Conference Hardware For Video and Audio Capture



When searching for a solution for capturing, recording, broadcasting, and archiving of physical or video conferencing, using the right hardware is of paramount importance. Although there are many companies offering their services for recording lectures, seminars and conferences, it itself can be challenging without the proper hardware and software.

Of course, high-end solutions such as Sonic Foundry Medias have been in business for a long time and will certainly do the job if you are willing to pay the price, but the recording lectures should not include pay astronomical fees for installation and maintenance on top of all the paper equipment to buy.

conferencing hardware consists of three main components: the capture hardware, network infrastructure, and spremišta.Hvatanje hardware consists of a frame grabber is used to convert the VGA or DVI feed of the speakers or laptop computer to a digital format that can be to record or broadcast on the web. Furthermore, a device for recording and digitizing analog audio feed from the microphone and video presentations feed itself. While most of this hardware is extremely expensive devices such as a lecture recorder in retail for a reasonable price and easy to setup and maintain.

In order to capture the hardware to send a digital version of a lecture to the audience on the Internet or the server that lecture notes can be stored, the network infrastructure must be in place. For most of the frame grabber-based devices, 100 Megabit or Gigabit Ethernet network is sufficient, and a separate channel is needed.

Finally, the repository consists of a server, usually FTP to archive all data sent to him from the lecture recorder or capture hardware. Users are then able to access the recordings via the Internet.

budget to equip the hall or room usually should not exceed $ 3000 and some devices on the market, retailing at $ 1000 - $ 2000 price range, and recording and broadcasting options that can be used even in high-precision military and medical of applications.

  1. A very good overview on hardware components of video conferencing. Although newly introduced video conferencing software has claimed that it is cheaper than hardware systems, we can rely on Hardware conferencing systems. To the end number of participants can join one single conference as we need to install codec box for each of the location.

    The beauty of this conferencing is distance can be removed by one click whether you are in office or client location.
