Part 6: Hardware Requirements and Performance

To process a 90-minute URE088 source to 4K fixed, expect: ure088 4k fixed

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X or Intel i9-13900K
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) – critical for AI models
• RAM: 64 GB minimum
• Storage: NVMe RAID 0 for intermediate lossless files (2 TB+)
• Processing time: ~12 hours for 4K upscale + 8 hours for manual fixing

Cloud rendering (AWS G4 instances) is an alternative for batch processing. CTF Write‑up – ure088 – “4k Fixed”

3.2 Low-Light Performance

Fixed-aperture lenses (e.g., F1.6) allow substantial light intake, but the 4K sensor’s small individual pixel size (typically ~2.0 µm) can increase noise. The camera compensates via: Part 6: Hardware Requirements and Performance To process

• 3D noise reduction (3DNR) – Temporal filtering.
• Smart IR – For models with built-in infrared LEDs, prevents overexposure of close objects.

Issue A: No video or only green/black screen

Cause: Your device or player doesn’t support the codec (likely HEVC/H.265) or the 4K resolution.
Fix: Use a software player that supports 4K HEVC:

• PC: VLC (latest version), MPC-HC, or PotPlayer
• Mac: IINA or VLC
• TV/Phone: If the file is 10-bit, older hardware may fail. Convert to 8-bit or lower resolution using HandBrake.
