Duke

There are no charges to schools and departments to use DukeCapture software.  For automated recordings, OIT supports the use of standard PC appliances, and the cost of purchasing those is borne by individual schools and departments.  These appliances can be ordered directly via the Duke Computer Store.  For current pricing information view the following link:  http://epos1.sequoiars.com/ePOS?this_category=236&store=709&form=shared3%2fgm%2fmain%2ehtml&design=deptcomputers. 

In addition to the costs of the appliances, you may incur installation charges from your A/V integrator, and charges for equipment such as video cameras, microphones, Crestron control panels, and other devices that may be needed in the room.

For those who don't wish to purchase appliances, DukeCapture Mobile software is free and can be installed on Windows and Mac computers.  DukeCapture Mobile has similar features, but you cannot schedule recordings, and typically utilize consumer (i.e., USB) cameras and microphones instead of hardware installed in classrooms.

The only requirement for either DukeCapture Mobile or our scheduled service is that you have an idenitifed IT professional in your organization that will act as technical administrator assigned to support the users in your area. OIT does not offer any direct user support at this time - we will only support IT professionals in their support of their customers.

There are currently no charges for storage for DukeCapture; however, OIT reserves the right in the future to implement a chargeback policy.  Notice would be provided well in advance of any decision to begin charging for storage.

In order to add recordings created in DukeCapture to Blackboard or Sakai, add the link to either a folder (Rich Media) or RSS feed (vodcast only) for your Panopto course as an "External Link" into Blackboard as per the steps below. In both cases you would only need to do this once, and content will be automatically updated as new recordings are made.  Presentations will be playable from right within Blackboard.
