The system has been developed in the 'Windows XP' 32-bit environment. The hard- and soft-ware requirements of the system are outlined below:
The Main Application ('MSEHDTV.exe') requires at least:
| • | A Pentium Dual-Core E52xx series processor (or equivalent); |
| • | A WUXGA (1920 * 1200 pixels) or HDTV (1920 * 1080 pixels) display ** ; |
| • | Local Area Network Connectivity @ 100 mbits/sec (or greater); |
| • | Internet Connectivity at any speed; |
| • | 1 GB disk space. |
| • | Windows XP with service pack 3; |
| • | Net Framework 3.5; |
| • | DirectX 9.0; |
| • | Adobe 'Acrobat Reader' 9.0. |
The Supervisor Application ('MSESupervisor.exe') can be run on a second PC or Netbook and requires at least:
| • | An Intel 'Atom' processor; |
| • | An XGA (640 * 480) display; |
| • | Wired Local Area Network Connectivity @ 100 Mbps(or greater) or |
| • | Wireless Connectivity @ 54 Mbps; |
| • | Internet Connectivity at any speed; |
| • | 100 KB disk space. |
| • | Windows XP with service pack 3; |
| • | Net Framework 3.5; |
If you wish to perform Full HD video recording, you should read the section entitled "Compatible Equipment" in the <Camera> section of this manual.
A second version of the supervisory application (which runs in the Windows 'Mobile' environment) is available on request.
The system is primarily designed for small-group learning situations. The equipment required for this environment is shown below. The communication between the Supervisor and Trainee can be implemented over a wired or wireless LAN, or using a direct Ethernet connection. The PC display is transmitted to the HDTV using the HDMI ports of the devices.
If a PC (rather than a notebook) is used by the trainee, the system also works well with a hidden PC connected directly to the HDTV (as its primary monitor) and a 'Bluetooth' wireless keyboard (such as the 'Microsoft' 'Wireless Entertainment 7000').
** The system can also be run on a conventional dual -display (second monitor) system or a remote dual display system such as 'Maxivista'.
