System and hardware requirements for OS-based devices.

Minimal requirements - iOS 12 and higher.

Recommended requirements - Mac OS X 10.13 and higher.

We recommend providing broadcasting points with a connection to the server with speed from 2Mbps for correct operation and high responsiveness (when executing commands, receiving screenshots, updating the media plan, changing the online status and downloading content) close to real-time. Otherwise the lower speed will negatively affect the operation of the whole system.

When using external data sources (for example, showing stream video), we recommend calculating the provided speed according to the amount of downloaded content.
