Centralized fleet management

Recording units in an EasyCast Campus setup are managed remotely from a single Web control panel, called Campus Manager. It offers command planning, remote unit restarting and updating and remote control over one or more units. This admin interface is a powerful and complete tool for managing an entire EasyCast Campus solution.

Automatic presenter framing

When used in fixed locations, EasyCast can autonomously frame a presenter in movement by detecting his/her face, torso and movements. EasyCast creates dynamic videos without requiring any manipulation.

Centralized post-production

Essential post-production operations are easily done directly on the EasyCast interface : redefinition the beginning/end of a recording and removing moments within a recording.

RS232 control

For effective integration within equipped rooms, EasyCast Campus recording units are by default controlled via the RS232 serial protocol (start/stop recording, restart unit, publish content to a specific location, etc.). This guarantees seamless recording and minimum hassle for the presenter, who only has a Start/Stop button – when recording aren't planned.
