System Requirements

We have compiled a list of both recommended and minimum system requirements for video playback and the Medical Video Producer software. If you are interested in determining if your system can successfully playback video and/or run the Medical Video Producer software, please use the Minimum System Requirements column of the table below. If you are interested in purchasing a new system, and want to ensure that it will provide exceptional playback and editing capabilities, please see the Recommended System Requirements column.

Note: Image Stream Medical has had great experience with Dell's Latitude line of laptops as well as their Dimension line of desktops. However, the recommended requirements listed below should still be followed when configuring your system.

Recommended System Requirements

Computers that meet or exceed these requirements will have exceptional video playback performance and will offer a smooth video production experience.

Minimum System Requirements

Computers that meet these requirements should be able to playback video from DVR Discs and run the Medical Video Producer application, however the performance may be less than optimal.
