Advanced video services to Swedish students – Computer Sweden

For the past few years back has Swedish universities the opportunity to join the e-meeting system Sunet Connect, which is based on Adobe Connect and now Sunet Play based on the American open-source platform Kaltura.

Sunet Plays system administrator Markus Schneider says that Adobe Connect has been something of a success story for the Swedish universities, but that you have seen a need for a service which is primarily focused on video and in addition supports multiple platforms.

– Video pops up in many places in higher education institutions and Kaltura have focused on just that there are a plethora of different formats and capture opportunities and sources that you would like to sort out.

– You do have a central place to manage, decide how open or closed it to be and then be able to offer a play where you want designed alternatives. It’s something different than having a web meeting tool where the primary purpose is real-time communication, said Markus Schneider.

Kalturas cloud-based video service has been around since 2007 and is used by a wide range of media companies and universities for newscasts and distance education. It has features of both to create and maintain media library, and integration with other systems for live streaming and also groupware as SharePoint.

– There is different integration possibilities and apps for Kaltura and to work on a simple integration with Adobe Connect is in their roadmap so that you can still use Connect for recording and send it out to a single place. Kaltura has shown that they can such as they already have a similar integration with Webbex said Markus Schneider.

The cooperation Sunet now initiated with Kaltura Sunet means that customers can order extras, such as consulting services, as well as different versions of Kalturas mobile app with their own branding.
