What are Video Capture Classrooms?
Updated onArticleDuring Summer 2020, DLT installed over 100 General Access classrooms with simple Video Capture Classroom systems. These systems allow users to connect their laptops to the installed camera and mic through a USB interface. Once connected, users can record or videoconference using Kaltura Capture or Zoom software on their laptop.
Each room has an installed PTZ camera that can be adjusted using the included remote control. Users can set camera presets to quickly move the camera framing to different areas of the room. However, these cameras do not automatically track the subject. If your class needs close camera tracking, you may want to consider using DLT's Zoom Class Streaming service. For more information to see a description of this service, as well as other DLT support services that may be helpful to you in these classrooms, please visit our Video and A/V Services to Help you in the Classroom article.
These classrooms require a USB cable to connect to the capture system. USB and HDMI cables can be checked out from the DLT Service Desk in MLIB 1705. TLT can also checkout wireless USB lavalier mics to use with these systems. Lavalier mics may be a better audio option than the installed microphone for certain rooms.
- We recommend using a 6 ft. USB 2.0 cable with these systems for best results. Also, plugging in your laptop power supply may be required for your laptop to register the camera.
- During Summer 2023, USB inputs in these classrooms will be swapped out with the USB-B 2.0 style input. These cables will be available for checkout at the DLT Service Desk in MLIB 1705.

What is the picture-in-picture feature for my video in My Media in Canvas?
Updated onArticleYou may watch videos in a floating Picture in Picture (PiP) window which is always on top of other windows, even if the tab is switched. This feature allows users to continue consuming media while they interact with other content sites.
The Picture in Picture feature also works when a user scrolls down on a webpage past the video they are watching. For example, a user may continue watching a video while continuing to scroll through news articles or could switch to their email or text messaging app and respond to an email or text message, without having to pause the video.
Videos uploaded to your My Media and Media Gallery have automatically been updated to the new video player featuring the Picture-In-Picture feature. Videos embedded before March 11, 2024 will need to be re-embedded where they are located for the Picture-In-Picture feature to appear for viewers.
