The following table describes the recommended baseline configuration for a monitoring workstation that displays video from Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM 6.3). A workstation with this configuration was used to determine the recommended maximum video loads. This configuration assumes that the workstation is dedicated to video. Running other software, such as firewalls, antivirus applications, CD/DVD burning utilities, and general-purpose applications will reduce the quality of the user experience.
