NOTE: In the next sections we will go into the memory and hard disk requirements in more detail
2.2 Xpect server: required memory
The amount of memory required for Xpect consists of two parts, namely: (1) the minimum amount of
memory required for the Windows operating system and (2) the runtime amount of memory required
by Xpect itself. For the first we recommend you consult the system requirements of the Windows version
you will be using; but, as a minimum, we recommend at least 1GB. The runtime memory requirements
depend on the number of transport streams and the sizes of the pre- and post-trigger buffers.
To compute the amount of memory required for an Xpect server the Xpect Configuration Tool could
be used to define your configuration and show the memory required for Xpect.
M
REQ
= M
OS
+ M
RUNTIME
, where
M
REQ
= Total amount of memory required for an Xpect system
M
OS
= Minimum amount of memory required by Windows
For example, suppose you have a setup with 4 transport streams and with the pre- and post-trigger
buffer sizes set to respectively 32MB and 16MB. In this case the total amount of memory required
would be:
M
REQ
= 1GB + 562MB
M
REQ
= >1.5 GB
