User Experience
Producer:
Teachers may use Capturer in two different ways. It can either be easily controlled by the technical
staff, or by the actual teacher who, once he or she understands how to employ the interface, will find
it easy to use as it provides instantaneous feedback of what is being recorded. The producer ends up
with a single video ready to use as soon as the recording stops.
Technical Staff:
When used by technical staff, the Capturer can exploit client tools like a remote desktop (VNC) to
integrate with remote terminals. Experienced staff can produce very good compositions with little
effort, resulting in a good layout for end users.
Publisher:
Since the video is a single stream, publishing it can be done using any video hosting provider (e.g.
YouTube). The video can be uploaded in its original format or be transcoded.
Hot Topics
It is important to emphasise that Capturer is the recording module of TAU’s end-to-end academic
courses and events. Capturer can easily be ingested into other end-to-end academic video recording
solutions like Matterhorn, gaining the benefits of its sophisticated video processing features. TAU’s
end-to-end recording / production workflow not only includes Capturer but also a Joomla-based CMS
(developed by TAU).The CMS also automatically disseminates the recordings to YouTube including
metadata. An increasing number of features are incorporated in Capturer with every release, as the
software integrates continuously developing software produced by open source communities such as
VideoLan (VLC). The course recordings are completely integrated within TAU databases for metadata
and access rights management.
