XStudio 316

In order to use XStudio successfully, certain hardware and Windows operating system requirements

must be met. You must also install the XStudio software on the PC, using an installation program.

This section documents the system requirements for XStudio and covers the process of installing,

updating and removing the XStudio software.

2.1 System Requirements

Here are the base hardware and operating system requirements to run XStudio:

Operating System: Windows 2000 Pro (SP4), Windows XP Pro, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Vista is not recommended as the host operating system for XStudio. Internal

testing suggests performance under Vista is degraded compared to the other

supported operating systems.

CPU Speed: 1 GHz or greater

RAM Memory: 256 MB RAM or greater for Windows 2000 & XP Pro, 512MB (1GB recommended)

for Vista, Windows 7 & Windows 8.

VGA Display: A minimum of 800 x 600 resolution, 1024 x 768 or greater is highly recommended as

this resolution is necessary to display all four playback decks properly. A second monitor is desirable

if making extensive use of Cart Wall.

Audio Card: An audio card supported by the operating system - one playback channel as a

minimum. Two (2) or three (3) playback channels are recommended with a maximum of 4 physical

output channels supported.

If only a single audio device is present in the system, that device will also be the

one used by Windows to play system sounds. It is highly recommended that all

system sounds be disabled if the PC has just one audio device. This will

prevent unwanted sounds during audio playback.

Game Port: For use as the interface for remote starts (optional).

Default Print Device: You must have a default print device assigned. XStudio can produce printed

reports and lists and expects to have an available default printer. If you do not have a printer, you

can use one of the available non-printing devices like the Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

Disk Space: At least 40 MB free disk space for XStudio, audio engine and documentation files.

XStudio Database and Inventory Manager Database files may consume 100MB or more, depending

on the size of the audio inventory, music library size and number of Tasks, Actions and Scheduled

Events. Additionally, you must have sufficient available disk space to accommodate carts (audio

files) that are stored locally.

A 100 mbs or better LAN card (NIC): The OS’ TCP/IP client must be installed on the PC. XStudio

uses TCP/IP to communicate with the host audio server, whether it is the supplied XEngine or a host

DCS or Maestro connecting via rcServer.

To use XStudio, you need access to source audio files (.DAF files), either those used with a DCS or

Maestro system or created to meet the .DAF file specification, and optionally, the log files. This means

you need to be connected to the network (LAN) in which the DCS and/or Maestro units are running, if

integrating XStudio with an existing delivery system or if audio is stored on a file server. Be sure that

your system administrator has provided you the necessary access rights to these file locations. For
