What can Lectopia record?

Lectopia is capable of recording from the following input sources:

  • Audio
  • Video
  • Visualiser
  • Screen Capture

Audio

The audio that is recorded is the same audio that comes through the speakers in the lecture theatre. For example, if you play a CD, video or audio cassette during the lecture, the audio from these devices will be recorded. Similarly the audio from all of the microphones provided is recorded (assuming the microphone is switched on).

Video / Visualiser

The video that is recorded is usually the same as that projected in the lecture theatre, except if you are projecting from a computer. For example, if you play a video or use the visualiser, the video from these devices will be recorded. Lectopia is also capable of recording video from a video camera source. For example, by connecting a video camera to the lecturn and pointing the video camera at the speaker, Lectopia can be used to record a talking head-style video lecture.

Screen Capture

The screen capture recording format captures everything that is projected from your computer screen during the lecture. When you arrive at the lecture venue, simply connect your laptop to the projection system as per normal and turn on a microphone. Screen capture allows you to record projected content such as PowerPoint presentations, web browsing activities and software demonstrations for the convenience of your students.

NOTE: in some venues, it is also possible to capture projected content when switching between the computer and the visualiser - please contact the Lectopia Team in the first instance to confirm that this capability is available in the designated lecture venue.
