• Video Card Osprey 500 family
  
• Audio Card Osprey 230, SoundBlaster Live or AWE 64

* Windows XP recommended for Hyperthreading support.

• Minimum system configuration can encode using the command line application into RealVideo 10 in High Complexity Mode from a live device at 240x180 @ 15fps to a 28 kbps and 56 kbps SureStream file (default settings) without any degradation in encoding complexity or frame rate.
• Recommended system configuration can encode using the command line application into RealVideo 10 in High Complexity Mode from a live device at 320x240 @ 30fps to a 768 kbps file without any degradation in encoding complexity or frame rate.
  

Supported Input File Formats

• Uncompressed AVI, uncompressed MOV, uncompressed WAV; any compressed or uncompressed file types supported by DirectShow (e.g. compressed AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2*, MPEG4, AU and AIFF); any compressed or uncompressed file types supported by QuickTime (e.g. compressed QT, MPEG1, MPEG2*, MPEG4, AU and AIFF)
• *For MPEG2 input support via DirectShow, an MPEG2 decoder (commonly installed by PC DVD players) is required. DirectShow file reader supported on Windows only. DirectX 6 or later is required for compressed file reading. QuickTime file reader support requires QuickTime 5 or later and is supported on Windows only.

Supported Input Capture Devices*

• Windows: Audio: Wav or WDM-based capture device (WDM recommended); Video: VFW or WDM capture device (WDM recommended)

* Capture card must support one of the color formats supported by RealProducer. Capture card should support hardware scaling. If it does not, use RealProducer resize feature. Do not enable this feature in the card driver.

Supported Input Color Formats

• YUY2, YV12, YVU9, YVYU, CYUV, IYUV, UYNV, UYVY, V422, YUNV.

Linux

Minimum

• Operating System Linux 2.4 with Glibc 2.1 or greater, Linux 2.6
  
• Processor 500 MHz Pentium-class CPU
  
• Memory 128 MB RAM
  
• Video Card Video for Linux 1 compatible video card
  
• Audio Card Open Sound System (OSS) compatible sound card*

Recommended

• Operating System - See note
• Processor Pentium 4 processor, 2.4GHz or faster
  
• Memory 512 MB RAM or more

* ALSA Drivers are not supported.

Note: Any distribution that meets these requirements should work, but Real tests and supports Redhat 9.0 SUSE 9.

• RealProducer Plus for Linux takes advantage of UNIX shell scripting for the ultimate flexibility in heavy production environments. It is intended for users wishing a 24x7 remotely managed encoding solution. Users wanting a graphical user interface for encoding should use the Windows version.

Supported Input File Formats*

• Uncompressed AVI, uncompressed MOV, uncompressed WAV

Supported Input Capture Devices*

• Audio: OSS-based capture device (ALSA may work in OSS-compatibility mode, although this is not supported)
  
• Video: Video4Linux 1 capture device (Video4Linux 2 may work although this is not supported)

* Capture card must support one of the color formats supported by RealProducer. Capture card should support hardware scaling. If it does not, use RealProducer resize feature. Do not enable this feature in the card driver.

Supported Input Color Formats*

• YUV12 (a.k.a. I420*); RGB 15, 16, 24, 32^2; BGR 15, 16, 24, 32

*Note: I420 is the native color format of RealVideo. Using I420 as an input color format will improve performance since RealProducer will not need to convert the color format prior to encoding.
