Video server

The Multimedia Department of the Computer Center develops and maintains a video server to provide the video offerings of Clausthal University of Technology. In addition to a large number of lecture recordings, this also includes various in-house video productions.

The video server is a distributed server system that independently takes over and processes many steps in the processing chain up to the finished end product using various automated mechanisms. It continuously adapts to current Internet formats and end devices and archives the video inventory.

On the video server website, the wide range of content is available for streaming in various categories. Apart from lecture recordings, the spectrum ranges from research and teaching, conferences and lectures to documentaries about Clausthal University of Technology and the region.

Lecture recordings are, if the lecturer so wishes, reliably protected against unauthorized access by a Stud.IP plug-in developed in-house. In this way, the lecturer can make his lecture accessible exclusively to his audience.

We currently use the "Opencast/Matterhorn" platform to record and present lectures. The display type can be easily configured by the user in terms of the size of the lecturer video/lecture slides. In addition, a timeline and a slide-based division of the lecture into sections can be activated.
