How to Record a Video Lecture in the BMC 1.202 Lecture Hall.

This page will show you how to record a video of your lecture in the BMC 1.202 Lecture Hall. All of these solutions are relatively untested so we will be recording (3) versions simultaneously so that if something messes up you'll have alternate recordings / backups.

Recording 1: MP3 Audio Recorder in AV Rack

Connect a USB stick to the iKey RM3 audio recorder in the rack and press record. All audio from the classroom's microphones as well as the Crestron AV system will be mixed and recorded. The resulting MP3 file can be uploaded after class to Box, Canvas, etc.

Recording 2: MP4 Video Recorder in AV Rack

Connect a USB stick to the Crestron Capture HD recorder in the rack and press record. All video sent to the Left projector / teacher's monitor will be captured. This means that laptop, PC, doccam, etc will all be available for recording. All audio from the classroom's microphones as well as the Crestron AV system will be mixed and recorded. 

The resulting MP4 file can be uploaded after class to Box, Canvas, etc.

Insert a USB flash drive into the Crestron Capture HD recorder
Press the RECORD button.       After a few seconds, ensure that the elapsed time is advancing.
When the lecture is over, press the STOP button     The file will be processed and the file will be saved to the USB flash drive     (do not remove the USB flash   drive until the file has   finished processing and recorder says DONE)

Recording 3: Laptop Screen Record

record laptop content using Snagit software screen recorder (https://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html). Connect an 1/8" audio cable between the teaching console powersphere and your laptop which will route all audio from the classroom's microphones as well as the Crestron AV system into the recording software. All content shown on the laptop will be recorded (but not other AV content like the Doccam, classroom PC, etc) along with the microphone feeds.

The resulting MP4 file can be uploaded after class to Box, Canvas, etc.

When Snagit launches click on the CAPTURE button
The record console will launch and you can now click the RED Capture button or use a keyboard shortcut to start a recording
