Opencast
Opencast as an automated recording tool
With the Opencast system, the University of Bremen provides an infrastructure for automated recording and streaming of lectures and other events and their delivery in Stud.IP.
Currently, various rooms at the University of Bremen are equipped with permanently installed recording technology for Opencast. The technology includes a camera with zoom and pan function, a recorder for simultaneous recording of video camera, beamer signal and sound, and a media control system.
The media control touch panel is used to start, pause and stop recordings and to control the camera image via a selection of presets (lectern, panel 1, panel 2, stage, etc.).
Below we provide step-by-step instructions for scheduling and performing recordings.
