¹The speed of the processor and the front side bus and the amount of RAM in the computer system running DC Live/Forensics determines the number of filters that can be running in real-time. The minimum computer can run several filter modules at one time in real-time. The recommended system can run eight (8) times as many filter modules in real-time as the minimum system.

²The number of filter module control panels that can be displayed and simultaneously viewed is limited to three or four filter module control panels with one monitor. The number of filter module control panels that can be displayed on two monitors doubles.

³The sound card determines the (1) number of channels that can be digitized, (2) the quantization level (16 to 24 bits) of each sample, (3) the sample rate (44.1 to 192 KHz) and (4) the maximum signal-to-noise ratio that the incoming audio signal can have. Remember that head room above the loudest sound in the audio signal is required if the user boosts any frequency bands with EQ and that foot room below the background noise in the audio signal is needed if the background noise is going to be reduced.

⁴The printer is necessary to make hard copies of the computer monitor displays. Required for taking and maintaining scientific notes in forensic examinations, a color printer enables the observer to distinguish traces and information that are in different colors. If within budget, color is best.
