1) SOLE Panopto Integration

HSC ITS will update our classroom and remote lecture capture application from TechSmith Relay (formerly known as Camtasia) to the Panopto Video Platform. Panopto will record lectures in a similar manner and maintain previous, popular features such as auto-linking and speed settings. Previously recorded TechSmith Relay (Camtasia) lectures will remain available in courses. All newly recorded lectures in 2019 will be created utilizing Panopto. As of December 27, 2018, no further TechSmith Relay recordings will be processed and posted in SOLE.

Panopto will provide functionality such as:
- Launching the recorder within SOLE
- Cloud-based storage
- Multi-camera recording
- Multi-screen recording
- Auto launch/recording for PowerPoint
- Machine/Auto closed-captioning capability
- Fully indexed slides for search
- Video editing
- and more...

A brief demonstration video is available.
