Extended Abstract: 

In this session the attendees will learn how to set up and integrate a lecture capture appliance into any open Video Management System (VMS) or Lecture Management System (LMS) in order to display content in a variety of layouts. Participants will also learn how to use the device’s user interface to easily define profiles for live streamed and recorded lectures by mixing camera and presentation material from SDI and HDMI sources. As well, information will be given on how to use an API to create a tailored user interface for controlling the device.
