Professional video hardware for universities, colleges, schools and training providers across the UK. Lecture capture, hybrid teaching, campus-wide NDI distribution and automated recording — all over standard IT infrastructure.
Universities, colleges, schools and training providers across the UK have invested heavily in video infrastructure since 2020. Lecture capture, hybrid learning, campus distribution and automated recording are now standard requirements — and the demand is growing, not shrinking.
Magewell hardware is deployed across UK and international educational institutions and is increasingly the specification of choice for IT and AV teams — primarily because it is maintainable by IT generalists, works with existing platforms like Panopto, Kaltura and Zoom, and scales from a single lecture theatre to a full campus NDI network without changing vendor.
The core lecture capture challenge is capturing two simultaneous sources — the presenter on camera and the presentation on screen — and delivering them to your lecture capture platform or recording system. Magewell USB Capture devices handle this cleanly from a single USB-connected capture workstation.
Hybrid teaching demands higher video quality and lower latency than a laptop webcam can provide. A professional PTZ camera captured via a Magewell USB device delivers broadcast-quality video into Zoom or Teams with no drivers, no configuration and no compatibility issues — even on IT-managed devices.
For institutions deploying NDI-based infrastructure, the Pro Convert IP to USB is particularly valuable: it converts an NDI stream from the campus network into a USB webcam device recognised by Zoom, Teams and lecture capture software — without requiring any NDI software installation on the managed PC.
Universities and large colleges need to distribute live video across campuses — lecture theatre feeds to overflow rooms, live events to digital signage screens, external broadcast feeds to media departments. Magewell NDI infrastructure supports all of these over standard Ethernet with no dedicated video cabling.
Many institutions require a local recording of every lecture as a matter of policy — for accessibility, for students who miss sessions and for compliance. The Magewell Ultra Encode AIO is a hardware encoder that records to standard file formats while simultaneously streaming to a lecture capture platform — and supports scheduled recording so sessions record automatically without any manual intervention.
