Scenario 1: Meeting Room Recording

Scenario Description

Enterprise meeting rooms need to record meeting content for archiving, review by absentees and review of important meetings.

Pain Point Analysis

• The traditional solution requires a computer + capture card + OBS software, which is complex to configure
• The computer needs to be on for a long time, and its stability is questionable
• Meeting organizers do not necessarily understand technical operations
• Exporting recorded files requires additional operations

Solution

Use the HDMI recording box to record the HDMI signal output by the meeting matrix or a computer.

Scenario 3: Medical Image Recording

Scenario Description

Hospitals need to record surgery, examination and other medical image pictures for case archiving, teaching demonstration and remote consultation.

Pain Point Analysis

• Medical equipment (endoscopes, ultrasound, etc.) outputs HDMI signals
• Long, stable recording is required and cannot be interrupted
• The medical environment has high requirements for device reliability
• Video files need to be easy to export and archive

Solution

Use the HDMI recording box to record the HDMI signal output by medical equipment.

Scenario 4: Security Surveillance Recording

Scenario Description

Security engineering companies need to record the pictures output by an NVR for backup of key periods and retention of forensic material.

Pain Point Analysis

• NVR built-in recording has a time limit, and key periods require additional backup
• Forensic work requires exporting video from specific periods
• Traditional export from the NVR is slow and the format is not universal

Solution

Use the HDMI recording box to record the HDMI signal output by the NVR.
