Martin, I've got a Dell T7500 workstation running dual 6-core xeon processors at 2.9ghz. I'm trying to run a single 1080_59.94i replay camera but I get an error message saying I need at least a 3.4ghz processor. Have you tested any dual-processor hardware for performance? I would think the 12 cores of this system would be at least as good as 4 cores running at 3.4ghz. Any way to make the error messages a warning, but not absolutely deny the setup?

Also, tried using 720_59.94p as the input, but received an error message saying frame rates did not match. Both the input and the replay settings were set to 59.94p at the time and the exact shame numbers were showing up in both places in the error message.

I was able to get the replay system to work with the output module at 720x480_29.97p so I will keep playing with it. Looks great so far.

Ah, damn!

I'm at the hockey rink right now and wanted to test the new replay system on a game day. I installed the new Vmix version and tried to activate the replay input...BAM...I forgot that i had a 3930k processor in this computer, with only 3.2 ghz -.-

Looks like may testsession will be delayed to another game day.

@ Rinsky

How many inputs and at what resolution?

I am much more underpowered than you at the moment, but am testing the workflow mostly.
So far, no performance issues with i7 950 3.0 Ghz with a GEForce 470 @ 720x480 with 2 SD inputs to traditional external HD via USB 3.
(This is far below the 'supported' specs, but as I said, I am testing the workflow and learning the interface)

I will be dropping the requirements somewhat for single channel operation so this input is helpful.

The basis for the requirements is the assumption that other components of vMix will be used as well
such as streaming etc, so it is a bit higher than needed in a lot of cases.

What a shame I can not even test :-( single channel /SD .
material must be getting old

I7CPU Q840 @ 1.87Ghz but otherwise working more than adequate for my normal use currently

exactly :-(

Seems to be the CPU required. (at least 2Ghz it tells me and I only have 1.867Ghz) after all other settings are set correctly thats were it refuses to accept any posibility of testing even if this means some glitches

as someone that has posted a question about an underpowered system and a support engineer as well, i can relate to you wanting to warn people that it probably won't work.
Then again you can't test all setups with all footage types, so i might just as well do work, and i would like some way to unlock features on probably unsupported hardware.

I wouldn't mind having to agree to a disclaimer, even with a prerequested passcode or whatever , stating that i'm on my own in this, but disallowing use alltogether is a bit harsh.

(i'm an IT dinosaur, i ran SAP systems on virtual hardware far before SAP allowed for that , knowing very well that i would have to replicate any problem i had on supported , non-virtual hardware before i was elligable for support, I see this in the same way)

Martin,
I agree with M@ik and Ice. I believe that a proper description of required hardware for a couple of example uses is the way to go. Perhaps supplemented with a agreement/confirmation at time of purchase.

On a side note, do you check the cpu/graphic cards spec or actual power. The latter is of course dependent on if the user is overclocking/trimming...
