Cattura Video

What Cattura Video does

Cattura Video operates as a video capture and broadcasting technology provider within the Vizrt Group (Oslo Børs: VIZR), based in San Antonio, USA. The company's flagship product, Viz CaptureCast, is a centralized network-based appliance that enables the capture, composition, streaming, and publishing of content from classrooms, meeting rooms, and events, built on NDI (Network Device Interface) video-over-IP technology. Core capabilities include automated micro-broadcasting with concurrent live recording and multi-destination streaming, web-based centralized control via the CaptureCast Command Center, presentation extraction, and multi-room scalability.

The product integrates natively with dominant third-party video management and streaming platforms — Kaltura, Panopto, and Opencast for video/LMS workflows, plus Vimeo and YouTube as streaming destinations — positioning CaptureCast as a front-end capture layer in enterprise and education video ecosystems. The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales on a quote-based, multi-year contract model with recurring software maintenance revenue for customers on current maintenance plans. Customer segments are higher education (lecture capture, hybrid classrooms) and enterprise corporate (meeting rooms, training, internal communications), with events and conferences as a secondary use case.

The business is small in scale (11-50 employees) and operates without disclosed standalone funding or revenue, consistent with its role as a specialist product line inside a larger publicly-traded broadcast technology group. Strategic positioning emphasizes reducing technical burden on presenters, enabling hybrid learning and hybrid work, and providing pre-tested interoperability with best-of-breed downstream video platforms.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• YuJa: YuJa provides video capture, management, and analytics solutions focused on higher education and increasingly enterprise. Its hardware and software capture offerings overlap directly with CaptureCast's lecture and meeting capture value proposition.
• Kaltura: Kaltura is a major video management and lecture capture platform serving higher education and enterprise. It offers its own capture products while also integrating with CaptureCast, positioning it as both a channel partner and a direct competitive alternative for capture-led video workflows.
• Panopto: Panopto is a leading video content management platform for education and enterprise with its own lecture/meeting capture appliance and software capture agents. It is both a direct competitor to CaptureCast in capture hardware and a core integration partner, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Echo360: Echo360 is a long-standing lecture capture specialist serving higher education institutions with both hardware appliances and cloud capture software. It competes head-to-head with CaptureCast in the same primary segment (universities and colleges) for automated classroom recording.
• VBrick Systems: VBrick provides enterprise video capture, distribution, and management including lecture/meeting capture appliances for education and corporate. It competes with CaptureCast in the enterprise meeting room and classroom capture segments.
• Sonic Foundry (Mediasite): Sonic Foundry's Mediasite is one of the original lecture capture appliances and continues to serve higher education and corporate customers with hardware-based capture and streaming, making it a direct competitor to CaptureCast.

Broad incumbents

• Poly (Polycom / HP): Poly is a broad incumbent in enterprise video conferencing and meeting room hardware (cameras, mics, room kits). It overlaps with CaptureCast's meeting room capture use case but as part of a much wider portfolio of collaboration devices.
• Crestron Electronics: Crestron is a broad AV room control and capture provider for enterprise and education meeting/classroom spaces. Its capture and room orchestration offerings intersect with CaptureCast's automated multi-room capture workflows, though Crestron plays primarily at the room-control layer.
• Logitech: Logitech provides meeting room video and audio hardware (Rally, MeetUp) used widely in enterprise meeting spaces and increasingly in education. It competes indirectly with CaptureCast by offering software/camera-based capture alternatives rather than dedicated capture appliances.

Emerging players

• Opencast: Opencast is an open-source lecture capture and media management platform widely used in European universities. It is both an integration partner for CaptureCast and an open-source alternative that institutions may choose over a paid appliance.
