System Requirements
Vū Media Server (Windows Machine)
The Vū Media Server requires a Windows PC connected directly to your display. The following are minimum requirements for running a single 4K display without add-ons like Cinema or Lighting automation.
These are absolute minimum specs for basic operation. Additional screens, higher resolutions, or add-on packages (Cinema, Lighting) will require a more powerful system. Contact Vū if you're unsure what you need.
Minimum Requirements
| Component | Minimum Spec |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 9 or Intel Core i7 or higher |
| RAM | 16 GB or greater |
| Storage | 1 TB available disk space |
| GPU | AMD Radeon 780M or NVIDIA GTX 1050 or higher |
| Network | 100 Mbps wired connection (minimum); 500 Mbps+ recommended |
Network Notes
- A hardwired Ethernet connection is strongly recommended. Wi-Fi introduces latency that can affect real-time control and media streaming.
- Network speed requirements also depend on media size. Still images at average resolution work on slower connections; 4K video of longer lengths require significantly faster bandwidth.
