Polimedia is a system designed at the Universitat Politècnica de València for the creation of high resolution multimedia educational content{{cite web|url=https://media.upv.es/player/?id=0cda605b-5381-2d45-b40c-c1828447a212&autoplay=true|title=Polimedia|publisher=}} in a cheap and easy way.Turró, Carlos; Cañero, Aristóteles;Busquets, Jaime (2010). «Video Learning Objects Creation with Polimedia». 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia. {{ISBN|978-0-7695-4217-1}}
The specification consists of a mini-recording studio with a video camera, a computer for the author, and a computer for the capture and encoding process that produces an mp4 video with the author's video and the digital content presented in the computer.Turró, Carlos; Cañero, Aristóteles;Busquets, Jaime; Ferrando, Miguel (2009). «Polimedia: a system for successful video e-learning». Eunis 2009 International Conference The screenshot of the teacher's computer can be replaced by an overhead camera image or the output of an interactive screen if required.
The system is controlled by a technician (which requires minimal training) and creates videos without the need of postproduction, so the video is available almost in real time (with the only delay of the encoding time). The videos are stored on a local server system managed by a simple database and, in the latest versions, can be exported to YouTube and iTunesU.
The system has been running since 2003 at the UPV, where they have recorded over 16,500 videos,{{cite web|url=http://media.upv.es|title=media UPV|publisher=}} and has been implemented for the production of educational content in several Spanish universities such as Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB),{{cite web|url=http://polimedia.uab.cat|title=:: Polimedia ::|publisher=}} the Polytechnic University of Cartagena,(UPTC){{Cite web |url=http://www.polimedia.upct.es/ |title=Catálogo Polimedia UPCT |access-date=2012-02-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304055823/http://www.polimedia.upct.es/ |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead }} and the University of La Laguna (ULL). It has also been implemented in various organizations and universities around the world, including the University of São Paulo and the University of Honduras Global UNITEC.
The system was awarded one of the International Forum of Digital Content (FICOD) prizes in 2009{{Cite web |url=https://ficod.es/aplausos-para-los-mejores/ |title=2009 International Forum of Digital Content (FICOD) prizes |access-date=2016-04-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306185736/https://ficod.es/aplausos-para-los-mejores/ |archive-date=2016-03-06 |url-status=dead }} for the use of digital content to improve citizen services.
