\"multimedia<\/p>\n

There are a few types of workstation computers<\/a>. Multimedia workstations are probably the most unique. They typically have a much different set of components not seen in other systems. Below we will cover some of the common parts you should look for.<\/p>\n

Multimedia Workstation Components<\/h2>\n

Processor: High core count CPU\u2019s capable of handling video editing software, encoding, and rendering duty.<\/p>\n

Capture & TV Tuner Cards:<\/strong> Capture cards and TV tuners are used to pull in video from external sources. You may or may not need one of these depending on your use case.<\/p>\n

Graphics Card:<\/strong> Workstation GPU\u2019s are typically the choice here. Nvidia Quadro<\/a>, and AMD Firepro cards offer advance drivers that deliver the accuracy needed for professionals.<\/p>\n

Internal Storage\/NAS:<\/strong> Multimedia production typically requires A LOT of storage. If you have a large tower it can be housed internally, however NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems are becoming more and more popular due to their increased flexibility.<\/p>\n

RAM:<\/strong> Multimedia applications require large amounts of RAM<\/a>. These systems typically start at 32GB and can go up over 512GB.<\/p>\n

External Media Devices:<\/strong> Depending on the type of content you worth with, external media devices, like CD\/DVD\/Blu-ray drives may be requires. You may also need VHS or projection equipment if you work with older forms a physical media.<\/p>\n
