Requirements

Media Service is compatible with modern Windows standards and should run on Microsoft Windows version 7 and above. It has been tested on Microsoft Windows versions 7, 8 and 8.1. Media Service is designed to work with Viz Engine but does not require it to run.

The Media Service server requires:

  • Microsoft .Net client libraries, version 4.5.1 or above.

  • If running on Windows 7, the Coder component (used by Media Service) requires SP1 or higher. It is possible, though not normally done, to run the Coder component on a different machine than the server running Media Service. It is only Coder that requires Windows 7 SP1.

  • TCP/IP network connectivity to clients. The standard port is 21099 and this port must be open if using a firewall.
