Manually Recording with an Epiphan Pearl

Learn how to manually perform an unscheduled recording in some spaces equipped with lecture capture on campus.

Several spaces on campus (typically larger venues) are equipped with lecture capture using an Epiphan Pearl rack-mounted recorder. Typically recordings are scheduled through acit_video@colby.edu. However, if you prefer to perform your own ad-hoc recording, some spaces do accommodate for that.

1. Locate the Pearl recorder
    
2. On the touch panel, press the Calendar icon.
    
3. Click Create Event.
    
4. Enter your 8-character Colby ID. No password is required. Then click Next.
    
5. Confirm your name, and click Next.
    
6. Enter event details, if desired. Notably, Duration (displayed in minutes) should be adjusted accordingly. Press Start when ready to being recording.
   
    
7. The next screen indicates that a recording is taking place. You can add time if needed, stop the event early, and preview camera feeds.
    
8. When the session has concluded, it is best practice to log out. Follow Steps 2 and 3, and then click on Logout (as seen in Step 5).
9. Your recording will upload to Kaltura and can be accessed in My Media.
