Specific Equipment Usage Guidelines

Wondering what type of equipment the IT department has? Here are some options available to you and some instructions on how to use them.

 Video Cameras:

  • Make sure the camera has an SD card loaded.
  • Ensure that if the camera is being used for an extended period of time for recording, it is plugged in to avoid battery issues
  • Use a tripod as needed
  • Point and shoot, click the record button
  • Pull recorded video(s) off of SD card or request from IT what you would like done with them. Be sure to return the SD card

 

GoPro: (specific video camera designed to be used while in motion)

  • Keep all contents in the case when not in use
  • Make sure a fresh battery is in use (fully charged)
  • Ensure that your SD card is loaded

  • Click to record
  • Pull recorded video(s) off of SD card or request from IT what you would like done with them

 

Lavalier Kits: (small microphone clip)

Outlook, Links, and Carmen

Sometimes when you copy a link that has been emailed to you, Outlook can add elements to that link that make it unusable in your Carmen course.

For example, if you were to copy and paste this Panopto link into Carmen,

you are actually copying this.

That link has additional elements that keep it from being usable in Carmen.

To fix this, click on the original link to open it in a new page, then copy the URL from the address bar here.

Once you have that link, follow the normal process for creating a new link within Carmen.
