Overview
Lumens is a manufacturer of professional AV and video capture hardware used in classrooms, corporate training rooms, telehealth environments, and live event spaces. The Lumens LC200 CaptureVision System is a 4-channel HD switcher, recorder, and live-streaming media processor, certified by Panopto as a remote recorder.
The LC200 connects to Panopto through the Remote Recorder API, enabling remote recording, automated scheduling, live streaming, and automatic publishing to Panopto’s video library. It supports simultaneous capture from up to four video sources—HDMI and IP inputs—with seamless source switching and vision mixing handled by the device. Recordings are automatically uploaded to Panopto on session end, where they are encoded for playback on any device and indexed for intelligent search.
Scheduling integrates with Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar, allowing sessions to be pre-programmed to start and stop automatically. The LC200 is managed remotely through a web interface, making it practical to deploy across multiple spaces without on-site configuration for each session.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Lumens LC200 work with Panopto?
The LC200 connects to Panopto through the Remote Recorder API, receiving recording schedules from Panopto and publishing captured content to the Panopto library automatically when a session ends. The device handles capture, source switching, and mixing in the room—sessions start and stop based on the schedule or manual initiation, without requiring instructors to interact with the Panopto platform directly.
Setup guidance for the LC200 as a Panopto remote recorder is covered in the support documentation linked on this page.
How many video sources can the LC200 capture simultaneously?
The LC200 supports simultaneous capture from up to four video sources, including HDMI and IP inputs. Source switching and vision mixing are handled by the device, so presenters can switch between camera feeds, display content, and other inputs during a session without the recording losing continuity. All captured streams are automatically uploaded to Panopto for synchronized playback in Panopto’s multi-source video player.
How does scheduling work with the Lumens Panopto integration?
The LC200 integrates with Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar, so recording and streaming sessions can be pre-programmed to start and stop automatically based on the room calendar. Panopto’s scheduling can also be used directly. Once scheduled, sessions run without manual intervention—reducing the setup burden on instructors and AV teams for routine recordings.
Remote management through the LC200’s web interface gives administrators visibility across deployed devices and the ability to adjust settings without visiting each room.
Does the LC200 support live streaming as well as recording?
Yes. The LC200 supports live streaming via RTMP, RTMPS, MPEG-TS, TCP, and UDP protocols, alongside simultaneous recording to Panopto. Live streams can reach internal or external audiences, and recordings are published to the Panopto library automatically when the session ends—making on-demand access available immediately after a live event concludes.
How are Lumens recordings managed and secured in Panopto?
All recordings published by the LC200 to Panopto are governed by the same access controls, retention policies, and audit logging as the rest of the Panopto library. Panopto integrates with SSO identity management solutions—including SAML, Active Directory, Google, and oAuth—so access is managed through existing organizational credentials. Recordings are encoded for optimized playback on any device and indexed for intelligent search across every spoken word and on-screen element.
