2. Hardware Recommendations
The XTAccess software is installed on a workstation operating under Windows XP,
Windows 2003 Server, windows Seven 32 bit, windows Seven 64 bit or Windows Server
2008 SP2 64 bit. With the 64 bit OS, XTAccess runs as a 32 bit application.
The minimum system requirements are:
• Workstation or Laptop
• CPU Pentium P4, 2.0 GHz +
• 512 MB RAM (2GB for the rendering of playlist and transcoding jobs)
• GigE board with Jumbo Frame capabilities
• VGA 1024x768
The XTAccess software runs either on EVS workstations like IPDirector, XFile, XStore, or
on any standalone third-party workstation.
Important
Jobs like transcoding, backup of clips or trains, restore/copy of files to EVS
Server use CPU resources on the device where XTAccess runs. It is then
advised not to run any other critical application simultaneously on the
XTAccess device, especially when the Xedio Suite or IPDirector are installed
as standalone systems with a local database.
