Minimum system requirements
Operating System
Mac OS X™ 10.2.7 or newer. QuickTime 6.3 or newer. We currently recommend
QuickTime™ 6.5.1 with Mac OS X™ 10.3.4.
[Mac OS X™ Server and Mac OS 9™ are not supported]
Processor
• Dual processor PowerMac G5/1.8 GHz, or faster, with PCI-X slots. The G5
must have dual processors even if a faster processor is used.
• The fastest system you can afford is always a good idea and we highly
recommend the dual processor G5’s which are fantastic for HD work.
PCI slots
High Denition DeckLink cards require PCI-X slots to perform both HD and SD
work. Either the 133 or 100 MHz slots can be used but the 133 MHz slot is
preferable. See page 8 for detailed installation instructions.
Memory
• 1.5 GB of RAM or more.
Disk Arrays
• SCSI - Ultra 320 SCSI card, with at least 8 x U320 SCSI disks, 10 000 rpm,
software striped as RAID [0], OR;
• 2GB Fibre Channel
