Recommended Hardware (C Vers)

RT Software has been building and testing PC hardware for broadcast for many years. The grids below allow you to select a cost effective but reliable PC build for your graphics requirements.

You can provide the hardware yourself this is often a cheaper option, but it must meet or exceed the specifications listed here. Alternatively, we can provide HP PCs to you.

Please refer to the notes to ensure you are selecting the most suitable system. If in any doubt please contact us and we can help.
