 WebVideo :: Requirements
Software don't have limits in the number of connections to handle, however it is limited by hardware. In our practice we were able to see maximum of 800 video chat connections on the single server (Xeon processor with 4G RAM). It is really important to have fast internet connection to get the best perfomance available on your server hardware.
Red5 streaming server is used which is cross-platform, however best results are on the Linux based systems. We strongly recommend Linux system: CentOS would be perfect choice.
Here is hardware requirements for each part of the system:
- Server hardware/software:
- Processor: Core 2 Duo. (Xeon recommended)
- RAM: 1Gb minimum (2+Gb recommended)
- Fast internet connection.
- Linux CentOS/Fedore Core or similar
- MySQL database
- Apache
- Performer hardware/software:
- Processor: 1GHz or better. h264 encoding requires fast dual or quad core processor.
- RAM: 1Gb or more
- 512kbps connection minimum
- Any OS (Windows XP/Visa/7, Max OS, Linux)
- Any Internet browser with Flash Player support
- For HD video broadasting need to setup Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder.

- 512kbps connection min.
- Supported browsers: any browser with Flash Player support.
