System specifications

This section describes the hardware requirements that customers should use when purchasing equipment for this release. The minimum spec describes the bare minimum requirement for running GV STRATUS VTR Ingest and GV STRATUS VTR Controller, which may reduce the quality of user experience, depending on the task. The expected lifespan of minimum spec equipment is also less than that of recommended spec equipment, since it lacks head room for future growth.

Note: Minimum specs for SD configurations are provided only for existing SD customers upgrading to this release. New customers should use HD configurations.
