Read this whole manual from cover to cover (RTFM). There are hundreds of different configuration
options for a Presentation Recorder, allowing the setup and composition of many different formats,
resolutions, PIP options, layouts, bit-rates, frame-rates, start and stop and scheduling options and the
like. You can automatically upload your archives to a video server. You can tag your archives
automatically with course numbers and notes. You can add your own customized graphic overlays to
the captured graphics and video. Transmission can be automated so that all that is required is to
press the power-on button.
Please feel free to contact NCast Corporation if you have any questions about the use or
configuration of the Presentation Recorder.
