Hi,
For the amount you quote, I doubt that it is worth checking whether any of
the lecture capturing systems out there can work with your class setup.
But if you can fit your class around a conference table, maybe you could
look into formerly Microsoft Roundtable, now Polycom CX5000.
This technology recalculates a 360 degree video angle into a single
wide-screen picture.
If I remember correctly, it also switches on one of multiple directional
microphones to the direction of the active speaker.
This could be beneficial, since multiple microphones mixed down, because of
the slightly different travel times of the sound, can easily degrade the
overall sound quality.
Thanks,
Thomas
