The Instant Effects suite of presentation products runs on Windows-based computers (Vista and Windows 7). Because all images are generated in real time, performance is most greatly influenced by the power of your system's display hardware. Other factors, such as CPU speed, available memory, type of content being displayed, and screen resolution, all play a role in determining the quality and smoothness of the resulting presentation.

The best way to tell how well our software works on your system is to install the free trial version.

Download Presenter and give it a test drive.

Recommended Hardware:

• Dual core or quad core CPU
• 2 Gigabytes or more of system memory
• A discrete graphics processor from AMD/ATI or Nvidia with at least 512M of dedicated display memory. For Event Presenter, 3D Presenter and S3D Presenter 1G is recommended. Newer Intel HD graphics systems (HD 3000 and above) may also achieve adequate performance for your needs. We recommend running the trial version of Presenter to gauge real world performance.
