Effortless Capture

Seamless hardware-based lecture capture

Rather than relying solely on a desktop computer’s software, the Hardware Hub sits directly in your room’s audio/video rack to manage high-definition recording and live streaming automatically. It can capture multiple video, audio, and screen sources, pre-record lectures, and provide scalable live streaming with multi-bitrate support for live lectures.

Fleet Management

Enhanced fleet management capabilities

The Devices Panel provides a unified view of Hardware Hub units, enabling administrators to view the live status of every Hardware Hub appliance with video and audio previews across all campus rooms. The panel also includes capabilities to remotely create custom profiles, update configurations remotely through a modal, and adjust recording settings.
