METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFECTIVELY CAPTURING A TRADITIONALLY DELIVERED CLASSROOM MAKING IT AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW OVER THE INTERNET

摘要

Systems and methods are provided to record classroom instruction with high production values, using networks and operators provided by the university, corporation, or other customer. Two or more video cameras are deployed in the classroom, one assigned to the instructor and others assigned to the audience or students. The instructor wears a wireless microphone, and in some embodiments, an emitter of positional information. In some embodiments, two receivers of the positional information enable the instructor video camera to follow the instructor automatically. Video and audio signals are sent over a network to an operator computer, where the operator provides intelligent cuts between the various video cameras, monitors audio levels, and manually controls the video and audio devices in the classroom, the result being a level of production values heretofore unavailable without resort to an expensive setup with highly trained, in-class video professionals.
