With our latest release, Echo360 now supports four capture cards that allow recording external video or audio sources from Windows computers installed with Echo360 Universal Capture . This capability allows institutions to leverage their existing hardware investments on campus. It also gives IT purchasers greater flexibility to choose hardware that fits their budget while satisfying the requirements of the wide range of classroom capture applications.

Capture cards can be used to record from external video or audio sources. Each channel of a capture card with multiple input options can be used to record a video or audio input. Users can use capture cards from their classroom PC installed with Universal Capture to capture images from document cameras, high-definition video, or audio recordings.

All the capture cards supported in our recent release have undergone rigorous testing, consisting of 234 distinct resolution and capture tests. Our comprehensive testing procedures ensure that we have a proven process for vetting 3rd-party hardware and that it will be able to operate at scale with Echo360 capture and processing software.

The table below lists capture cards currently supported by Echo360. Users should refer to the manufacturer’s website for detailed features and complete specifications.
