## Computer / Software Requirements

Presently DT Nexus is a Mac-only based Software. Note that many of our clients who primarily use PC have successfully added a Mac for capture and processing by arguing it is an integral part of the digitization station.

- **M-based Mac** (not Intel)
  - M1, M2, M3, M4, or M5 processor
  - MacOS Sequoia (15) or MacOS Tahoe (MacOS 26.1 or higher)
  - **Ram** of 16 GB minimum for standard operation. 24 GB minimum for Fusion Processing
  - **Disk Space: **20 GB free disk space (minimum required for app size & profile creation - additional space required for capture or Fusion Processing, as needed)
  - **Internet:** A connection to the internet is required to initially sign in to DT Nexus. Nexus periodically checks its license, and will continue to work for \~100 days without internet.
- **Supported Camera**
  - DT Nexus supports Phase One cameras for Capture
  - DT Nexus supports raws, tiffs, and jpgs created with Phase One cameras for profiling, validation, AI Crop, and fusion processing
- **For Tethered Capture**
  - A camera compatible with your license of Capture One must be connected for DT Nexus to provide capture triggering 
- **Capture One **
  - Capture One 23 (v16.3.8 minimum; v16.8.4 recommended) must be installed and activated
    - **DT Nexus Beta** supports Capture One CH, Pro, and Studio licenses

**DT Nexus supports Phase One raw files, and TIFF/JPGs created from Phase One raw files. See 3rd Party Files for the limited functionality available for other files.**

## Profiling - Target Requirements

To use DT Nexus to create a color profile for **reflective materials** we suggest that you have at least two of the following targets, preferably with custom spectral measurements:

- DT NGT V2 Target
- ISA FADGI 19264 Target
- ColorChecker SG (CCSG)

To use DT Nexus to create a color profile for **transmissive materials** we suggest that you have at least one of the below targets, preferably both:

- DT Nexus Transmissive Profiling Target (DT NTPT)
- DT Nexus Transmissive Validation Target (DT NTVT)
