This paper presents the details of a system capable of recording on video a traditional class. By traditional class it is meant a teacher, a blackboard and a white canvas where course notes are projected. The system is able to track the movements of the lecturer, while recording it on video at the required frame rate (e.g., 25 fps). The system is also capable of understanding five arm gestures made by the lecturer with the intent of controlling which scenario is recorded: himself, the blackboard or the white canvas. The remaining two gestures are for start/stop the recorder. The system is composed by a Kinect sensor, a video camera, a microphone, one pan-tilt system and one pan system, using a total of three step motors.
