Panopto Focus is a flexible and easy-to-use presentation capture platform that lets users capture, edit, stream, archive and share recordings that preserve critical knowledge.

This rich media video capture software solution is available as licensed software for enterprises or individuals. It can be installed locally behind your organization’s firewall or accessed online through Panopto servers as part of our Panopto Focus Hosted service.

This flexibility minimizes the technical barriers for adoption and reduces the cost of scaling the solution across an enterprise.

	Easy to Use Panopto Focus recordings capture streaming video, audio, PowerPoint and screen capture components to create presentations that users can search, reference and review on-demand from any location. Panopto Focus recordings also empower users to upload related PDF files to ensure all critical information is included within recordings.
	Unmatched Scalability Panopto Focus’ architecture distributes its capture, edit, stream and archive processes across any number of endpoints to eliminate single points of failure and reduce the cost of scaling system capacity. Panopto Focus can record multiple streams simultaneously from one computer, including streams from your camera, microphone or computer screen.
	Flexible Scheduling Users can record presentations manually or schedule them to begin and end without human intervention to streamline the video capture process.
	Live Broadcast Capabilities Panopto Focus’ live broadcast feature empowers users to capture streaming video, audio, PowerPoint and screen components as they happen, as well as record these presentations for later viewing. Viewers can ask questions with Panopto Focus’ live text feature for instant communication.
	Personalize Your Recordings Users can take notes on recordings and save them for either public or private viewing. Notes are completely searchable, enabling users to search for specific content and cue recordings to begin in areas of interest. Instructors also can use this functionality to provide individual feedback to student presentations or public clarifications to existing videos.
	PC and Mac Friendly Panopto Focus’ advanced recording interfaces for PCs and Macs empower all organization members to capture streaming video, audio, PowerPoint/Keynote and screen components, regardless of computer or operating system. Both recorders are easy to install and include the same core functionality.
	Efficient Content Drill-Down Search all presentation text including PowerPoint slides, notes and more. Panopto Focus captures metadata across all recorded content within one’s library so users can search at any granularity – from personal notes to specific recording sessions or the entire recording library.
	Simple Web-Based Editing Panopto Focus simplifies content editing so even those unfamiliar with video editing tools can modify recordings with ease. With Panopto Focus’ patent-pending technology, any user with a broadband network connection can edit his or her recording session instantly, without downloading large video files or learning a complex editor.
	Content Management System Integrations Integration to content management systems such as Blackboard and Moodle empower educational institutions to automatically post recordings to internal class Web sites so students and faculty can access material from one location. Please contact us for information on additional content management system integrations.
	On the Go Recordings With our support of H.264 / MPEG4, viewers can watch recordings (video and audio) on portable media devices such as iPhones and video iPods. Automatically create podcast and RSS feeds for all your recordings. Enhanced video podcasting features also empower users to create mobile device MP4 files that fade from video to PowerPoint slides. If screen capture is present, it will show what was on screen and you will be able to hear audio.
	Low Cost of Ownership To eliminate the restrictive costs of custom hardware, Panopto Focus uses off-the-shelf PC and camera hardware, and stores captured content in industry-standard formats (e.g., MP3, MP4, etc.). Institutions can create recordings with existing hardware and audio/visual equipment, as well as with simple webcams.
