System Requirements
PCs are flexible systems, and there are any amounts of possibilities to combine hardware and software.
The base for a stable work with the DMXCreator lies in a stable PC system. The DMXCreator software has
proven in countless tests that it works without problem on systems using a standard configuration.
The DMXCreator carries out millions of calculations per second, so that virtually all parameters are rendered
parallel and in real-time. The CPU load is mainly dependent on the following criteria:
-

Number of occupied DMX512 channels

3D Visual emulator in use or not
Single or Multi Sequence use
DMX input enabled / disabled
Audio trigger with low-pass filter enabled / disabled

Here a few tips on how to increase the stability of your PC:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Do not run other applications simultaneously to DMXCreator

Disable any Windows power save faction!
Un-install interfering printer drivers or printer management software (only DMXCreator512MK2)
Connect the interface directly to the PC whenever possible. Avoid intermediate devices like Zip drives
on the parallel port (DMXCreator512MK2), or USB Hubs.

Besides having the right operating system, and free ports for your interface, please be advised of the
following absolute minimum system requirements:
-

IBM compatible PC
Minimum Pentium CPU/ 100 Mhz
32 MB RAM
VGA graphics card with SVGA resolution (800 X 600, 256 colours)
10 MB available hard disk space
CD-ROM drive (for installation)
Mouse

DMXCreator Manual

Yu cu h thng x dng y d cc chc nng:

-

Minimum Intel Core 2 processor 2.6Ghz

1 GB RAM
Fast graphics card with UXGA resolution
Sound-Blaster compatible soundcard with MIDI-Interface
