Hardware Requirements

Minimum Requirements

Display
1024 x 768 display driver supporting OpenGL 3.0 or above is required to display 360° photos. For 360° photos, we recommend the Insta360. Other 360° compatible with Revu include Giroptic, LG 360 Cam, Nikon Key Mission 360,Ricoh Theta V, Samsung Gear 360Processor

Desktops and laptops: 1 GHz processor or equivalent
Tablets: Intel i3 processor or equivalentRAM

4 GB (32-bit Windows)
8 GB (64-bit Windows)Hard Disk

At least 5 GB of available spaceRevu for working with typical office documents

When using Revu for general office applications, a standard, general class computer that meets the above requirements may be used.Revu for working with large sets of engineering documents

When working with large drawing sets (for example, construction project bid sets) in which the PDFs may contain hundreds of large format drawings, it is recommended that workstations have adequate memory and processor resources. A recommended hardware configuration would be 64-bit Windows with an Intel i5 Dual Core or better processor, as well as at least 8 GB of RAM. Revu can run on systems with lower specifications; however, a workstation with these settings will provide the optimal performance. 

When Using Revu for OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
When using the OCR functionality of Revu eXtreme, 64-bit Windows is highly recommended for best performance.
