System Requirements

Windows - Macintosh - Linux

Windows
For On-Demand RealAudio or RealVideo:

	Minimum	Recommended
Operating Systems	Windows 95/98/NT 4.x	Windows 95/98/NT 4.x
Processor	Any Pentium class machine	Any Pentium class machine
Memory	16 MB RAM	32 MB RAM
Sound Card	Any SoundBlaster compatible	SoundBlaster AWE 32
Video Card*	Video For Windows compatible card	Video For Windows compatible card

*Video card is required for video capture. Not required for existing .avi, .mov, .mpg files. Low bandwidth video compression also works with USB and parallel port devices. Capture device must be able to create .avi, .mov, .mpg files. Not all boards work for live capture.

For RealTime compression of RealAudio or live audio Web broadcast:

	Minimum	Recommended
Operating Systems	Windows 95/98/NT 4.x	Windows 95/98/NT 4.x
Processor	Pentium 133 MHz	Pentium 200 MHz
Memory	8MB RAM	32MB RAM
Sound Card	Any SoundBlaster compatible	SoundBlaster AWE 32
Network Connection	Direct IP connection to RealServer G2	Direct IP connection to RealServer G2

For RealTime compression of RealVideo or live Web broadcast:

	Minimum	Recommended
Operating Systems	Windows 95/98/NT 4.x	Windows 95/98/NT 4.x
Processor	Pentium 200 MHz	Pentium 400 MHz
Memory	16MB RAM	48MB RAM
Sound Card	Any SoundBlaster compatible	SoundBlaster AWE 32
Video Card*	Any Video For Windows compatible card	Any Video For Windows compatible card

Macintosh
For compression of RealAudio or RealVideo:

	Minimum	Recommended
Operating Systems	MacOS 8.1	MacOS 8.5
Processor	PowerPC	G3 266 MHz or faster
Memory	32MB RAM	64MB RAM

This Macintosh implementation supports:

• Compressed QuickTime files (requires QuickTime 3.0 or higher).
• RealProducer G2 and RealProducer Plus G2 for Macintosh require RealPlayer G2.
• RealProducer G2 and RealProducer Plus G2 for Macintosh do not support live broadcasting (but do support live capture).

Linux for Intel architecture machines
For compression of RealAudio or RealVideo:

	Minimum	Recommended
Audio	Pentium 120 MHz with 32MB RAM	Pentium 200 MHz with 64MB RAM
Video	Pentium II 200 MHz with 64MB	Pentium II 400 MHz with 96MB

This Unix implementation supports:

• Live audio and video encoding from multiple capture devices
• Audio file encoding (.au and .wav)
• Video file encoding (24 or 32 bit uncompressed Quicktime)

Minimum system requirements:

• Linux 2.0.x or Linux 2.2 with video4linux1 bttv drivers compiled for video capture (Linux 2.2.x is recommended)
• BT848 boards for video capture (e.g. Osprey 100)
• OSS sound drivers for audio capture
• libc6
• libstdc++.so.2.8
