Open Source Lecture Capture & Video Management for Education
Matterhorn is a free, open-source platform to support the management of educational audio and video content. Institutions will use Matterhorn to produce lecture recordings, manage existing video, serve designated distribution channels, and provide user interfaces to engage students with educational videos.
Features
Capture & Administration
Matterhorn provides specs for building your own capture agent to automatically record audio, video and VGA signal, and a sophisticated set of administration tools to manage recordings.
Media Processing
Matterhorn's configurable media processing workflow system provides a scalable set of services for dispatching processing jobs across multiple worker nodes. Services include video encoding, metadata generation, scene detection, preview image generation, trimming and captioning and text analysis.
Distribution
Matterhorn can publish recordings for both progressive download and streaming server, including a local search index. RSS/Atom feeds are available for integration with other systems, and coming soon, Matterhorn will be able to publish directly to iTunes U and YouTube.
Engage
The engage player can be used as a standalone application, or embedded inside of other applications such as blogs, wikis or content management systems. The player enables features such as slide segmentation and in-video text search. All engage player functionality is fully accessible, supporting assistive technology across multiple platforms.
