Accordent Capture Station

Accordent Capture Station

Accordent introduces Capture Station, the first hardware solution to combine the ease and portability of a capture appliance with the scalability, searchability, and flexibility of webcast presentations. Offered as a fully integrated system, the Accordent Capture Station seamlessly records and synchronises audio, video and data output from any presentation device (notebook PC, document camera, smart board, etc.) and instantly turns it into an online rich media presentation. The Accordent Capture Station enables presenters to create rich media presentations with streaming audio and video enhanced with synchronized images captured from virtually any VGA input device. In addition to standard PC and laptop inputs, the Accordent Capture Station can also capture images, such as schematics, medical images, and complex diagrams, from any VGA-enabled device, including document cameras, projectors, and electronic whiteboards.

Features Include:

  • Unsurpassed Ease of Use - Simply connect your video camera and PC (or other content device) to Capture Station and you are ready to capture your presentation for live broadcast or on demand viewing. Just present your information as you otherwise would and Capture Station will do the rest, including capturing audio and video content and all of the visual information shown on your PC. When you are done, the Capture Station has saved a copy of your presentation that can be edited and made searchable within a content management system.
  • Capture and Synchronise Content - The Accordent Capture Station can synchronize and publish any visual image, including:
    - All files shared or projected on-screen during a presentation
    - All images captured via a document camera or smart board
    - All files shared during a video conference
    - All images from a RGB/VGA output
  • Support for the Leading Video Codecs - Presenters can publish live using Windows Media or Real Media, and then publish on demand in multiple bit rates of Real Media and/or Windows Media. The MPEG-4 codec is also available for live or on demand publishing with an integrated solution featuring Vbrick’s EtherneTV.
  • One-Click Live Broadcasts - The Capture Station is designed to bring a presentation beyond the walls of a classroom or conference room with the click of a button. Simply select a customisable interface, add optional descriptive information about the presentation - such as speaker name, content description and date - and click Start. It’s that easy.
  • Automatic Publishing to Third Party Learning Management Systems. Publish directly to third party content and learning management systems, including the Blackboard Learning System, to fully leverage the value of your content.
  • Automate and Remotely Manage the Presentation Capture Process. Administrators can schedule the Capture Station to automatically start and stop the capture process at predetermined intervals with the Accordent Event Scheduling & Notification Module. Integration with leading room control and automation products from AMX™ and Crestron™ allow users to control the capture process from touch screen control panels.
  • Extend Presentation Value - Once a presentation has been created, it can be published to a custom content portal, and be categorised by the type of content or by date. Viewers may access content directly or utilise Accordent’s sophisticated search technology to access content from a custom content portal. Search queries can include: presenter names and titles, content descriptions and dates.
  • Presentation Editing - The Capture Station also allows a presenter to edit their live presentation before publishing it on demand. These editing features include:
    - Adding or removing images
    - Changing the timing of synchronised images
    - Adding, removing or editing chapter timings within the presentation.

Additional Capabilities

  • Create and/or customise the presentation interface to promote unique branding and messaging.
  • Three-year onsite warranty ensures that hardware will be fixed or replaced at no additional cost.
  • Remotely start and stop a presentation from any internet ready computer, provided there is a VGA cable that connects the Capture Station with the presenting computer.
