The minimum requirements to install and/or run are Windows 10 64-bit (Enterprise, Home or Pro), 4GB of RAM, suitable CPU (dependent upon the host resolution and quality intended for transmission), and preferably a recent NVIDIA graphics card, which can be used to offload the encoding or decoding using NVIDIA’s CUDA.
