Video Solution for University Research Centers

Most large universities have a number of campus research centers — faculty-led organizations that aim to improve and augment research on a wide variety of topics, including human behavioral sciences, policy analysis, educational technologies, research on the sciences, and organizational research, to name but a few.

Digital video solutions are increasingly a necessary tool for research centers to ensure accurate data collection and dissemination, especially for campus labs that focus on human behavior or skills development. Digital video gives you the ability to conduct a more accurate analysis, improve future methodology, and build a comprehensive digital library of individual lab sessions.

VALT for Campus Research Labs

VALT (Video Audio Learning Tool) is a digital recording solution for campus research centers, deploying IP camera technology. Assemble a digital library of all recording sessions from multiple research centers all supported by a single appliance and easily searchable with metadata and transcriptions that make organization simple and effective.

HD Video & High Quality Audio

The VALT software integrates with the latest IP camera technology. Observe in real-time or review recorded high definition video in 1080p resolution. Auto-gaining discrete microphones provide high-quality perfectly synchronized audio, great for picking up soft voices.

Scalability

VALT works for universities of any size — portable, scalable, and built to support dozens of labs at once. Each room can run multiple cameras for richer viewing angles, while the central server stores tens of thousands of hours of video. Authorized users can watch recordings remotely from any standard web browser.

Shared Infrastructure

Our software lets multiple departments share the same backend while maintaining access only to their own content. This shared infrastructure reduces both upfront and long-term costs by streamlining hardware, software, and support needs.

Markers

Tag specific points within a recording either during live observation or during the review process. These points can have associated and searchable descriptions. These “markers” are great for providing feedback or can be used for research purposes. A marker allows users to easily jump right to that point in the video, similar to chapters in a DVD.

Security & Compliance

With comprehensive user management rights, a detailed audit log and optional encryption, our video solution offers some of the most advanced security features in the market. These built-in features can help maintain your compliance standards for clinical research video (HIPAA/HITECH).

Flexible Features

Our research lab recording software comes with a scheduler feature, allowing you to set up recordings ahead of time — these can even repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. Another optional feature is “talkbalk”, a system in which remote observers can communicate with the research lab personnel though small earbuds.

"I liked the VALT system so much that when our literacy clinic was having some struggles with a system designed for classroom use, that I was able to convince the literacy clinic to implement a VALT system, which actually ended up meeting their needs better, at about a third of the cost of the previous system."

Mobile Recording of Campus Research Labs

We offer yet another way to let your university record research labs off-campus — our Beam app. Beam turns your phone or tablet into a mobile recording studio, allowing you to set up in seconds and record any off-site research sessions. With Beam there is no need to worry about video rendering or uploading –  Beam recordings are automatically synced with the VALT server and added to your video library.
