Hardware Requirements

A licensed Viz Engine.

Note: Preview Server can run on the same machine as a Viz Engine and Media Sequencer, but it is recommended to specify additional pairs of Viz Engine and Media Sequencer in order to spread the load.

Virtual Environments

Preview Server can run in a virtual environment. However, if you plan to run Viz Engine on the same virtual machine, make sure that the virtual machine is set up with the requirements to run Viz Engine, see chapter 4 and 5 in the Viz Engine Administrator Guide. 

Since Preview Server is configured via a web browser on localhost and the web browser and Preview Server must run on the same machine, you must use remote desktop to configure your system.

Tip: When running in a virtual environment, it can be convenient to configure Preview Server for several Viz Engines.
