DVPlayer requires: 

Video Card - you can start playing with almost ANY middle class video card, but in order to receive interlaced signal good for broadcast you should use video card like Matrox P650, Matrox Parhelia APVe or BlackMagic DeckLink for SDI. With DeckLink you can use PCIe ATI Radeon 9550 or upper. With Matrox P650 or Matrox Prehelia you will need a good sound card like Creative AUDIGY. With DeckLink you don't need sound card.

* If you want to use Matrox video card you should ask for cable for TV Out. For Matrox P650 this cable is sold separated and you must order it specially.

* Matrox P690 don't work with DVPlay software, because don't support DVDMax future.

Personal computer

Note: If you want to use Core 2 Duo processor you will need at least 2.4 GhHZ

Note: Even if you use PC with recommended parameters you may not be able to play files if other programs have been started on the same PC and have gotten a lot of CPU power. For that reason you must watch the Power Indicator. CPU power indicator becomes red when CPU usage gets into high value range and this usage has continued for more than a few seconds which may lead to the tear of playing. Normal CPU values when only DVPlay 5 is started are about 40-50 % on CPU 3.00 GHz.
