DISCUSSION

    Mac OS
    • 68020, 68030, 68040, or PowerPC processor (PowerPC processor recommended for effects, 3D, Floating-Point Audio, DV, MPEG, RTP streaming features, or QDesign Music)
    • 68000-family microprocessor based Macintosh computers must also support Color QuickDraw
    • At least 8MB of RAM (random-access memory) recommended for 680x0-based computers; at least 16MB of RAM recommended for PowerPC-based computers
    • Mac OS 7.1 or later. QuickTime's RTP streaming works with Mac OS 8.0 or later because it requires OpenTransport 1.2--or later--part of Mac OS 8.0.


    Windows
    • Intel or compatible processor or any MPC2- compliant PC (minimum 66-MHz 486 processor; also supports Pentium, Pentium Pro, and Pentium II with MMX processors; Pentium processor recommended when using effects, 3D, Sorenson Video, DV, RTP streaming features, or QDesign Music)

    • Sound Blaster or compatible sound card and speakers
    • Installation of Direct X version 3.0 or higher is recommended for best performance
