Automatic speaker 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.

Simplified post-production

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

VGA capture and indexing

  • Webinar (audio, video, slides): full resolution JPEG capture upon slide change and automatic creation of an index
  • Double  Video (audio, video, presentor screen) : data input at 25 images/sec (up to 1920*1080px). Example above
  • Screencast (audio and slides) : data input at 25 images/sec (up to 1920*1080px)

Metadata extraction

EasyCast automatically extracts slide titles and keywords (using Optical Character Recognition) of captures slides. This information is used to chapterize the video and feed a search engine.
