DMR160 User’s Guide V2.0 12
Overview
Uses and Features
The DMR160 may be used in a variety of situations for live communication and collaboration.
You can start an archiving / streaming session to:
• Archive Video Conference near and far end camera views for record keeping or corporate
intellectual property management for a complete and accurate record of each event.
• Share visual information, designs, and concepts with dispersed groups of people to gather input
during a video conference.
• Stream important videoconferences to other locations such as overflow rooms or remote
conference locations along your corporate network.
• Conduct customer and employee training across vast geographical areas.
• Discuss research, engineering, architecture, product design, or process analysis when the
participants are not able to meet in one central location.
• Access a centralized bank of expertise from a field location.
• Disseminate archived presentations and training seminars to remote employees.
How It Works
The DMR160 captures two separate video input streams from your videoconferencing system (in a video
conference the near and far-end camera video). The DMR160 also accepts line level stereo audio inputs.
The two separate streams along with the stereo audio inputs are captured and combined into a single file
which can be simultaneously streamed out along your network during the archival process if desired.
Users can select from three pre-defined layout templates for capturing and subsequent playback of the
recorded material.
The DMR160 combines the two recorded streams into a single file that is stored on-board locally on a
hard drive. The recorded file can then be viewed on your PC or replayed directly from the DMR160 on a
local monitor if desired. The content can also be copied to a USB memory stick, burned to CD, or
downloaded to your PC.
