System requirements
Operating Systems
The Media Maestro Suite is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Windows NT
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP
Whilst it can run on Windows 98 it is not recommended as there may be some conflicts with later versions of the Oracle database. Please contact Counterpoint Systems for further information.
Server Specification
The recommended server specification will vary depending on the size of the database and the expected user activity.
| Processor | High-end Pentium III/ Pentium IV class CPU |
| Operating system | MS Windows NT or later |
| Memory | 1GB RAM and then 32MB RAM per additional user over and above five initial users, i.e. there can never be too much memory. |
| Monitor and video | SVGA monitor with 1 MB video RAM running in 800x600 resolution. |
| Hard disk | 20 GB free hard drive space and then specific sizing requirements based on each client's usage of Movie Maestro. |
| Misc | CD ROM drive. Microsoft-compatible mouse. |
It is important to note that this recommendation should only be used as a guide. A more detailed specification should be decided on during the planning phase of implementation.
The above specification is based on a Windows O/S. Oracle will run on other operating systems such as Unix or Linux.
Client Specification
Recommended client requirements
| Processor | Pentium III class CPU. |
| Operating system | MS Windows NT/2000/XP |
| Memory | 128 MB RAM |
| Monitor and video | SVGA monitor with 1 MB video RAM running in 800x600 resolution |
| Hard disk | 100 MB free hard drive space |
| Misc | 100baseT network card. Microsoft-compatible mouse |
Single User System
Personal Oracle can only be used as a single user license. It cannot be networked in any way and cannot be installed on a network drive. As a consequence the machine on which Media Maestro components are run must be capable of running both Oracle and the Media Maestro software itself.
Recommended requirements
| Processor | Pentium III class CPU |
| Operating system | MS Windows NT/2000 |
| Memory | 512 MB RAM |
| Monitor and video | SVGA monitor with 1 MB video RAM running in 800x600 resolution |
| Hard disk | 20 GB free hard drive space |
| Misc | CD ROM drive. Microsoft-compatible mouse |
Remote Access
The Media Maestro Suite is licensed on a concurrent user basis. As long as there is a single instance of the database in one location there is no additional charge for remote sites that have access to the database.
The Media Maestro Suite does not distinguish between the potential locations of the client workstations and therefore users can connect to the database through a dedicated client from anywhere in the world, providing they have remote access to the network or the Oracle server itself.
Remote access can be achieved via any dial-up connection or using terminal services such as Citrix or Windows terminal services
Bandwidth requirements will vary depending upon operations performed by the user. Contact us for more information if required.
