The barriers can seem insurmountable: lack of access to technology, solutions that are expensive and hard to use, search tools that are often inadequate or nonexistent, and sharing and security systems so cumbersome that the target audience throws up their hands in frustration. It’s death by a thousand cuts.

There’s a better way.

With Panopto Focus, anyone with a computer can capture expert knowledge - presentations, meetings, brainstorming sessions, product demonstrations, lectures, or visual communication too rich for email – in real time, as it’s delivered. Simple enough to learn in seconds, Panopto’s powerful capture and broadcast tools let you use anything from consumer webcams and built-in microphones to professional-grade cameras to produce content that’s published online, chaptered, searchable, and delivered to your audience seconds after you stop recording.

Combined with Panopto Unison, an easy, flexible, and scalable system for uploading, managing, and publishing multimedia from any source using only your web browser, Panopto gives your audience a single destination for rich information. The days of the limited and expensive capture studio and the slow, tedious production process are over – Panopto delivers knowledge from experts to audience with one simple platform, leaving the pain and cost of yesterday’s technologies behind.

How can Panopto benefit you?

Free Your Speech

You may have one already: the “million dollar room” bristling with exotic hardware and top-of-the-line AV equipment. Maybe you’re lucky enough to have a few dozen. But all that technology doesn’t benefit a subject matter expert or a brilliant lecturer who just wants to record a no-fuss presentation and publish it securely, without having to schedule time or track down cumbersome dedicated equipment. Worse, it leaves those unscheduled moments of insight that happen outside the studio out of the picture.

At the same time, most organizations still don’t have an easy way for people to share a video they’ve made or downloaded, leaving them wandering the wilderness of generic content management systems or even resorting to emailing unwieldy media files. With Panopto Unison it’s a snap to securely share video with any user on any device, and helps add new value to old media with remixing, closed-captioning, notes, and search. In today’s world of pervasive video, don’t leave your experts stuck in the Stone Age.

Panopto frees you from the constraints of hardware-based capture solutions, helping your speech and your ideas take flight.

Skip To The Good Parts

Almost everyone’s seen one – a fantastic lecture series published on a video sharing site, bursting with information and ideas. But how do you find the moments you care about somewhere in the hours of video? It’s like a library without an index, where the only way to find what you want is to open books and skim random pages until you home in on your goal. A Google white paper puts the percentage of time knowledge workers spend searching for information at a staggering 25% - up to a quarter of your audience’s time wasted looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack.

By capturing and indexing PowerPoint and Keynote slides as they’re presented, Panopto Focus automatically builds a table of content from the structures that presenters work so hard to provide for their audience. Panopto Unison makes it easy to synchronize existing video and slides, breathing new life and new purpose into inert archival media. Combined with a search engine for slide text, viewers’ notes, descriptive metadata, and even closed captions, Panopto gives your audience the tools to find the content they need without a hassle.

Easy search and precise, to-the-second results. The good parts are all you need to watch.

Be Agile

In today’s world of shrinking budgets and increasingly distributed workforces and student populations, agility is an elusive goal that often seems like a mirage. Getting information between work groups consumes time and resources, and often hijacks the purpose of a forum with a frustrating battle against technology. What if you didn’t have to sign in to yet another on-line line meeting only to sit in silence, a passive observer itching to spend your time better? What if you didn’t have to stay late or come in early to meet with that team on the other side of the globe?

With Panopto, you can record these events, meetings, and presentations and let users access information on their own schedules. You can even re-use the best parts of existing training, lectures, and archival media, remixing them with new elements to keep your time-sensitive content fresh.

Universal compatibility with computers, tablets, and smart phones alongside Panopto’s automatic indexing and search lets you stop marching in lockstep and blaze your own trail.
