Minimal Hardware Specifications (considering accelerated video decoding):
  • Processor: Intel Core i series (2nd Gen) or AMD A series (>= 2014)
  • Memory: 4GB (latest operating systems may require more for comfortable usage)
  • Storage: Internal hard drive with sufficient room for video footage (between 7.5 to 75MB/min depending on quality settings)
  • Resolution: minimally 1024×768 for an effective workflow
Recommended Hardware Specifications:
  • Processor: Intel Core i series (7th Gen or better) or AMD Ryzen (2000 series or better)
  • Memory: 8GB (ideally 16GB, best suited for systems handling more than two active divers)
  • Storage: Internal solid-state drive [SSD] (NVMe technology best suited for simultaneous recordings)
  • Graphics: Dedicated cards should be avoided due to troublesome dynamic switching and greater power consumption
  • Resolution: exactly or greater than 1920×1080 for a better experience
Supported Operating Systems:
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, 64-bit (highly recommended) Long-term support channel that ensures 5- or 10-year of security updates, less likely to experience functionality breakdowns due to disruptive updates
  • Windows 10, 32-bit/64-bit (all other editions)
  • Windows 11, 64-bit
  • Other operating systems might work but are not officially supported by AXSUB
Software Dependencies:
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 (comes installed by default with Windows 10, otherwise available as an offline installer right here)
Software Installation Procedure:
  • IMPORTANT: Before installation, unplug any AxVIEW or other AXSUB device (USB cables) from your computer, or it may lead to improper installation of the video encoder drivers.
  • Once equipment is unplugged, turn the equipment off to finish the power cycle.
  • At this point, you can launch the AxDDM3 installer.
  • Follow the steps on screen until installation is completed. Note that during the process, setups for Sensoray’s video drivers and FTDI CDM communication drivers will start automatically. You must install those components for the software to work properly.
  • Once the installation is completed, turn on your AxVIEW system(s) and plug the USB, wait for drivers to load, and you are now ready to launch the AxDDM3 software.
WARNING: Some anti-virus solutions are known to perturb the streams coming from the video encoders due to webcam protection agents. Here is a list of the affected versions and a link describing the required actions to take in order to allow full functionality of the software:
