ReCap Enabled Venues
Enabled venues
ReCap is installed in all centrally supported seminar rooms and lecture theatres and can also be used in a number of centrally supported meeting rooms on campus. It is also available in a number of school-owned teaching spaces.
You can use ReCap in all centrally supported teaching clusters however please be aware that it is deployed as PCap and will only capture content delivered from the presenter PC. Note that you will need to start, stop and publish recordings manually. For more information on how to use PCap please see our user guide.
If you would like to explore having ReCap installed in a school/faculty/service owned space then please see our request process for further information.

Because Newcastle University uses IT systems and infrastructure of Ngee Ann and Nanyang Polytechnics, we are currently unable to provide ReCap for any courses delivered within this facility. ReCap is however available within the Newcastle Research & Innovation Institute (NEWRIIS).

How to ReCap-enable my space
ReCap can be provided in any School or Faculty owned teaching rooms and meeting rooms, provided they meet a set criteria. How it is provisioned will depend on the type of space.
In teaching rooms which are timetabled using Syllabus Plus:
- ReCap Recorder software will be used, whereby recordings can be scheduled (automatically for lectures) using the University timetable, and will start and stop without any user interaction
- ReCap will only record digital content from devices connected to the audio-visual system, and the voice of the presenter, it will not record actual video (i.e. talking head) of the presenter
In any other spaces:
- ReCap Personal Capture (PCap) software will be used, which requires each user to use their personal My Folder and to manually start and stop recordings
- Video (talking heads) from any installed webcams will be recorded as standard, alongside any digital content and presenter voice
ReCap software and associated hardware will be provided by NUIT at no cost to the requesting School, Faculty or Service. However they will be responsible for covering all costs associated with procurement of any AV/IT equipment required to upgrade the AV system, and any ongoing equipment maintenance costs and equipment replenishment at end-of-life.
We will also need you to identify a technical point of contact (usually the person who supports the AV equipment) for us to work with during installation and ongoing support.
