Ad-hoc-captured lectures
An Ad-hoc Recording is created when you manually start/stop a recording in a Mediasite equipped room.
Making an Ad-hoc Recording
- Turn on the AV System at the lectern
- Select your inputs; the main projector will be captured as slides and the presenter's camera as video
- Press and hold the red button to start a recording
- You can pause by a short-press of the red button
- After giving your presentation, press and hold the red button to stop the recording.
 Control button | start - pause - stop |  Control light on |  Control light off |
Retrieving an Ad-hoc Recording
- Complete the Ad-hoc request form
- Your request will be processed by the Learning Environments team
- A notification via ServiceNow will be sent when your recording is made available in your My Mediasite Dashboard.
Things to know when creating an Ad-hoc recording
- Ad-hoc recordings are usually made available within 48 hours but this time period may extend in busy periods
- Unclaimed Ad-hoc recordings are only stored for thirty days after they are recorded
- If a recording is not manually stopped it could become so large in size that it is irretrievable
- VAVS are there to support you in teaching spaces within the Cairns and Townsville campuses
- Check your audio levels on the AV system (if equipped) to ensure sound is being captured correctly
- Using an in-room lapel or roving microphone will improve audio quality
- Control button:
- Long-press = start
- Short-press = pause
- Short press = un-pause
- Long-press = stop
- Recording light:
- Illuminated = recording
- Slow-pulse = paused
- No illumination = off
