Lecture capture deployments require hardware that works reliably without technical support in the room. Magewell capture devices are trusted by universities and further education institutions across the UK for their plug-and-play operation, broad software compatibility and consistent performance across large-scale deployments.
USB Capture devices integrate seamlessly with all major lecture capture platforms including Panopto, Kaltura, Echo360 and Mediasite — appearing as standard USB video devices that recording software recognises automatically. For lecture theatres with existing HDMI or SDI infrastructure, Magewell USB Capture devices slot into the signal chain without requiring modifications to room systems. Where centralised recording is preferred, Pro Capture PCIe cards installed in a central server can capture signals from multiple rooms simultaneously, with Capture Express software providing a straightforward recording interface for academic staff. The Ultra Stream range provides a self-contained alternative for seminar rooms and smaller teaching spaces — recording directly to USB storage while simultaneously streaming to institutional video platforms.
