IPi Recorder System Requirements for Multiple PlayStation Eye Cameras System

From iPiSoft Wiki

• Computer (desktop or laptop):
  • CPU: x86 compatible (Intel Pentium 4 or higher, AMD Athlon or higher), dual- or quad- core is preferable
  • Operating system: Windows 7 (x86 or x64), Windows Vista (x86 or x64), Windows XP SP3 (x86 or x64)
  • USB: at least two USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 controllers

  • Storage system: HDD or SSD or RAID with write speed:

Note If your write speed is lower, you can work with 320 x 240 resolution and/or lower frame rate. Alternatively, you can use compressed mode (that gives 3-5 times lower required write speed, but your CPU capacity may become a bottleneck)
