The above PC specifications are guides for
smooth use of the applications, and not a
guarantee of their operation.
●
Depending on the condition of use, applications
may not run smoothly even when the user’s
computer meets the specification requirements.
●
Using a computer for which its performance
does not meet the requirements may cause the
JPEG playback frame rate to deteriorate. In
addition, it also causes delay in the MPEG4
playback images, and may result in interruption
in playback.
●
To make use of the built-in MPEG4 Viewer of
VN-V686WPU, install “ffdshow” that is open
source codec. You can download “ffdshow” from
the Internet.
