When you attach a USB camera to the podium PC, the system automatically detects the camera and selects it as the source for USB Input for video capture. The same is not true for USB microphones, however. You must manually select the external microphone as the Audio source , unless it is configured as the Windows default audio device. You can also select the USB camera for Audio input , if one is attached and it has a built-in microphone.

1. Where applicable, connect the USB source(s) to the Classroom Capture podium PC. To be sure you are using supported source devices, see supported USB-input devices.
2. Review the camera settings in the camera's vendor-supplied software and adjust if necessary. 
3. The camera application and Classroom Capture both need to communicate with the camera driver and will sometimes "talk" to the driver at the same time. If the camera application is talking to the driver, Classroom Capture cannot and captures fail. See Install USB Cameras for Classroom Capture for details on how to avoid this contention issue.
4. In the ESS, navigate to Configuration > Devices.
5. You should see your Classroom Capture devices in the Active devices list, as shown in the figure below. If you do not, be sure you have registered the Classroom Capture software.

6. In the Active devices list, hover over the device name and click edit. The Edit Devices page appears, including the Current Room Assignment section shown in the figure at the top of the page.
   

   

7. In the Current Room Assignment settings, review and edit the selections as follows: 
   
   1. Identify the Room (Campus, Building, and Room) where this Classroom Capture installation is located
   2. Use the License drop-down list to assign a Classroom Capture license to the room, if necessary.
   3. If necessary, select a Device Configuration from the drop-down list. You can probably leave this as the default (custom) setting.
   4. Select Capture Quality for the captures: 
      
      • Low  - This creates a capture with low-resolution video and display. The lower resolution keeps the final file size to a minimum. This is a good choice if there are bandwidth issues that may cause larger file uploads or capture playback to fail.
      • Medium - This is the default setting. It generates a capture with medium resolution video and display. This setting creates medium sized files for the recording. This setting is probably sufficient for playback on most devices.
      • High - This setting creates high-definition resolution for video and display. Consequently, this setting also creates very large files for these captures. Use this setting if you have visual details in the display or video of the capture that requires students to see the recording in very high resolution. Otherwise, this setting should be used sparingly, due to the time required to upload and process the completed capture. In addition, this setting uses significant computer resources; if the podium PC cannot process a high-quality capture properly, your capture may be blank. If you DO need to use the High Quality setting, run a test capture first, to be sure it will work.
        
        You may also want to refer to Configuring Quality Selection Settings - Advanced Users Only below.
        
        
8. Select up to three inputs for the device to capture. As noted above, you can capture A/D, A/V, A/D/V or A/V/V inputs at any given time.
   
   1. Audio is selected by default. All captures will include audio. Select the appropriate Source for the audio input.
   2. Display is selected by default but can be unchecked if appropriate. If Display is to be captured, select the appropriate Source for the display input.
   3. Secondary USB Input allows you to select an additional device for input, such as a second video camera for A/V/V recordings. If Secondary USB Input is selected, also select the appropriate Source for input.
   4. USB Input is selected by default if there is a camera attached to the device (either external or internal webcam). If using the USB Input for capture, select the Source for this input.
9. When finished with the Edit Device page, click Save.
