Description
Veritas Alta Capture Premium Audio/Video is a 3-year academic subscription license built for one named user and one dedicated connector, delivering enterprise-grade capture, preservation, and governance for universities, colleges, and research institutions. Designed to seamlessly integrate into existing Veritas ecosystems and institutional IT infrastructures, this solution makes it possible to capture authentic audio and video from classrooms, labs, interviews, and field research with reliability and security. The academic pricing through the Veritas ALP (Academic Licensing Program) makes it feasible to scale up media capture across departments while maintaining strict governance, retention, and compliance standards. Whether you are building a digital archive of lecture recordings, podcast interviews, or training footage for research projects, Alta Capture provides a robust, searchable media library with metadata that accelerates discovery and enhances evidentiary integrity for investigations, audits, and governance reviews.
- Comprehensive capture and metadata tagging: Alta Capture records high-fidelity audio and video from diverse sources and automatically tags rich metadata. This enables precise search, efficient review, and reliable preservation, supporting compliance, eDiscovery, and research documentation while preserving the integrity of the original media files. The metadata schema is designed to facilitate fast discovery, accurate cataloging, and seamless integration with institutional archives and governance workflows.
- Predictable, long-term license: A full 3-year subscription provides budgeting stability and uninterrupted access to ongoing updates and enhancements. Institutions can plan curricula, research initiatives, and compliance cycles without the disruption of frequent renewals. The extended-term model aligns with academic calendars and funded research cycles, reducing administrative burden while ensuring continuous access to cutting-edge capture capabilities.
- One user, one connector for streamlined governance: The license assigns a single named user and a dedicated connector, simplifying deployment and access control. This structure supports secure, auditable usage within academic environments and makes it straightforward to enforce role-based access, track usage, and demonstrate compliance during audits or governance reviews.
- Academic-friendly pricing and program support: As part of the Veritas ALP, institutions gain enterprise-grade capture capabilities at a price point tailored for education and research. This program ensures eligible organizations receive the same powerful features used by commercial customers, while benefiting from campus-focused pricing, standard support, and updates throughout the term.
- Security, governance, and policy-driven retention: Alta Capture includes built-in encryption, role-based access control, tamper-evident audit trails, and configurable retention policies. These features help universities meet data governance, privacy, and regulatory requirements, while enabling controlled sharing, secure archiving, and auditable evidence for investigations and research provenance.

How to Install Veritas Alta Capture Premium Audio/Video
- Step 1 — Prepare the environment: Begin by confirming hardware and software prerequisites, network readiness, and security configurations suitable for academic deployments. Verify that campus IT policies allow installation of capture components and that storage and backup systems align with archival requirements. Prepare a designated server or virtual environment for the Alta Capture components and ensure monitoring tools are in place for ongoing health checks.
- Step 2 — Activate the license: Access the Veritas ALP portal and register the 3-year subscription for the institution. Assign the 1 named user and the 1 connector to the appropriate campus account, ensuring proper role assignments and auditability from the outset. Confirm that the license status shows as active and that renewal notifications are configured for future planning.
- Step 3 — Deploy the connector and source integration: Install and configure the single connector to interface with the intended capture sources—such as lecture capture devices, interview setups, lab workstations, and field recording equipment. Verify connectivity to the capture endpoints, test data flow, and confirm that captured media are routed to the secure archive or governance repository as configured by campus policies.
- Step 4 — Configure governance, retention, and security: Establish encryption settings, role-based access controls, and retention policies aligned with institutional data governance standards. Define who can initiate captures, review assets, edit metadata, and perform audits. Implement tamper-evident logging and ensure that retention rules comply with university or research project requirements while enabling lawful eDiscovery and compliance reporting.
- Step 5 — Validate capture, search, and preservation capabilities: Conduct end-to-end validation by performing real-world capture scenarios: classroom lectures, research interviews, field recordings, and production of training media. Check metadata tagging accuracy, searchability, playback fidelity, and preservation integrity. Confirm that the media assets are discoverable through metadata queries and that governance controls function as intended.
- Step 6 — Training and rollout: Deliver user training for faculty, researchers, and staff on capture workflows, metadata tagging conventions, access controls, and governance procedures. Provide clear guidance on ongoing maintenance, updates, and how to handle incident response in case of security or compliance concerns. Plan a phased rollout to manage change across departments and labs.
