• Kernel Memory: Nonpaged: Dialogic
®
HMP Software uses this space for allocating
memory for its resources. Nonpaged memory requirements do not include the

Dialogic
®
HMP Software requires above 200 MB of non-paged memory or system
performance may show degradation or failure (Dialogic

Note: Under Windows
®
7 and later, the non-paged memory limit has been
increased due to optimizations by Microsoft.
• Disk Space: 500 MB of disk space is required for full installation of Dialogic

PCM format)
– 160 KB required for 10 seconds of video at maximum of 128 kbps bit rate
