Recommended computer setup (hardware)
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5 or i7, or equivalent AMD processors (Ryzen, X64, etc.) Memory (RAM): a minimum of 4 Gbyte RAM, 8 Gbyte recommended Video card (GPU): Any recent video cards with support for DirectX 11/12 or OpenGL
We recommend the use of cameras with 800x600 pixels resolution or better which can register at a 30 frames per second (FPS) rate or higher and connect through USB 2.0. With the introduction of the 16:9 aspect ratio you can use the best camcorders on the market to provide crystal clear image quality which is superior to the webcams' quality. If you use a camcorder, it should have a digital port (HDMI, FireWire) for better image quality.)
