First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising a media encoder configured to:
- (i) capture media from a media source device associated with the encoder and to store it as a media file; and
(ii) removably receive via an interface a hardware key for activating the capture of media on the media encoder upon connection of the key to the interface and to deactivate a capture on removal of the key.

9. A method, comprising:
-
enabling the configuration of a hardware key removably connectable to a media encoder, the media encoder configured to;
(i) capture media from a media source device associated with the encoder and to store it as a media file; and
(ii) removably receive via an interface the hardware key; and
configuring the key with one or more data files on a key, the data directing the encoder to (i) publish to of the captured media to specified network locations that are accessible by users;
(ii) set capture parameters (d);
(iii) authenticate security parameters;
(iv) perform specified logging related that can assist a user or administrator in troubleshooting the operation of the system;
(v) configure networking parameters; and
/or (vi.) send specified notifications such as notifying users that media files are published, or notifying administrators that errors have occurred in the capture process.
