Hi, Aaron: You'll probably get a much comprehensive response from the developers who are more involved with that part of the system in a short while, but I can give you an introductory explanation :)
AFAIK, the Capture Agent will perfectly record and pack 3 video streams in the same MediaPackage and submit it to the ingest service for processing. However, the workflows definitions (which specify the different stages the media goes through in order to be correctly processed and distributed) are currently expecting only two different flavors: presentation/source and presenter/source. Those "flavors" are used by the media composer as tags to identify the type of media and apply different processing operations depending on that. Therefore, if you wanted to have another extra stream processed, you have to "tag" it with another flavor, but then you'll need to modify the default workflow definitions to include the operations that should be applied to that flavor. Perhaps you will even need to create some custom operations to apply to your custom flavour. This is how you would get your media *processed*, but the distribution is another problem. The engage player is currently tied to two video streams + 1 audio stream at most. AFAIK, there's not way to play an additional video stream, and I don't know if work is currently being done to generalize the number of simultaneous videos displayed. I do know this feature is identified as a future nice-to-have characteristic, but I don't think this is a priority right now. Perhaps there is a simple way to specify which 2 out of the 3 video tracks you have are distributed to the engage player, but for the moment that is the best thing you can get. I'm sorry I cannot be more helpful, but you will surely get more detailed information from the people directly involved in the workflow design as soon as they read this email.
