- ========================================================================
- System Requirements
-
- To play StarTV you should have a minimum of a 386 CPU with super VGA (8-bit
- (256 color)) or better graphics, a sound card, Microsoft Windows 3.X , DOS 5.0 (or
- higher), a CD-ROM drive and a mouse. A minimun of 4 megabytes of RAM is
- recommended.
-
- For viewing digital video a "Hi Color" (16-bit (64,000) color) video adapter is
- recommended. An 8-bit display also looks okay. The release of QuickTime for Windows
- included with StarTV is optimized for 16-bit video.

- Helpful Hints
-
- Movie Quality
-
- The quality of a Starware movie depends a lot on a computer's configuration. Having the
- fastest computer does not guarantee the highest quality movie. For example, a slow CD-
- ROM drive or a slow video adapter will degrade the quality even on the fastest computer.
- Starware has taken great care to provide you with top quality movie that is playable on a
- wide range of computers.
-
- Hints for Improving Movie Quality
-
- 1. If you are running Windows in a high resolution mode (800x600 or 1024x768),
- temporarily lower it to 640x480. This will greatly improve the movie quality providing
- smoother motion. It will also increase the size of the movie.
-
- 2. Changing the color depth will also have profound effects. Running Windows in a 256
- color mode provides good performance but only adequate picture quality. Running in 24-
- bit(16 million) color provides excellent picture quality but increases jerky motion. The
- best color depth is either 15-bit(32,000 colors) or 16-bit(65,000 colors), usually referred
- to as Hi-color. Hi-color mode provides the best picture quality and video performance for
- running Starware movies.
