You have to install the Grab Show 110 driver so that you can configure the
system of Grab Show 110. Please follow the steps as below to finish the installation of Grab Show 110 driver.
2.1 System requirements
Video demands a lot from your computer. When setting up your system for video
editing, the basic factors to consider are the size and speed of your hard drive,
RAM, and processor. These determine how much video you can store and how
quickly you can process or render your files. If you can afford a bigger hard drive,
higher RAM, and faster chip, go with it. Just remember that technology is
changing so rapidly and by evaluating first the kind of video editing projects you
plan to do, you can better determine the setup that works best for you.
Following are the system requirements for setting up Video Studio:
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP
1.7GHz or above CPU speed is recommended
128 MB of RAM (256 MB or above for editing)
