Capture Options and Requirements

Capture Devices

EchoSystem provides three capture options to encompass a diverse set of institutional capture needs. Each capture option is uniquely suited to certain capture venues and use models, some inside the classroom, some outside. The options are:

• Capture appliances
• Classroom Capture
• Personal Capture

Lecture Capture (in the Classroom)

The capture appliance and Classroom Capture options are best suited to capture inside the classroom. They both provide scheduled-driven capture essential for automated workflows and minimal faculty interaction. Each is unique in terms of supported capture sources and suitable deployment models.

Capture Appliances

The capture appliances are dedicated, all-in-one devices for the richest capture experience of all EchoSystem devices, capturing audio, video, and external VGA display sources. See Capture Appliance Deployment for detailed specifications and deployment considerations.

Classroom Capture

See Classroom Capture Software for details.

Personal Capture (Outside the Classroom)

The Personal Capture application is designed for installation on faculty or staff laptops (Windows and Mac). It provides a user-driven capture model inherent to a personal application. It cannot be scheduled like the other capture options and is therefore not recommended for installation within the classroom. Capture options include audio, webcam video and local screen. See Administer Personal Capture for detailed specifications and deployment considerations.
