  • Do It Yourself (DIY) recordingset: fixed set on location

    Lecturers can use this equipment to record knowledge clips and lectures. It comprises a fixed array with camera, lamp and microphone. Using the Kaltura Capture app, you can create do-it-yourself recordings.
    No additional equipment required.


    Booking

    If a DIY recording set is installed in a BOL lecture hall, this space, including the equipment, can be booked in the same way as a room booking via BOL. This is usually done via the faculty staff responsible for the timetables.
    If a DIY recording set is installed in a faculty space, then booking the space, including the equipment, is done via the secretariats that would normally also handle the booking of these rooms.

    Start-up support is available on request or ad-hoc in case of AV issues via the Facility Service Desk, (020 525) 1403 or servicedesk-fs@uva.nl.
