What are the system requirements for Wirecast?
Wirecast is both a video mixer and live video & audio encoding application. As such, the system requirements are higher than “off-line” media tools such as video editing and traditional encoding applications. Wirecast will benefit from having as fast a CPU as possible, and automatically makes use of multiple processors or cores if available. You will require a graphics card with certain capabilities. On Mac OS X, if your system supports “Quartz Extreme”, then Wirecast will be able to run on your machine. On the Windows side, if your graphics card was made in the last four years, you should have no problems running the application. If in doubt, simply download the application and it will notify you if your system meets the minimum specifications for a video card. We always recommend testing out the evaluation version of Wirecast in your environment. For more information, please see the Wirecast Tech Specs.
