Product description Designed for classrooms and lecture halls, the Epiphan Lecture Recorder x2 captures, combines, and records full HD and SD video and audio from multiple sources such as document cameras, lecture cameras, tablets, or any device with a VGA, DVI, or HDMI output.
Using the Lecture Recorder x2 you can create a library of on-demand videos for presentation. Allowing you to get a little more elaborate, the Lecture Recorder x2 also lets you place two streams in a picture-in-picture layout customized with your logo so remote and offline viewers feel like they are present for the lecture. Recording control can be done locally by the lecturer or scheduled through Epiphan's HTTP or RS-232 APIs.
Lecture Recorder x2 captures an HD video signal from sources such as computer with slides, and then streams the content to standard Internet browsers and media players. The streaming content can also be recorded to internal storage and network storage. Lecture Recorder x2 is easy to setup and use -- it does not require the use of a computer or any additional equipment and works straight out of the box. Simply power it on, plug in your sources, and press the on-device button to start recording. A straightforward web interface is available for custom configuration. - Key Features
