RF supports membership and merchandise checkout through Stripe. Contact RF to complete merchant onboarding and confirm reader availability and setup for your venue.

Start with your room.

Set your table, TV and station counts. Download the equipment checklist, then size your recording storage. Payment reader quantities are selected separately for your checkout points.

Camera count alone doesn’t determine the recorder. Check bandwidth and usable storage, too.

Usable storage, including 25% planning allowance
Table cameras · 1032.4 TB
With security cameras · 1858.3 TB

46.7 TB video payload / 58.3 TB with allowance / 144 Mbps ingest while recording

Planning estimate, one video copy in decimal TB. Usable capacity is after RAID. Excludes separately stored RF copies, clips, audio and other data. Actual bitrate must be measured; the selected retention is an example, not a requirement.

How this is calculated

Cameras × Mbps × recording hours per day × retention days × 0.00045 = video payload in TB. Multiply by 1.25 for the planning allowance. Ingest is cameras × Mbps, before overhead or additional RF connections.

Connect it to RF.

Give this section to your installer. RF will confirm the setup for your deployed software and equipment.

Camera feeds, vision & clips

Connect each table camera to a managed PoE switch on a network that both the assigned RF table and security recorder can reach. Give it a stable IP address and a dedicated streaming account.

One camera. Two local recording paths.
  1. Enable a continuous H.264 RTSP stream. Start with a fixed resolution and 25/30 fps where supported, a 1–2 second keyframe interval, and approximately 8–16 Mbps. Adjust after checking the actual image quality.
  2. In RF, open Command Center → Hands → your table → Table controls → Recording. Configure the camera source as RTSP, enable it, and assign the intended vision camera the wide role.
  3. Calibrate the fixed view with real cards, chips and venue lighting. Check all seats, moving hands and chip stacks, plus recovery after a camera or network restart.
  4. Record a hand, render a clip, play it back and verify its storage delivery. Turn on Upload raw footage with the master if you also want RF to archive the source recordings remotely.

Axis, after creating an RF stream profile:rtsp://CAMERA_IP:554/axis-media/media.amp?streamprofile=RF

RF needs a readable view of the table, not just general room coverage. Security NVR recording and RF clip storage are separate. Keep the view fixed, test simultaneous NVR and RF connections, and retain RFID inputs for concealed cards.

TV pairing & content control
  1. Use the recommended ASUS NUC 15 Pro configuration with RF OS Display. Connect each player to its TV using HDMI and wired Ethernet. Select the RF HDMI input on the TV.
  2. Install RF OS Display and connect to your venue’s RF OS server. Register and name every screen by its physical location. For browser pairing, enter its six-digit connection code in the venue’s Displays controls.
  3. Choose each screen’s table status, tournament clock, seating, floor plan or other available RF view in operator-web.
  4. Configure automatic startup and AC power recovery, disable sleep and screensavers, and check that the screen retains its identity after reboot.

One player per TV enables independent content. An HDMI splitter mirrors the same output. Switching between RF and sports/cable also needs TV input control or a separate AV control system.

Receipt printing, card printing & scanning

Install the printer’s Windows driver and configure the Epson roll-paper profile to 80 × 200 mm, 100% scale, no browser headers or footers, and the appropriate cutter setting. The documented Epson profile has a 72 mm printable width.

Use USB HID keyboard mode on scanners, enable QR decoding, select a US keyboard layout and add an Enter suffix. Test a phone-screen QR code and an actual printed ticket in RF’s scanning field.

RF OS Client’s current silent-print workflow follows the OS default printer. Keep the Epson as the desk default; use deliberate printer selection or a separate issuance station/profile for Magicard jobs. Test duplex orientation and printed-code readability.

Keep thermal paper, spare cables, scanner stands, the correct Magicard ribbons, CR80 blank cards and cleaning kits in stock. Add a webcam and even lighting for player photos.

Stripe reader ordering & pairing
  1. Complete merchant onboarding with RF. Confirm the account, supported checkout workflow and country before ordering hardware.
  2. Choose an S710 for each handheld payment point or a T600 for each fixed counter. Order through Stripe for your RF-connected merchant account, adding the hub, dock or case needed for that reader.
  3. Connect the reader to Wi-Fi or use a Stripe Reader Hub for wired Ethernet. Keep the reader powered for software updates.
  4. Have RF register and pair the reader to the correct venue checkout, then verify the checkout workflow before opening.

Network essentials.

Your networking vendor should plan the room as a connected system, including storage and recovery.

Wired connections
Cat6 and power at every table, TV, desk and camera. Label both ends and allow ports for growth.
Managed switching
VLAN-capable switches, Gigabit endpoint links and a 10 Gb backbone for larger rooms. Size PoE from each device’s maximum load plus margin.
Camera access
Allow the assigned RF tables to reach camera RTSP services, normally TCP 554. Isolated NVR camera ports may need a different connection plan.
Separate traffic
Separate guest Wi-Fi, payment/business systems, RF tables, CCTV, displays and management. Give staff tablets surveyed Wi-Fi coverage.
Storage & power
Specify usable capacity after RAID, recording bitrate and retention. Provide a locked, ventilated rack, UPS backup and synchronized time.
