System Requirements
Ventuz Designer, Director and Runtime are based on DirectX and Microsoft .Net and therefore
compatible with Microsoft Windows systems only. Ventuz Software is supposed to be executed with
Administrator privileges to prevent permission related issues.
1) min. 16 GB required for Design Workstations, 32 GB for Production Systems
2) Xeons offer a higher amount and bandwidth of PCI-e lanes, L3-cache size, support for ECC-RAM and durability (qualified to handle
the heavier load over a longer period). Therefore, Xeon processors are mandatory for extensive Video I/O and playback
3) While most dedicated (discrete) graphics cards are compatible with Ventuz we highly recommend the professional series of NVIDIA
or AMD for production use.
4) While Ventuz is not very demanding regarding disk speed in general, the data transfer rate from HDD to GPU becomes a crucial
factor for good results and fluid playback when dynamic assets or video content are used in a project. Solid State Disks (SSD) or SSD RAIDs
with high data transfer rates are highly recommended for projects with content alike.
Ventuz supports VR-Devices such as HTC VIVE and the Oculus Rift including their controllers. Consumer Graphic Cards might have an advantage over the AMD and NVIDIA professional due to their dedicated HDMI output which is missing with many of the professional cards. Please refrain from using Display Port to HDMI adaptors as they often cause compatibility issues. Please refer to our Software Requirements for VR for more detailed information.
