Mediasite doesn&#8217;t have those. You create folders named after terms or courses. You can create subfolders. You create templates. You create schedules. Then you get a catalog which represents the recordings for a given class. Then you create an LTI integration which point to that folder. (Honestly it never really makes sense to me but it doesn&#8217;t have to. It&#8217;s easy. It&#8217;s repeatable. It works. That&#8217;s all that matters.) Both systems are equally flexible. You just have to think about how you want your content and recording structured and organized.<\/li>\n<li>The Mediasite recorder is a full computer and takes up 3U of space at the lectern. Echo360 was 1U. Not a problem for us. Once you get the system installed and running, most of the configuration can be done from a web console. You can even remotely monitor what the device is recording. Since it is a PC running Windows, it has the same vulnerabilities as a Windows box. Of course the greatest vulnerability is a user on the machine and that isn&#8217;t an issue here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>One other note. The recording appliance has a power button on the front. You know what pushing that button would do? Shut down the computer. We went into control panel and disabled that option. <strong>I haven&#8217;t tried <em>but my guess<\/em>\u00a0is that pushing and holding for 4 seconds will shut that sucker down!<\/strong> If it goes production\u00a0I&#8217;m putting a vented cover over the front since the system is accessible to the end user.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The UI is much better on Mediasite. Not just the admin stuff either. The player interface is much nicer. The editing tools are more robust and more user friendly. I suspect that the 2 companies are going to be much more\u00a0competitive in 6-9 months but that&#8217;s currently where things stand.<\/p>\n<p>Quite frankly I was amazed that I was able to get one lecture capture system up and running in three weeks given the infrastructure and notorious headaches\u00a0I&#8217;ve encountered integrating stuff around here.<\/p>\n<p>When I remember that I actually did two lecture capture systems in three weeks, I feel all powerful!<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.nd.edu\/ndedtechguy\/files\/2014\/02\/Aladdin3192.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-120\" alt=\"Aladdin3192\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.nd.edu\/ndedtechguy\/files\/2014\/02\/Aladdin3192-300x168.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/ndedtechguy\/files\/2014\/02\/Aladdin3192-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/ndedtechguy\/files\/2014\/02\/Aladdin3192-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/ndedtechguy\/files\/2014\/02\/Aladdin3192.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not recommending you try it though.
