	Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Qumu Corporation, its subsidiaries, and prior to July 3, 2013, its majority-owned joint venture, collectively hereinafter referred to as “Qumu” or the “Company.” All references to Qumu, Inc. shall mean the Company's subsidiary located in San Bruno, California. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Qumu’s enterprise content distribution software business provides the tools businesses need to create, manage, secure, distribute and measure the success of their videos and other rich content they create and publish. Qumu’s disc publishing business supplies customers in North America, Europe and Asia with industry-leading solutions that label, archive, distribute and protect content on CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs.
	In September 2013, the Board of Directors of Rimage Corporation approved a change in its name from Rimage Corporation to Qumu Corporation (Nasdaq: QUMU). The name change became effective on September 16, 2013.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in a complete set of financial statements have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the interim periods presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year, due to seasonal, operating and other factors. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates on items such as allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, inventory provisions, asset impairment charges, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, accruals for uncertain tax positions and warranty accruals. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgment. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using its technical knowledge, historical experience and other factors, including consideration of the impact of the current economic environment. Management believes its assumptions are reasonable and adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances change. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity, foreign currency and energy markets, and declines in business and consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any required changes in those estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company granted 53,998 and 167,498 stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and granted 3,000 and 72,740 stock options during the comparable prior-year periods. The stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included 50,000 non-qualified options granted outside of any shareholder-approved plan to a newly hired senior management level employee as an inducement to accept employment with the Company. The non-qualified options granted outside a shareholder-approved plan were structured to mirror the terms of the options granted under the Company's Second Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"), a shareholder-approved plan, and are subject to a stock option agreement between the Company and the employee.
	In September 2013, the Company completed an offer to exchange certain outstanding options to active non-executive employees. Eligible outstanding options were those that were granted before September 4, 2012 and had an exercise price of $13.50 per share or higher. Eligible employees participating in the exchange offer received new options determined by applying exchange ratios set forth in the exchange offer. The exchange ratios were calculated on an approximate “value-for-value” basis, meaning that the exchange ratios were intended to result in the grant of new options with an aggregate fair value approximately equal to the aggregate fair value of the eligible options they replace. The new options, which were issued under and subject to the terms of the Company's 2007 Plan, will all expire on the later of (i) the expiration date of the surrendered options for which they were exchanged or (ii) the third anniversary of the exchange date, September 19, 2016, subject to earlier expiration upon termination of employee services. New options granted in the option exchange will not be vested on their date of grant regardless of whether the surrendered option was fully vested. The new options granted to employees under the offer will not vest at all until the first anniversary of the date of grant. At that time, each new option granted will then vest as to that portion of the underlying shares that would be vested under the original vesting schedule of the eligible options that had been exchanged. Approximately 182,000 outstanding options were exchanged for approximately 29,000 new option awards. Options granted pursuant to the exchange offer have an exercise price of $11.87 per share, the closing price of the Company's common stock on September 19, 2013. The exchange offer was considered a modification but did not result in a charge or other financial statement impact.
	The Company granted 35,000 restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company did not grant restricted stock awards or restricted stock units during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company granted 2,800 and 66,924 restricted stock awards and restricted stock units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts principally to hedge intercompany receivables denominated in Euros and Japanese Yen arising from sales to its subsidiaries in Germany and Japan, respectively. The Company’s foreign exchange contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, gains or losses related to mark-to-market adjustments on forward foreign exchange contracts are recognized as other income or expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period in which the instruments are outstanding. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts represents the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward exchange contracts at the reporting date and is recorded in other current assets or other current liabilities depending on whether the net amount is a gain or a loss. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

As the Company’s foreign exchange agreement is subject to a master netting arrangement, the Company’s policy is to record the fair value of outstanding foreign exchange contracts as other current assets or other current liabilities, based on whether outstanding contracts are in a net gain or loss position, respectively. See Note 8, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information regarding the fair value measurements of derivative instruments related to foreign currency exchange contracts.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had one outstanding foreign exchange contract with a notional amount totaling approximately $333,000. This contract matures during 2013 and bears an exchange rate of 1.3267 U.S. Dollars per Euro. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of foreign exchange contracts resulted in a gross and net gain position of approximately $6,500, which is recorded in other current assets.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one outstanding foreign exchange contract with a notional amount totaling approximately $144,000. This contract matured during 2013 and bears an exchange rate of 1.2617 U.S. Dollars per Euro. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of foreign exchange contracts resulted in a gross and net loss position of $8,300, which is recorded in other current liabilities.

Realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments related to foreign currency exchange contracts and their location on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are as follows (in thousands):

The Company enters into its foreign exchange contracts with a single counterparty, a financial institution. The Company manages its concentration of counterparty risk associated with foreign exchange contracts by periodically assessing relevant information such as the counterparty’s current financial statements, credit agency reports and/or credit references. To further mitigate credit risk, the Company’s Foreign Exchange Agreement with its counterparty includes a master netting arrangement, which allows netting of asset and liability positions of outstanding foreign exchange contracts if settlement were required.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	A hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is in place that distinguishes market data between observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions by the reporting entity.
	The hierarchy is intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Three levels within the hierarchy may be used to measure fair value:
	•	Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	•	Level 2: Inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
	•	Level 3: Inputs are generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect an entity’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
	The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values is as follows at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (in thousands):

	Marketable securities are classified as Level 1 in the above table and are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. The Company uses quoted market prices as all of the certificates of deposit and treasury bills have maturity dates within one year from the Company’s date of purchase and trade in active markets.
	Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are classified as Level 2 in the above table and are carried at fair value based on significant other observable market inputs, in this case, quoted foreign currency exchange rates. Such valuation represents the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward exchange contracts at the reporting date.

	Computation of Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
	Basic net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share includes the potentially dilutive effect of common shares issued in connection with outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method and the dilutive impact of restricted stock units. Stock options and restricted stock units to acquire weighted average common shares of 1,838,000 and 1,894,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as their effect is anti-dilutive. Stock options to acquire weighted average common shares of 1,737,000 and 1,757,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares as their effect is anti-dilutive.

	Investment in Software Company
	As of December 31, 2012, Qumu Corporation's investment in BriefCam aggregated $2.8 million, consisting of $2.3 million in convertible preferred stock and a $500,000 convertible note receivable, resulting in a minority interest of less than 20%. BriefCam is a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis technology to augment security and surveillance systems to facilitate review of surveillance video. On January 16, 2013, the Company converted the aforementioned $500,000 note receivable into BriefCam's convertible preferred stock and concurrently participated in an additional round of funding of BriefCam's preferred stock issuance with a cash investment of approximately $350,000. In connection with the conversion of the note receivable and additional investment in BriefCam, the Company received warrants to purchase additional preferred stock in the same series and at the same price as the investment made in January 2013. Qumu's total investment in BriefCam of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2013 continues to represent a minority ownership of less than 20%. Qumu's investment in BriefCam of $3.1 million and $2.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, is included in other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Because Qumu's ownership interest is less than 20% and it has no other rights or privileges that enable it to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of BriefCam, Qumu accounts for this equity investment using the cost method. Through its seat on BriefCam's board of directors, Qumu monitors BriefCam's results of operations and business plan, and is not aware of any events or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the carrying value of its investment.

	Segments
	The Company has two reportable segments: disc publishing and enterprise content distribution software. The Company's disc publishing segment supplies customers in North America, Europe and Asia with industry-leading solutions that archive, distribute and protect content on CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. The Company’s enterprise content distribution software segment enables online distribution of content through live and on-demand streaming video as well as secure push-based content delivery to tablets, smart phones and personal computers through its enterprise video communications product line, acquired as part of the acquisition of Qumu, Inc.
	Management evaluates segment performance based on revenue and operating income (loss). The measurement of operating income (loss) excludes interest income and expense, other non-operating items and income taxes. The operating income (loss) for the Company’s enterprise content distribution software and disc publishing segments include all the direct costs of each business. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the measurement of operating income (loss) by segment includes an allocation of corporate expenses incurred to support each reportable segment. Previously reported amounts included all corporate and other unallocated expenses in the disc publishing segment, a portion of which were incurred to support the enterprise content distribution segment. The Company revised the amounts previously reported as operating income (loss) by segment to align to the current period's presentation. This realignment resulted in $689,000 and $1,984,000 of corporate and other unallocated expenses being allocated from the disc publishing segment to the enterprise content distribution software segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and had no effect on previously reported consolidated net sales or consolidated operating income (loss). The Company has not provided specific asset information by segment, as it is not regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for review at a segment specific level.

	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to net its liability for unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating losses or similar tax loss carryforwards, or tax credit carryforwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carryforwards are not available as of the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax position or the entity does not intend to use these carryforwards for this purpose. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. This new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
