RECOMMENDED CLIENT REQUIREMENTS
| Operating system | 64-bit versions of Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/ |
| CPU | 2GHz |
| Memory | 4GB or more (of which 3GB or more usable by AVIX) |

As movies by default are played by the CPU and not with separate graphics hardware (even if such hardware is available on the machine) high resolution movies like 720p/1080p and above will require significantly better hardware than the minimum client requirements. The bandwidth required to read data from the data storage containing the used movie files also scales with the resolution used in those movies.
Hardware rendering can be turned on in the settings of the application. If you experience that movies “stutter” when played, it is a sign of CPU or bandwidth needs are not being fulfilled. If the machine in question has a graphics card that support OpenGL hardware rendering, it is recommended that you try to activate hardware rendering in the application settings and see if that alleviates the situation. It can also help to make sure that the movie file itself resides on a local storage medium and that no disc intensive operations are taking place on that medium when movies are played (like for example disk defragmentation, indexing, etc).
Video storage area: With a total bitrate of around 500 kbps (480p) and 600 min of assembly line to record, you would get something around 2.15 GB of data to store.
Another example with a higher resolution camera (720p), you could have a total bitrate of 1.25MB/s. That would amount to 44 GB for 600 min video.
AviX files are not that big, typically up to around 2MB.
(That’s if you don’t embed a lot of documents/pictures inside the AVIX files.)
