A PC with a video capture card would work. Osprey, Digital Rapids, and Winnov cards are supported by all three. But in your case, for the proof of concept, you may be able to just use a TV tuner card so long as it provides some type of VFW or WDM video driver as an output of the TV station it is tuned to.

FYI - The iPhone's newest OS just started supporting live video.

Beyond that, you will find a lot of other choices for such things as course capture, LMS integration, conent management, etc..

If we want to stream to iPhone, what format does it need to be in? Should we be focusing on Quicktime then? How will I know if my Hauppauge card is supported?

Thank you SOO much for the quick reply. We've been dragging our feet on this for months and I'd like a quick win if possible.

So Quicktime Broadcaster is a Mac only application, which normally would be fine, but the EyeTV USB card we bought for our Mac, won't push video to anything, or at least that is what the MFR said. Can we use the Hauppauge card from Windows and push the stream to QTB?

I work at an educational institution that has relied upon Windows Movie Maker 2.1 (WMM2.1) on to capture and encode video streams on PCs running XP. Basically, we had a camera with a composite audio/video output that was then converted with a small USB analog/DV converter. WMM2.1 then recognized the video stream and then captured/encoded it to a WMV file. The end result was a WMV file at ~400Kbps that we could provide to our students.

Neither the version of WMM that comes with Vista (WMM6) nor the version MS released (WMM2.6) for those whose graphics cards didn't effectively run MM6 support video stream capture. It appears that this won't change under versions of WMM in Windows 7.

A detailed series of articles explains the differences between the various versions of WMM and how they run on XP/Vista/7. There's also an interesting description of how to install WMM2.1 on Vista that will permit video capture. However, it involves altering some DLLs. I'm not sure this will work for us across our 15 classrooms.

http://www.brighthub.com/multimedia/vide...22658.aspx

Our challenge is to find a way to capture (not import) and encode a video stream from our cameras to WMV using relatively easy-to-use software like WMM. At this point though I'm willing to entertain just about anything that will accomplish capturing/encodiing and then worry about how to train our students and faculty later.

If anyone has any experience capturing/encoding to WMV on Vista/7 I would really appreciate your input.

The answer will differ from one organization to another, but it will likely be comprised of three elements: 1) an understanding of the preferred workflow and interaction between departments and personnel - IT, communications, etc.; 2) an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the corporate network; and 3) a software application that will enable those preferred workflows, manage the utilization of network resources, and organize video assets to put the right content in front of the right people.

There are several providers bringing such solutions to the market, and my company is among them. I think this is an inevitable evolution as more corporations embrace video communications and quickly realize there are far-reaching issues that extend beyond mere content creation.

As I'm sure many are, we're laying low on the acquisition of expensive software systems right now, but we do have a need. I was wondering if anyone could help out.

We're in need of a very simple software or template package for an online video library. Our goal is to offer long-form seminar type videos, served from a Wowza streaming server. We're not really interested in content management or other such goodness, unless someone knows of a good open source or affordable systems that comes with those options, as we'd consider that simply a plus, but not the goal.

We just need to (quickly) churn out a video library of scientific seminars/courses/lectures and similar events.

Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Another issue to consider here which is often overlooked is that the people to be using the system need to be aware of how to work in an AV environment. If the presenter forgets to change the batteries in their microphone, or wanders back and forth in and out of the camera frame, then the whole capture experience goes downhill rapidly. Most capture systems won't give feedback to a novice presenter to remind them that their microphone is still muted after returning from a rest break.

A big issue I have with a number of these systems is if you need to archive material for any period of time, you need to consider how you are going to migrate any existing content when the time comes to upgrade/replace the system. If you are working with proprietary systems than the chances are the two will be using two entirely different formats both for data and metadata with no easy migration path, possibly locking you into one vendor, who may not provide the features you need further down the line. This is generally not a problem if you are only keeping material for 6 months or so.

Licensing terms can be another issue - I believe Echo360 (in their Apreso days) used to require a licence on a per 'classroom' type basis so if you were planning on switching feeds between multiple venues in the same building, you could find yourself having to purchase additional licence. Also it's worth checking upfront what happens to your content delivery if you don't renew your licence. So, read the small print.

Cost wise, hardware based systems appear to be overly expen$ive for what you actually get, and any which are based on PC's then there is the recurrent replacement cycle costs to consider and whether or not the PCI capture cards you bought today will fit in the PCIexpress machines of tomorrow, or whether you will need to replace it all with a new capture appliance. The first company to bring out a low cost hardware 'black box' type capture appliance is likely to steal the market.

Thanks for this pointer. Panopto looks very interesting for classroom capture applications.

The multiple camera support really hits the spot. Most teaching afterall involves more than just PowerPoint slides and not all whiteboards/flipcharts are interactive or will be.

Handling PowerPoint at object level as oppossed to a screen snapshot is nice. How does it cope with things like embedded video clips and animations which are becoming increasingly common in slide decks.

The ability to capture high quality data on the backend so as it can be reworked at a later date is very useful and sounds like it gets around a lot of content longevity issues.

The online editing ability is a nice feature as this is often overlooked by other products from an enterprise viewpoint. You may only have one capture system but you proably have several 100+ people that want to do post capture edits after using it.

The interactive notes are another plus, especially for feedback/collaborative work.

How does it work with the likes of desktop application capture though, which is a problem when presentations are 1024x768 or 1280x1024 and moving toward 1680x1050 which are just too large for SD video capture. Can it do large video at low frame rate to accommodate this ?

A lot of the classroom systems appear to assume that you are sending everything through a data projector, and that there are only two feeds - the presenter video and the data projector video. This may work well in the larger venues where everything has to be projected so that the people at the back can see it, however for the smaller academic venue, you can sometimes find five or six sources that need to be captured at different frame rates and resolutions.

Forcing presenters to project everything does open up some possibilities for digital ink type technologies though. If you can get your presenters to use a tablet instead of a flipchart or whiteboard, then you can capture it in vector format as digital ink. You can get very high resolution, at a very low bit rate.

Crestron have a nice dual touch presention panel which basically is a control panel, a computer display and a flipchart/overlay panel. Not sure if anyone has considered basing a classroom capture system around it.

The big issue I often see is that the data projector is seldom projecting just five bullet points per slide these days (which can be captured as a sequence of bitmaps and sync'd with the video). Instead there are embedded video clips and animations which require higher resolutions and framerates. There's also desktop sharing, where not only are there highly graphical desktops, but there are applications which require high resolution displays in order to cram all the menu bars in.

I agree with the point about faculty members. The institution may be keen to have all this content captured, but often the staff don't want to have anything to do with it. Unless the people using the system are 100% on board, then most automated classroom capture systems will fail.

Camera quality is the BIG concern now. Many of our rooms we try to capture the writing area not just a talking head. Dang near impossible!

We wanted live streaming capabilities which is coming in real handy with the H1N1 issues. But can seriously hit your bandwidth.

And their are many other issues we've gotten kicked around by. Which would have happened with any of the solutions. But, one thing to be aware of, it's not the number of potential students using your system you should be concerned about BUT the number of potential faculty members who will use it.

Users could get a security warning with either depending upon the e-mail filters set-up at each site. Not all mail clients will render html mark-up either, so linking from an image may not have the desired effect.

If you link via a web page, then it can give you more options for presenting associated content, especially stuff which you may find that you want to update after the e-mail is sent out.
