Rich Media Studio

The Rich Media Studio is the perfect entry-level solution for organizations wanting to broadcast and record content-rich meetings or lectures to viewers across campus or across the world.  The Rich Media Studio delivers the kind of compelling content viewers demand, making it easy to mix presentation material, such as PowerPoint slides, with a camera source.  It’s easy to show both a professor’s slides as well as their lecture, even their diagrams on the white board.  When your audiences expect more than a talking head but there isn’t time or money to have professional staff holding everyone’s hand; it’s time for VBrick’s Rich Media Studio.

The Cost Effective Solution for Lecture Capture and Webcasting

Combine the capabilities of a standard definition (SD) video streaming encoder, a digital video recorder, an audio mixer, a video switcher and a scan converter and put it into a reliable appliance and you have VBrick’s cost effective Rich Media Studio.

The Rich Media Studio provides superior quality content capture that can be used to capture an event or lecture, delivering a live broadcast or making a recording for on-demand playback.  Utilizing a single standard definition video input and xVGA/DVI inputs, Rich Media Studio allows you to capture and professionally blend video from a single video source (such as a video camera) with the screen of a PC.  The Rich Media Studio offers profession-level features such as titling, transitions and real time switching capabilities.  Make any conference room, classroom, boardroom or office into a cost effective full webcasting production studio.

Applications for the Rich Media Studio

Lecture Capture and Training
Instructors don’t want to be video technicians, they want to teach.  The Rich Media Studio's easy-to-use interface can be set-up with pre-configured “views or shots” so a professor can easily orchestrate the audience’s view; moving from a headshot to a document camera with the touch of a button.  Starting and stopping recording is just as easy.  Of course the unit’s portability makes it easy to share capabilities between locations, teams or departments.  

Meeting and Event Broadcasts
The Rich Media Studio makes it easier than ever to bring all production tools you need to any meeting location.  Add a camera, a laptop and a good presenter to make any location into a virtual studio.  The Rich Media Studio seamlessly manages the camera input as well as content from a computer screen; it’s easy to create a sophisticated broadcast that includes multiple shots and seamless transitions between content sources.
