KIM.MediaBOX

The Communication, Information, Media Centre (KIM) offers the KIM.MediaBOX for lecturers to record their own (teaching) videos

KIM.MediaBox

What is KIM.MediaBOX?

Lecturers can borrow the KIM.MediaBOX from the KIM to record their own (teaching) videos. The focus of the hardware and software is on the independent production of videos.

For recording videos where the camera doesn't move, there is a webcam and laptop with relevant software. The software is configured for various scenarios:

  •  screen recording
  •  screen recording with person (internal camera)
  •  webcam recording (external webcam)

For more dynamic videos where the camera position or perspecitve will change (such as filming experiments) we recommend using the hand camera.

For more information about video post-production, please use https://streaming.uni-konstanz.de/kimvideolab/. For further questions please contact the team KIM.VideoLAB.
