AKASO 360 Studio Insufficient Configuration Self-Check Manual

1. Preface

If you encounter issues such as 360 preview stuttering, loading failures, rendering errors, or functional abnormalities when using AKASO 360 Studio on your PC, it is highly likely that your device specifications do not meet the software's operating requirements. To efficiently identify the problem, you can conduct a self-check against the official hardware requirements below and submit the relevant information to our customer service team for prompt resolution.

2. Core Self-Check Items: Hardware & System Specifications

2.1 Processor (CPU)

Official Requirements

Self-Check Points

• Confirm the specific CPU model (e.g., Intel i7-10700K, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, Apple M1 Pro).
• Verify whether it meets the minimum/recommended requirements; outdated CPUs will directly cause slow 360 preview loading and rendering stuttering.

2.2 Random Access Memory (RAM)

Official Requirements

Self-Check Points

• Check the total RAM capacity of your PC and the memory usage when running AKASO 360 Studio.
• Insufficient RAM (below 8 GB) will cause preview crashes and failure to load HD/4K footage; it is recommended to use 32 GB or more RAM for 4K footage to ensure smooth performance.

2.3 Graphics Card & GPU Memory

Official Requirements

Self-Check Points

• Confirm the graphics card model (e.g., NVIDIA RTX 3060, AMD Radeon RX 6600, Apple M1 Max) and dedicated GPU memory capacity.
• If using an NVIDIA graphics card, ensure the driver version is released after January 2025; outdated drivers will impact rendering performance.
• Insufficient GPU memory will result in 360 screen blackouts, rendering interruptions, or software crashes.

2.4 Operating System

Official Requirements

Self-Check Points

• Confirm the system type (Windows/macOS) and specific version number (e.g., Windows 10 22H2, macOS 13 Ventura).
• Outdated system versions are prone to software compatibility conflicts, preventing the activation of hardware acceleration features.

2.5 Disk Space

Official Requirements

• At least 500 GB SSD storage (common for Windows & Mac).

Self-Check Points

• Confirm the remaining disk space where AKASO 360 Studio is installed; it is recommended to keep at least 20% free space to ensure read/write speed.
• Hard disk drives (HDD) will significantly slow down footage loading and rendering speed; SSD usage is recommended.

2.6 Software Version

Self-Check Points

• Confirm the full version number of AKASO 360 Studio (viewable in the software's "Settings-About" section).
• Outdated software versions may contain compatibility bugs and cannot support the latest 360 preview and hardware acceleration features.

2.7 Hardware Acceleration Requirements

Self-Check Points

• To use hardware acceleration encoding/decoding features, both the system version and graphics card model requirements must be met.
• If the conditions are not met, the relevant functions will be executed via software, resulting in a significant reduction in efficiency.

3. Submission Instructions

1. Please organize the results of the above self-check items and submit them to customer service; the more accurate the information, the faster the problem resolution.
2. If some specifications do not meet the requirements, you can first try upgrading hardware, updating system/graphics card drivers, or software versions to fix the issue independently.
3. After submission, we will provide you with exclusive optimization suggestions or solutions based on your device specifications.

4. Additional Notes

• Users with NVIDIA graphics cards: Be sure to update the driver to a version released after January 2025, otherwise it will severely impact AKASO 360 Studio's rendering performance.
• Users with 4K footage: It is strongly recommended to use the recommended configuration (32 GB RAM, 8 GB+ GPU memory), otherwise stuttering and crashing issues are highly likely to occur.
