Lecture Capture Module Update – PC Capture and Hardware Hub Updates – v25.5.0 Release

PC Software Capture

We’re rolling out YuJa Software Capture for PC updates, including a new visual application selection interface, streamlined shared profile creation for administrators, improved microphone device naming in audio controls, and quick access to your Media Library with a single click.

1. New Application Window Selection Interface

   Select which applications to capture with a new window selection interface. Users will see a visual grid of all open, non-minimized windows and can choose up to two applications for recording, eliminating guesswork about which content is being captured. This gives users complete control over what gets recorded to help ensure they capture the right applications every time without having to resize or rearrange windows beforehand.

   

2. Set Default Video Capture Resolution in Application Settings

   Admins can now configure their preferred video capture resolution once in Application Settings rather than adjusting it for each recording session. This default applies to new recordings while preserving any resolution settings already configured in saved profiles.

   

3. New Quick Access Button to Access the Media Library

   Instructors will be able to launch their browser and jump directly to the Media Library with a single click from the Software Capture interface. This streamlined workflow eliminates the need to navigate through your LMS when you want to quickly edit recordings or manage your content after capturing.

   

4. Improved Microphone Device Naming in Audio Controls

   Audio indicators will now show your microphone device names instead of generic “Mic Source” labels. Users can hover over any audio bar in the Confidence Monitor or recording toolbar to see which specific microphone they are monitoring.

   

5. Streamlined Shared Profile Creation for Administrators

   Administrators will now be able to create shared profiles directly from the main profile section, making it easier for IT managers to set up profiles that other team members can access and schedule.

   

6. Simplified Livestream Link Sharing

   When broadcasting live, Software Capture will now display the direct livestream URL at the bottom of the main window with a convenient copy button. Share your stream link instantly without needing to navigate to the Video Platform or remember complex URLs.

   

Hardware Hub

For the YuJa Hardware Hub, this update includes enhanced NDI camera support with a new Network Peripherals interface for simplified device configuration and management.

1. Enable NDI Device Support Through Device Configuration

   Campus administrators and support staff can now enable or disable NDI devices directly from the Hardware Hub’s device configuration panel. A new Network Peripherals tab provides a simple toggle to control NDI camera availability, automatically showing or hiding the NDI interface based on the selection.

2. Simplified NDI Camera Configuration and Management

   Users will now be able to configure and manage NDI cameras directly through the Hardware Hub’s new Network Peripherals interface. Users can search for available NDI devices, enable them with a click, and adjust individual camera settings once they’re connected.
