Hi there,

I’ve purchased Wowza media server + Wirecast pro encoder for Live Streaming.

Are there hardware requirements for wirecast (Laptop and Desktop PC)?.

I need to adquire one laptop for this pourpose. Could you recomend one?

Best regards.

Hi igarcia,

There really are no hardware requirements. The hardware is not the bottleneck. It’s the bandwidth.
