Minot State University does not recommend any particular device or device manufacturer versus another. These are NOT endorsements or lack of endorsement of any specific microphone or camera. The information below are merely examples of devices successfully used by other Tegrity users. If you do not see your device or the manufacturer of your device listed below, don’t worry. It will most likely work … just give it a try. And if you like a device that is not listed below, please let us know so that we can expand this list.

Selecting Microphones
Any good quality recording microphone will work fine. Recording microphone features to be consider include:

Connection type: wired or wireless
Connection port type: 3.5mm inputs, USB, Firewire, Bluetooth (USB easiest setup)
Directionality: uni-directional or omni-directional
Range: individual or room

Below are a few suppliers, in alphabetical order, of microphones that have been used by our clients.

Selecting Video Cameras
Similar to microphones, most video cameras that are handled properly by your operating system should work with the Tegrity recorder. Tegrity supports QuickTime™ (on Mac) and DirectShow™ (on PC) compatible video input devices. Most webcams, camcorders, and capture cards are compatible with both frameworks, and compatibility of a particular product can be confirmed using a supplier’s website or product documentation.

In addition, some of our clients have configured IP cameras to work with a DirectShow source filter so that Tegrity can record the video stream.
