved for
DCP output.
z Typical encoding performance: 0.2 frames per second
Recommended system:
z Intel ® Core™ i5, 3.4 Ghz (2 cores, 4 threads) or better
z 4 GB RAM
z Windows 7 64-bit
z Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
z 1 GB of available hard disk space on the system drive
5 GB or more is recommended on the installation drive and 20 percent free space on the
media drive (see the note below) for encoding temporary files (this value depends on
encoder compression rate).
NOTE: The Media drive is the hard disk drive on the local computer reserved for
DCP output.
z Typical encoding performance: 6.0 frames per second
NOTE: It is recommended that a monitor supporting the encoded resolution and
frame rate be used. This is beneficial for production and quality control after
encoding.
