Since EchoVideo's active learning platform is a hosted SaaS platform, you don't need to worry about data storage for your captures. However, you will want to know the size of the raw media files transferred from the recording device.

Remember that only Universal Capture (UC software and Pros / Pods) media files are uploaded as they are captured. Media files created using other devices are uploaded when the recording is finished. This is important if you have many captured classes that end simultaneously; understand that your network can be affected while these files are uploaded to EchoVideo.

The figures on this page represent the total payload of the raw data uploaded to EchoVideo at the end of the capture.

EchoVideo keeps the raw video files for 30 days.

Appliance Recording Data Volume

The following table lists the typical raw recording file sizes for the SCHD, Pro, and Pod appliances. As with playback, all recorded files will be of the same quality (either SD or HD). It is impossible to capture some inputs at SD quality and others at HD quality.

All of the figures below are shown in GB / hr. This means that for every hour of recording, the figure given is the raw file size generated for each source.

To determine the total data volume for a given recording, add the relevant figures from the above table and multiply by the recording length.

Examples:

• The raw files for a one-hour DVI + Audio recording, captured at a high-definition 16:9 ratio, will have a total uploaded file size of approximately 1.10 GB (1.04 GB display + 0.06 GB of audio).
• A one-hour Composite + Audio recording captured at high-definition will have a total uploaded file size of 0.56 GB (.50 GB video + .06 GB audio).

Universal Capture Software Recording Data Volume

The following table lists the typical raw recording data size / volumes for Universal Capture software.

The figures below are shown in MB / hr. This means that for every hour of recording, the figure given is the raw file size generated for each source.

Windows

Mac

To determine the total data volume for a given recording, add the relevant figures from the above table and multiply by the recording length.

Examples:

• The raw files for a one-hour Audio + Dual Video recording captured at Medium Quality on Windows will have a total uploaded file size of approximately 234 MB or 0.23 GB (54 audio + 90 MB video + 90 MB video).
  • If the capture is an hour and a half, take .23 x 1.5 = ~0.35 GB.
• A one-hour Display + Audio recording captured at High Quality on Windows, will have a total uploaded file size of approximately 140 MB or 0.14 GB (86 MB display + 54 MB of audio).
