System requirements
LiveDeck is efficient, but live video is demanding. These are the minimums; more inputs, NDI® and 4K want the recommended spec.
macOS
| System | macOS 13 Ventura or later (latest recommended) |
|---|---|
| Mac | Apple silicon (M1 or later) or Intel. For 1080p streaming and recording together, Apple silicon is recommended. |
| Memory | 8 GB minimum · 16 GB for many inputs, NDI® and 4K |
| LiveDeck Camera | App must be in the Applications folder |
| Permissions | Camera, Microphone and Screen Recording, asked the first time you use them (Scripture Listen also asks for Speech Recognition) |
Windows
| System | Windows 10 version 1903 or later, or Windows 11 — 64-bit (x64 or ARM64) |
|---|---|
| PC | Quad-core CPU; a GPU with hardware H.264/HEVC encoding (Intel Quick Sync, NVIDIA NVENC or AMD VCE) is recommended for streaming |
| Memory | 8 GB minimum · 16 GB recommended |
| Capture | Blackmagic DeckLink (Desktop Video 12+), UVC USB devices, NDI® 5/6 |
| Included | The installer adds the Visual C++ runtime; web inputs use Microsoft WebView2 (built into Windows 11) |
Both platforms
| Streaming | Upload speed of at least 1.5× your stream bitrate (LiveDeck shows the estimate in Stream settings). A wired connection is strongly recommended. |
|---|---|
| Displays | Any display, projector or LED processor connected to the computer; outputs can be scaled, cropped and offset per display. |
| Network | NDI® and LiveDeck Link need all computers on the same local network (gigabit switch recommended). |
