Resource Use Factor (RUF) Charts

Use the following charts to determine your Resource Use Factor (RUF) for Live Capture.
The charts provide the typical RUF for each codec.
The total of all of your concurrently active workflow Resource Use Factors must be less
than or equal to one (1) RUF, which is the maximum process handling load that you
should place on each Lightspeed Live server.
