Guide in TISS

To make a recording, you need a confirmed lecture hall booking in TISS for the respective LectureTube hall. The recording starts and stops automatically. In the lecture hall, you only need to switch on the lecture hall equipment (beamer, microphone, camera settings).

Navigate in TISS to "Course Administration" (1a) and click in your course on the tab "E-Learning" (1b). In the section "LectureTube" you can plan new recording dates (1c).

Then select the confirmed recording dates  (Figure 2 - 2a) and add them to the recordings list (Figure 2 - 2b).

Specify the recording option for each of the appointment dates through the "Recording" column.

The following options are available:

• No recording: No recording is scheduled for this appointment.
• Camera: Only the lecture hall camera will be recorded.
• Beamer: Only the input selected via the touch panel will be recorded.
• Camera + Beamer: Both the lecture hall camera and the selected input will be recorded.

Under the "Visibility" option, you can specify the visibility of the recordings. Please note that with the "Not listed" option, the recordings are not visible to anyone. You can also specify under "Publication" whether videos should be checked and published manually or automatically. In the case of an automated publication, the videos with automatically determined cut marks are available to students more quickly and can then be edited afterwards if necessary.

To apply the changes you have made, click on the "Save" button. Your recording dates will then be transferred to the LectureTube system.

Guide in the lecture hall

Note that the touch panel controls may differ in each lecture hall. However, the basic operating sequence is very similar.

The overview of the rooms equipped with LectureTube and the respective GUT data sheet can be accessed in coLAB at https://colab.tuwien.ac.at/x/YQyQ.

Switch on the lecture hall system in the lecture room.

Switch on the projector.

Connect your presenter’s laptop to the relevant port and switch on the required microphones. Test whether you can hear yourself continuously through the loudspeakers in the room.

Select the source you are using via the “Input” tab.

The “Stream/Rec” tab shows a preview image with the current layout setting. You can also ensure there that the recording has already started automatically. In newer touch panels, the current status of the recording and the live stream is also displayed at the bottom of the touch panel in each view (Figure 6).

Check the layout of your recording and change it if necessary, using the “Layouts” button.  This allows you to set whether and how the selected input and/or the lecture hall camera are displayed. You can change the selected input (e.g., HDMI, Doc.Cam.) at any time via “Input” in the left menu.

Via “Camera” (or in older panels „Streaming Recorder”), you can set the orientation of the lecture hall camera.
