In venues where no recording equipment is in place, this alternative scenario allows coverage by a mobile crew that carries and installs all necessary equipement in the classroom on demand. This solution can also serve cases where high-quality video production is required, such as invited talks or special univeristy-wide events. Recording quality is not standardized and depends on the crew and its equipment. The camera (possibly more than one) can track the speaker and both audio and video quality can be adjusted in real-time by the on-site crew.
