1. Recording and Broadcasting of Enriched Media Courses Cédric Bontron, Benoît Burdet January 13, 2010

2. Initial Situation @ Unige Existing centralized audio and video capture based on hardware capture cards (Optibase) Existing uncentralized audio capture Unautomated file upload and metadata completion Audio and Video capture

3. Initial Aims Makes a complete enriched media recording and broadcasting system available This system allows a speaker to record and archive the whole media: Audio, video and VGA signals Fully automatic capture Automatic upload and metadata completion Human validation & if needed metadata enrichment

4. Constraints Teacher has nothing to do in the room No human resources are needed to produce, edit and catalog the courses Buildings (uncentralized signals in some cases)

5. New Global Workflow for 2010

6. Room Hardware

7. Software New scheduler in order to manage 3 differents capture systems (1 interface per building) Automatic script for file uploading and metadata completion Adaptation of Mediaserver public catalog to broadcast new formats Interface for validating file content and metadata

8. Complete Architecture

9. Specificities Automatic courses capture and cataloging No human resources are needed for capture Requires an installed files validation workflow Requires a good communication between all actors (teacher, technician, content validator)

10. Specificities Uncentralized solution Disadvantages A lot of distributed hardware to maintain Human needs to control room hardware Advantages Economic (~1700 CHF/Room) Doesn't require centralized signals (e.g. old buildings)

11. Statistics Audio vs Richmedia Recordings (2009-2010 Winter Semester) - UNI MAILUNI BASTIONSCMU Audio106353474 RichMedia28848240

12. Next Steps Software Video editor (soon) Plugins for LMS (dokeos, moodle) content integration (soon) Export modules (e.g. Youtube) Hardware Equipment for 130 rooms or auditoriums (Law Project)
