Focus
Whether it's in the field, the classroom, or the boardroom, much of the critical work we do happens "off the page" and in real time. Panopto Focus is a flexible and easy-to-use presentation capture tool that lets you capture any moment of value and transform it into a powerful, reusable asset.
One click capture
Panopto Focus can record content in any environment, from the most complex and highly produced event to an impromptu meeting or moment of inspiration. Just click the big red record button and go!
- Record formal meetings and lectures, workshops, online courses, best practices videos, sales presentations and follow-ups, product demonstrations, software tutorials, PSAs, and much more.
- Transform local knowledge transfer into a comprehensive, searchable resource for your entire organization.
- Increase the ROI of virtually any circumstance with the push of a button. The more comprehensive your presentation library, the smarter the Panopto search engine becomes.
See the whole picture
Move beyond mere PowerPoint and create dynamic presentations that add depth and dimension to your message. With Panopto Focus, the only real limitation is imagination.
- Focus automatically integrates PowerPoint and Keynote slides, multiple video feeds, animations, desktop capture, smart whiteboards, document cameras and more.
- Bring the power of the web directly into your presentation. Anything you can show on your screen, Focus can capture.
- Give your viewers the gift of deep context. In addition to captured inputs, supporting documents can be added directly to any presentation and integrated into the viewing experience.
Broadcast live
Turn any recording into a live streaming event with the push of a button. Simply provide your audience with a link and begin your presentation.
- Viewers can submit live questions and sync digital notes directly to the presentation in real-time.
- The presentation, supporting rich media, Q&A and viewer notes are automatically synchronized, time stamped, and archived together for subsequent viewing.
- A persistent URL is created for every live broadcast that automatically links to the archived version upon completion.
Flexible recording
Record your way. Panopto Focus is entirely software-based, so it can seamlessly plug-and-play within a fixed A/V environment or can be deployed in the field with a laptop and a webcam.
- Record multiple video streams simultaneously—from one computer at one location to many computers across multiple locations.
- Record an event featuring various media inputs from different locations around the world, and Focus will synchronize and archive them automatically as they are captured.
- Upload and share your recording immediately upon completion, or record offline and edit your session for later viewing.
Flexible scheduling
Panopto is intuitive enough for anyone in your organization to record high quality videos on the fly, without technical assistance. But there are definitely times when presentation technology simply needs to “disappear.”
- Panopto Focus makes it easy to record presentations manually or schedule them to begin and end remotely.
- Speakers can simply show up and present without any technical responsibility for recording.
- Recorder presets and individual presenter preferences can also be automated and controlled remotely.
Professional results for the non-professional
Panopto Focus is designed to eliminate the need for onsite A/V support and comes preset for high quality recording—no advanced configuration necessary. A new user can download Focus and begin creating professional quality presentations in minutes.
- Synchronizing inputs is our job, not yours. Focus eliminates the complexity of integrated recording so that you can concentrate on content, not capture.
- Record and broadcast in high definition—up to 720p for primary streams and full 1080p for secondary streams.
- Panopto utilizes advanced adaptive streaming technology, delivering the best video available for each individual viewer’s bandwidth.
No new hardware required
Get the most out of the equipment you already have. Record anything, view from anywhere. Panopto’s plug and play software is media and hardware agnostic.
- Connect to simple consumer webcams or studio quality, professional A/V equipment.
- If your computer can load a driver for it, then Focus will likely work with it.
- Focus ships with both Mac and PC recorders which are easy to install and include the same functionality.
