System Requirements

This page describes the minimum software and hardware requirements for Viz Arc.

Minimum Software Requirements

The following are minimum software and version requirements for Viz Arc to function properly:

General

  • Windows 10/11

  • Microsoft .NET Core Framework 8.0

  • CodeMeter version 8.00 and later

Vizrt Software

  • Viz Engine/Artist 3.14.x: Must be installed as a Video machine and shared memory output must be configured for built-in Viz Output to function.

  • Graphic Hub 3.5.0

  • Graphic Hub REST 2.5.0

Note: To integrate with Viz Virtual Studio, Tracking Hub 1.1 or higher must be installed.

Epic Games Unreal Engine

  • Unreal Engine 5.1 or higher is required for Unreal integration.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

Viz Arc runs on the following platforms:

  • Windows 10/11 (64-bit only)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2

For optimal performance, use the pre-installed Windows image from Vizrt. You can obtain Windows image files from your local support office.

The following prerequisites apply to all platforms. Applying the changes may require local administrator access rights, new or amended group policy entries, or modified services. Contact your local IT manager for assistance.

Please refer to the relevant Viz Engine version hardware requirements.

Antivirus

Vizrt does not recommend or test antivirus systems in combination with Vizrt products, as the use of such systems can potentially lead to performance losses. The decision for the use of antivirus software and thus the risk of impairments of the system is solely at the customer's own risk.

There are general best-practice solutions, these include setting the antivirus software to not scan the systems during operating hours and that the Vizrt components, as well as drives on which clips and data are stored, are excluded from their scans (as previously stated, these measures cannot be guaranteed).

Services and folders which should be excluded from scanning are:

  • All the files contained in C:\Program Files\Vizrt\Viz Arc x.x (where x.x is the version of Viz Arc).

  • All the files contained in C:\programdata\vizrt\vizarc.
