Planet eStream vs YuJa Lumina Video Platform

Planet eStream is an education platform that brings media management together with lecture and room capture, live streaming, digital signage, TV and radio resources, and photo management. Its room-capture tools can schedule and record lessons or lectures, then stream them using autonomous hardware. The system can capture several audio and video sources at once, including cameras, microphones, whiteboards, and projectors. Automatic transcription can add subtitles, and searchable transcripts are supported. A web scheduler works from any internet-connected device and can publish recordings to Microsoft Office 365 calendars; viewers can ask questions in live-stream chat. Administrators can manage access by user or group. Listed integrations include Microsoft Teams, OneNote, Sway, SharePoint, PowerPoint, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, and Google Classroom. Authentication options include Microsoft Azure AD, LDAP, Active Directory, Microsoft ADFS, SAML2/Shibboleth, and Google Login. Planet eStream is offered as a cloud platform or locally hosted option. Pricing is on request and modular; room capture has no per-room licence cost and no limit on rooms.
