UltraGrid Preliminaries (macOS) - CESNET/UltraGrid GitHub Wiki

This page lists recommended and minimal hardware requirements as well as the software requirements for macOS installation of UltraGrid. (For Linux preliminaries, click here.

Hardware

• You need Intel-based MacPro with at least 2 cores
• If you want to use uncompressed 1.5Gbps streams (either sending or receiving), you need 10GbE network interface card
  • we prefer and test with PCIe Myrinet 10GbE
• If you need sending capabilities, you need QuickTime-supported capture card
  • most often we use DeckLink Pro HD PCIe or Quad, but Intensity(Pro), Kona3, Kona 3G and MultiBridge are also known to work

Software

• we are currently using Leopard or Snow Leopard versions, although other versions may work too
• Xcode build environment (from macOS install CD/DVD), if you will compile from sources
• Quictime, OpenGL, Cocoa and Carbon frameworks (usually included in any instalation)
• DeckLink/AJA driver appropriate for your card
• optionally SDL (preferably from macports)
