8-1 Recommended System Requirements●Intel chip set, Southbridge above ICH6
●CPU : Intel Core2duo 2.4GHz or higher●Memory: Above 512MB●OS: Windows XP or above
8-2 Minimum System Requirements●USB3.0 Enhanced Host Controller●CPU : Intel Pentium4 1.7GHz or higher●Memory: Above 256MB●OS: Windows XP or aboveCaution■Please refer the restrictions below when you use ARTCAM.
(1)Recommended System requirements
If the system specifications are below the recommended requirements, it is possible that the camera may not reach themaximum speed.
(2) Use of other USB3.0 hardware
The data on our camera/converter is transferred in bulk mode. For this reason, when using our camera/converter,
please avoid using other bulk transferred USB3.0 hardware such as Memory stick, External HDD, External DVD,CDROM and etc.
As a solution, we recommend to install a PCI USB host card to the PC and connect external USB hardware to this port
only.
(3) USB3.0 cable Extension
We cannot guarantee the functionality of the USB3 camera if the user adopts USB3.0 extension cables or repeaterswhich are not confirmed by us. With the extension cables or repeaters, the bandwidth of transfer may differ, and thus
caused malfunctions such as a low frame rate or recognition failure on the camera.
What may cause the problem is that the regulation of the power lines becomes not enough, and so causes impudencemismatch on data signals.
*For the recommended extension cable, please contact our sales department. (TEL: +81-3-3389-5488)
