The editor lets you edit multiple streams simultaneously. Process Opencast workflow definitions are highly configurable.
From branding, to thumbnails, to detailed encoding settings, most common video edits are accessible out of the box. Rights management Fine grained viewing and editing permissions are built in, and can be adjusted easily in the admin interface.
Player By default Opencast uses the Paella Player. The Paella Player is a modern video player capable of playing multiple streams at the same time. This player was designed for the playback of lecture recordings. It supports the typical lecture capture and video management phases: preparation, scheduling, capture, media processing, content distribution and usage.
The picture below depicts the supported phases. These phases are also major differentiators in the system architecture. Additional information is available in [ 2 ]. Opencast Matterhorn phases of lecture recording. The core components are build upon a service-based architecture leveraging Java OSGI technology, which provides a standardized, component oriented environment for service coupling and cooperation [ 1 ], [ 2 ].
Matterhorn comes with tools for administrators that allow to plan and schedule upcoming lectures as well as monitor different processes across distributed Matterhorn nodes. Finally content player components engage applications are provided which allow to synchronize different streams e. Matterhorn 2GO is a cross-platform open source mobile front-end for recorded video material produced with the Opencast Matterhorn system [ 3 ]. It can be used on Android or iOS smartphones and tablets.
The core technology used is Apache Flex. It brings lecture recordings and additional material created by Opencast Matterhorn to mobile learners worldwide. A user can choose between three different video view state options: a parallel view professor and corresponding synchronized slides or screen recording , just the professor or only the lecture slides.
Duke was involved in early discussions in Opencast received financial backing of the Hewlett and Mellon Foundations, and assembled thirteen partner institutions led by UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich and built Opencast Matterhorn, a suite of open source software to produce, manage and distribute academic audio and video content, especially lecture recordings. When you set up a recording, you assign it a specific set of processing instructions output resolution, frame rate, etc.
TheRec also offers a VU-Meter to show audio levels. The Extron SMP hardware appliance is reviewed in this survey. In a major new version was released version 2. Since our last survey, Opencast solidified its relationship with the Apereo foundation, which sponsors Sakai among other open source initiatives. The Apereo foundation was formed in with the merger of Jasig and the Sakai foundations and is dedicated to open technologies with a non-exclusive focus on academia.
Duke attended the Open Apereo conference in June, , where the partnership with Opencast was featured.
