Chou Hall features advanced lecture capture capabilities including four automated cameras, the ability to capture two simultaneous video streams and integration with Panopto, the video content management tool inside bCourses.

Lectures are captured routinely for programs such as EWMBA & MFE. If you are teaching a course in one of these programs, or if you have specifically arranged for your class session to be recorded, the automated system will be prescheduled to record. You'll notice the red "Record" indicator (shown below) on the Crestron control screen.

You can also record your lecture on-demand by following the directions below.

You have two lecture recording options available for you in the classroom, a static 'White Board Only' recording option and a dynamic 'Auto' recording option. Below are instructions on how to setup both recording options, as well as information on which option would be best suited for your course.

WHITE BOARD ONLY

With the White Board Only option the camera remains static and records the front of the classroom without moving. This option is recommended for classroom sessions when no content is being displayed from the lectern PC or your personal laptop.

Enter your PIN code to login. If you haven’t been assigned a PIN, don’t worry, simply select “I don’t have a PIN” to start quickly. You can obtain a PIN by visiting Teaching & Event Services (TES).

Locate and select the Camera option from the menu bar.

Select the 'White Board Only' option.

Select the 'Rec' button.

The recording window will open allowing you to select your recording options. Press the 'Record' button to begin recording. The button will turn red and display the to you Recording' if it is actively recording your classroom.

Press the 'Pause' button during an active recording to pause the recording. Press the 'Pause' button again to resume recording.

Press the 'Stop' button to completely stop the recording.

Press the 'End Meeting' to button to end your session. It is best practice to stop your recording before ending your session, but ending a meeting during an active recording will also stop the recording.

AUTO RECORDING OPTION

With the Auto recording option the camera will dynamically move and follow the instructor where they move in the classroom. This option is recommended for classroom sessions when content is being displayed from the lectern PC or your personal laptop. The content being displayed will be included in the recording, along side the instructor's classroom lecture.

If you would like to display content and have it appear in your recording, choose the source you would like to display (PC or Laptop).

See the Selecting Multiple Display Outputs guide for more detailed information about displaying content in the classroom. The last source you choose will be included in the video recording.

Locate and select the Camera option from the menu bar.

Select 'Auto' to have the camera follow you as your move around the classroom and teach your course.

Select the 'Rec' button.

Press the 'Pause' button during an active recording to pause the recording. Press the 'Pause' button again to resume recording.
