4.2.1 Crestron Review
Although, the Crestron CaptureLive HD is a sophisticated and well-made solution it has
too steep of a learning curve for a less than tech-savvy user. The primary configuration
took almost four hours with the help of three people as well as a Crestron representa-
tive, and before any kind of capturing or streaming can begin, the IP-, camera- and
audio-settings and connections need to be checked and established, which must be
done every single time. Although the menus in general, are fairly straight-forward the
user must navigate through several menus before being able to begin capturing or
streaming and must know the IP-address that they wish to stream, also the MP-FS-
RX1 microphone needs to be paired with the FreeSpeech Single-Channel Wireless Mic
System every time a lecture is going to begin or continued after a break. The fact that
there is very little to any automation present in the CaptureLive HD, it is required for a
person to maintain the connections, cables and equipment as well as check all of the
settings, before every presentation, to make sure that everything works correctly. This
is especially important if the CaptureLive HD system is integrated into a specific class-
room.
