To use the Quintic Software you will need a personal computer and a digital video camcorder or Basler high-speed camera.

To capture digital video files, your personal computer will require a FireWire IEEE 1394 - port along with a FireWire Cable. The FireWire cable transforms the digital signal from your digital camcorder into a format which can be processed by your computer.

The FireWire Cable connects the DV-out port (Digital Video) from your digital camcorder to the external port of your computer's FireWire port. Most computers come with an inbuilt FireWire port and so all you will require is a FireWire Cable. Sony VAIO Notebooks and Desktops, Dell, Toshiba and Sharp Laptops are examples of computers that come with FireWire ports. If your computer doesn't have a FireWire port, please see Quintic hardware for necessary plug in FireWire cards.

Quintic software requires full administrator rights to load and run the software for the first occassion. Once the software has been 'unlocked' using Quintic security, then specific user accounts (if required) can be set-up on your computer. This also applies to Network systems.

Please Note: A medium to high specification graphics capability is recommended for the use of Quintic Software - in particular Dual Camera Capture.
