What kind of equipment is needed for SEMA?

Graphics cards, RAM, monitors & co - what technology do you need for SEMA?

Technology is making rapid progress, but you don't need to buy a premium PC to work with SEMA.

 

              • In short:

                - SEMA does not place excessive demands on PC hardware

                - An up-to-date computer and Windows 11 as operating system is sufficient

                - A better computer does not automatically lead to faster work

                - We recommend a second screen

                - You can find the exact hardware requirements here

 

 

We receive a number of questions about laptops, monitors etc. time and again, which is why we would like to address them individually:

 

Laptops

SEMA runs stable and smoothly on laptops. Werecommend a separate graphics card.

 

Tablets:

In principle, SEMA can also be run on tablets, but there are a few points to bear in mind:

- the performance of tablets quickly reaches its limits
- Windows 11 or higher should be installed as the operating system
- We recommend a separate graphics card
- not every processor is suitable. We regularly update the findings from internal tests, which can be found below the table with the minimum requirements

Screen:

Even though SEMA can be displayed on almost any screen , we recommend using one, or preferably two, large, high-quality monitors. If you work on a poor monitor for a long time, you will get tired more quickly and work less effectively - and it's not healthy either!

 

Docking station

Working with a docking station is possible without any problems. In individual cases, it may be necessary to connect the screens directly to the laptop.

 

Apple and virtual machines:
We clearly recommend working with Windows 11 or higher and a physical PC. We focus our developments on this software environment and assume no responsibility for solutions outside this framework.

 

And what is an up-to-date computer?
IT experts and craftsmen may have different opinions here. To avoid misunderstandings, only clear facts will help, or in this case: a look at the minimum requirements on our homepage.
