Opencast

We have reconfigured the system to provide easier access to Opencast technology for lecture recordings. A presence-based training like before is no longer necessary. Feel free to take a look at the updated instructions. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send an email to: opencastprotect me ?!elearning.uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de

Thanks to WhisperAI, we now have the capability to automatically subtitle all Opencast recordings, including translation into English/German. The subtitles are of very high quality and can even recognize specialized terminology without any issues.

With the Opencast system, the University of Bremen provides an infrastructure for automated recording and streaming of lectures and other events and their delivery in Stud.IP.

Currently, various rooms at the University of Bremen are equipped with permanently installed recording technology for Opencast. The technology includes a camera with zoom and pan function, a recorder for simultaneous recording of video camera, beamer signal and sound, and a media control system.

The media control touch panel is used to start, pause and stop recordings and to control the camera image via a selection of presets (lectern, panel 1, panel 2, stage, etc.).

Below we provide step-by-step instructions for scheduling and performing recordings.

In this video tutorial we show the most important aspects of Opencast at the University of Bremen.

Also remember to turn on the microphone!
