LogDepot has three different tiers:

A stand alone off-the-shelf recorder. Easy, Plug & Play en very attractively priced!

Today, conferences and meetings are rarely one-off or stand-alone events. More and more often they are part of a broader multichannel communication platform. The same is true for courtroom sessions and city or county council meetings.

LogDepot offers a standardized and therefore robust, full automatic and thus easy to use digital webcasting and recording solution. This off-the-shelf unit requires no onsite installation or customized configuration. Connect, record and stream, all in one “Plug And Play” device.

It will capture the incoming audio and video signals and create a live web - or broadcast quality stream - during the sessions. Next to this it produces a preservation master and Video-on-Demand files for publication on the internet, including metadata.

LogDepot is highly suitable for multi-lingual applications by design, creating live streams and Video-on-Demand files for each language separately.

The system automatically connects to the digital conference system (when available), supporting all important brands. This allows the system to be used unattended! Streaming will automatically start when the meeting starts. During the meeting the conference system will supply speaker names (metadata) and other relevant information, so that this information can be shown on the live webportal.

When the meeting is stopped the system will automatically create Video-on-Demand files and a preservation master. Without requiring human interaction! Easy and flawless!

If users want to interact with the system (maybe because a name was misspelled or an agenda item is misplaced), they can access the recordings via a web-based client application, called Mediaboard. It is extremely easy to use and does not require local installation of specific software. The Mediaboard allows authorized users to modify metadata information and re-publish the meeting with just a few mouse-clicks!

The Mediaboard also provides a web interface for controlling and monitoring the meeting incl. a live metadata insertion tool.

Stand alone recording and streaming system, running on a single PC. Customizable, flexible and including possibilities to integrate into a customer's environment.

Basically LogDepot is designed in a tree layer operation concept:

Input layer: LogDepot encodes the incoming sources mainly for two purposes as there are, recording of incoming source and live stream generation.

Controlling layer: LogDepot offers a web interface based management and controlling interface allowing start-stop control, meeting management, review and publishing tasks.

Output layer: LogDepot offers a “record once publish many” concept. LogDepot integrates smoothly in operational architectures for producing recordings and streaming for multiplatform – multipurpose use.

Highlighted features:

Audio and Video recording

LogDepot replaces your actual meeting recorder by a “state of the art” recording device. It supports recording of incoming signals in an open standard file format (H.264/AAC).

The unique 24/7 continuous recording buffer stores all signals for 5 days; it is the key to our "never miss a meeting" motto. It allows you to always navigate back through the last 5 days and "record"  and publish meetings afterwards. No panic if you forgot to start a recording or the automated recording system did not work!

Live Streaming

The system will automatically start webcasting the Live Stream (UDP and RTMP format) when the meeting starts or resumes. The Multi-Lingual models will create a separate live stream for each language channel. Starting and stopping the stream is controlled from the conference microphone systems like Televic, Shure/DIS, Bosch and Taiden, the room control system like Crestron or AMX or by using the “remote control” web client interface (manually).

Live Metadata Display

LogDepot allows a smooth integration with microphone conference systems allowing automatic generating of live events metadata, such as “Speaker name” and “Agenda item”. This information can be displayed along with the live stream or used during VOD file publishing.

Create Video-on-Demand files

When the meeting is stopped, the software will create VOD files in MP4 format (AAC or MP3 for audio only systems). The Multilingual models will produce one file for each language separately. Each file will have its own accompanying XML file describing the contents of the file, including metadata events.

Create Preservation Master

Apart from the VOD files, the system will create one Preservation Masterfile, containing all audio and video tracks in one file. The accompanying XML file, will containing all relevant meeting information.
