DS2
The recommended PC specication for viewing
images over a network is:
• Pentium IV, 1.8GHz processor.
• 256MB RAM.
• 8MB of Video RAM.
• 16 Bit sound card for audio support
• 1024 x 768 x 32bit colour monitor (min).
• 10/100Mbit Ethernet half duplex network
interface card.
• Windows 2000, Windows XP.
• Internet Explorer 6 / Netscape Navigator 7
Although the system will operate on lower
specication computers this standard will provide high
performance video quality and update rates. If lower
specication processors are used this will affect the
overall performance of the computer.
