SYSTEM INFORMATION
CHASSIS: By default, all systems come in an ATX-style desktop tower configuration, either a mid-tower or a full-tower, depending on configuration. On request, we can accommodate rack-mount options with a 4U chassis.
​
COMPONENT SELECTION: Our systems are designed to perform well - with nearly a decade of PC building experience, we've configured all systems to perform as expected. If you have special requests for your system, let us know. Special requests include additional storage space, upgraded networking, faster processors, etc. By default, all of our systems include 2 terabytes of PCI-express, NVMe solid-state storage, DDR5 memory, an NVIDIA graphics card supporting the NVENC encoder for accelerated H.264 and HEVC encoding for streaming and local recording, an 80+ Gold or better power supply from Corsair, extremely quiet and efficient air cooling from Noctua, and a premium case with airflow from Corsair or Fractal Design.
SUPPORTED SOFTWARE
All of our systems will be pre-loaded with Windows 11 Pro and appropriate drivers. You are more than welcome to change your operating system and drivers as you wish, but we cannot guarantee compatibility with other operating systems.
​
For livestreaming and recording, we recommend the free and open-source Open Broadcaster Software as a great way to get started. However, if you need a more premium solution, our systems support both Wirecast and vMix.
​
All systems have hardware inputs and outputs, but also support network-based inputs including NewTek NDI-equipped cameras and encoders.
