As demand from CUMC students grew for recording course lectures, it was clear that the handheld recorders being used were not going to handle the increased load. After some research, two classrooms at CUMC where outfitted with Barix InStreamer devices. The InStreamer is connected to the house audio, which it can stream over the network. A remote second machine records the audio feed for the duration of the class session. This feed, in mp3 format, minimizes the processing necessary before the recording is released as part of a podcast.
