When upgrading from previous versions:
For high-definition editing and optimal performance of VT[5] LiveSet™ technology (virtual sets) we recommend dual CPUs or multi dual-core CPUs for the smoothest and fastest operation. Owners of versions prior to VT[4], may need to consider upgrading their NewTek hardware. For complete details follow this link.

*NewTek recommends the optimal system configuration. Systems with slower processor and drive speeds will work with VT[5], but some complex functions may not perform in real-time. Additionally, as new technology becomes available, system recommendations will be updated. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
