Yes. You will need to boot the MacBook Pro into Windows XP 32-bit using Bootcamp. We recommend users either have a 2.33Ghz or 2.4Ghz model with at least 2GB of RAM in order to run SiliconDVR. Also be sure to configure the internal NIC for 9K packets, which is accomplished in the Windows device manager for the NIC. Recent testing has shown that the MacBook Pro has a tendency to overheat in high ambient environments and with long duration recordings. It is advisable to test the MacBook configuration in the anticipated environment prior to being used on set.
