Is a network card needed? Set up requirements?

[Amy-StrandVision]

Yes, one network card. We recommend a hard-wired network connection instead of a wireless (if an option). Any video card will work, however, having one with good direct-x capabilities will provide for smoother playback of scrolling text, video, etc. Get one that is rated well with recent PC video games for the best performance.

Since StrandVision Digital Signage is an internet-driven system, there are very few requirements for the Basic system. For video playback, a Windows 2000 or XP computer system with 2.5ghz or faster computer, 512MB Ram, 40GB hard drive, VGA display adapter with 64MB RAM(or more). A web browser that supports Javascript and Flash (Internet Explorer 3.0 or Netscape 4.0)
