How To Record A Classroom Lecture / Single Stream
You can easily record a classroom lecture, including the material shown to classroom
students on a projector. In this example, we will use Streamsie on a Discover Video
Spirit-3 computer. You could also use our own computer with Streamsie and a
Captiva video input device.
Connect a camera to the encoder using HDMI or composite video
Optionally, mount the camera on a PTZ device that will track the instructor or
speaker. Connect the base unit audio to the camera so that the speaker's
voice is picked up by the "marker" unit that the instructor wears.
Connect the VGA, DVMI, or HDMI signal that normally goes to the projector to
the encoder via a splitter (if needed) so that the signal goes to both the
projector and the encoder.
Configure Streamsie PC for the desired template. If there is no operator to
change this "on-the-fly", select side-by-side or Picture-in-Picture where the
projector image is dominant (assuming that is the important part of the
lecture).
Ensure the audio is adequate. You may wish to use a wireless microphone
connected to the camera, or in small rooms the camera microphone may be
sufficient.
Enter the Streamsie PC account credentials and connect to DEVOS.
Now that the system is set up, you may record a lecture three ways:
Manually -- simply select Record (or File Capture) to start recording and Stop
to end. Upload the video when done, or configure Streamsie for automatic
upload.
Remotely -- Log in to DEVOS and navigate to Encoders / Remote Encoders.
You may remotely control start and stop recording.
Scheduled -- Log in to DEVOS and navigate to Schedule Streams. Create a
scheduled start and end date/time. At the start time, the Streamsie will start
streaming live and the video will be recorded on the DEVOS server (but not
locally on the Spirit-3 computer). At the end of the schedule, the recording
will stop and the video will be available for on-demand viewing a few
moments later. You can log in and edit the title, description, etc. at any time.
