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).
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.
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.
