Is Mac Mini 2012 enough to run Resolume Avenue/Arena?

Post by etherealgypsy »

Is Mac Mini 2012 enough to run Resolume Avenue/Arena? It will solely run on VJing, the specs of the new Mac Mini 2012 is as follows:

Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
RAM: 8 GB SDRAM
Hard Drive: 5 cessor: Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor
Operating System: Mac OS X Mountain Lion

I think the main question is, is the video card Intel HD Graphics 3000 sufficient to run both of the resolume programs with dual monitor? for live performance I intend to use the old Macbook 13.3 (Core 2 Duo, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB DDR3 Graphics Memory) as I don't have the budget yet to purchase a new lappy.

Cheers! :)

I use the higher end mac-mini (not the server one) and it works perfectly with avenue.

I often use multiple layer of 1024 x 768 video, hi rez stills. without a problem, with dual monitors.
