Overview
DragonDrop, formerly the Rich Media Conversion Project (RMCP), is a feature rich , multi-institution enabled, web-based application for capturing, encoding and publishing rich media for web access. It significantly simplifies the process of getting audio, video, text and other rich media formats into highly compressed and streamable formats suitable for web delivery.
DragonDrop is a tab-based web application (graphic) with a Web 2.0 enabled user interface. Some of the features include the ability to:
- • Utilize the built-in Camtasia Relay recorder to capture web-cam video and/or audio for ad-hoc podcasting /vodcasting.
- • Encode content into one to six output formats simultaneously
- • Track encoding and publishing progress through a "Tracking" tab
- • Add metadata to all content, including title, descriptions, "tags" and comments
- • Create playlists as content aggregations and freely add, change, or delete content from playlists at will
- • Share playlist content with others, or, hide playlist content
- • Secure playlist content via password or by setting temporal viewing windows for access
- • Provide access to content via secure URL and via RSS syndication.
As a user of the DragonDrop system you can also:
- • Search for content through the use of metadata associated with a playlist or item
- • Create surrogate users who can act on your behalf.
Please review our DragonDrop Overview (PDF) for a more complete introduction.
No longer do new users have to request registration. All Drexel Faculty and Staff are authorized to use DragonDrop.
If you are a new user, just attempt to log in using your DrexelOne credentials (username and password). DragonDrop will first check your authentication and then check to see if you are Drexel Faculty or Staff. If both authentication and authorization pass, you will be automatically added to the DragonDrop system and will have immediate access to the DragonDrop web-application.
If you were a user of the original version of RMCP, then your content and authorization has been migrated to this new version. You will be presented with the new DragonDrop interface upon login. |
