What is Rich Media?
Rich media is a fully interactive, multi-view presentation experience comprised of full motion video and high quality audio, fully synchronized with visual content and immediately viewable as a live broadcast or on-demand. Rich Media can show any type of visual information from PCs/Macs, smartboards, document cameras, diagnostic equipment, visualizers and more.
Mediasite guaruntees crisp, clear visuals (including zoom) for even the most complex imagery. It also provides instant navigation to any point of the presentation using a visual index. User polls and Q&A panels are also integrated into the Mediasite experience.

What is Mediasite?
Mediasite is used in hundreds of courses in Colleges and Universities across the world. Instructors teach without technology getting in the way. Students get the advantage of seeing everything taught in the classroom from the convenience of their browser. For everything from recruitment to distance learning to professional development and research, Mediasite has proven to be the most versatile solution on campus.

The system digitally records both video of the instructor speaking and the data input from any VGA source (laptop, PC, document camera, etc.). Students and instructors can view the recordings from any computer connected to the internet.
