Hardware

To view the large (640 x 480) QuickTime streaming seminars, we recommend the following minimum configuration:

Windows Macintosh
  • Windows XP or later
  • 1.2 GHz or faster processor
  • At least 256MB of RAM
  • Mac OS X v10.3 or later
  • 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4 or faster
  • At least 256MB of RAM
    		•
    1024x768 or higher monitor resolution recommended. Your Internet connection should be capable of sustained speeds of 256 kbps (minimum) to 768 kbps (preferred) for best performance.

    Note: If the large seminar video stalls or becomes garbled on playback (either streaming of after downloading), try viewing the smaller 320 x 240 version (should run on hardware of a lower specification), or using another computer system.


    Software QT Required To view the iBioSeminars you will need to have QuickTime 7 Player installed on your computer. We recommend QuickTime version 7.4 or greater. Version 6 and lower will not work. QuickTime 7 takes advantage of the latest video compression technology called H.264 which creates much smaller files than previous codecs — without sacrificing any quality.

    Here's how to tell which version of QuickTime you have:

    On a Mac, launch QuickTime Player in your Applications folder, and select the menu item About QuickTime from the QuickTime Player menu.

    On a Windows machine, click the QuickTime icon (looks like a Q) in the System Tray, then select About QuickTime. Depending on the settings, however, the Quicktime icon may not appear in the System Tray. In that event, you will need to locate the QuickTime Player (by using Start:Programs:QuickTime:QuickTime Player), launch it, and select the About QuickTime Player menu item from the Help menu.

    QuickTime 7 Minimum System Requirements:
    Windows 2000/XP
    Mac OS 10.3.9 or later

    To download QuickTime 7, please visit the Apple website here.

    If you don't want to download iTunes with QuickTime 7, a standalone installer is available.

    QuickTime 7 is a free download, and you do not need to register for the Pro version to view the seminars.
