Server Requirements

The minimum server requirements include:

•Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server (with Service Pack 1).

•Pentium IV or Xeon Processor 1.26 GHz Minimum (2 GHz or higher recommended).

•RAM 512 MB Minimum (1 GB or more recommended).

•Hard Drive 36 GB Minimum (larger for frequent recording).

Note VBrick has tested the ETV Portal Server on Windows 2000 Web Server and Windows 2003 Server Web Edition. Note also that ETV Portal Server also will not operate correctly on a server that is configured as a primary domain controller or with other network-related services and software.

Desktop Requirements

Windows-based PC and Macintosh users access the ETV Portal Server through a web browser. For Windows-based PCs, on the first access to the server, VBrick StreamPlayer software is automatically downloaded to the PC. StreamPlayer software lets end users select a stream and view TV-quality video directly on a PC. Macintosh users view MPEG-4 video through the QuickTime player.
