{pop-away:metadata | comments | children | labels} h5. Introduction
The main goal of the Galicaster Project is to develop an open solution to provide *flexible, state-of-the-art solutions for recording educational multimedia contents*, like lectures and conferences. Galicaster project is supported by [TELTEK Video Research|http://www.teltek.es].
Galicaster capture solution is compatible with [Opencast-Matterhorn|http://opencast.org/matterhorn/]. [OPENCAST|http://www.opencast.org/]. Galicaster-based devices can work as improved Matterhorn capture agents. They can register as a capture agent, thus being able to receive scheduled recordings and ingest the resulting mediapackages automatically.
h5. New features on Galicaster 1.2.0
h5. Main changes on Galicaster 2.1.0
* Easier configuration by "Input Profiles"
* New exporting operations, zip and side-by-side to folder.
** Operations can be enqueued, performed immediately or scheduled for the night.
* Improved Blackmagic cards support.
* Runs on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

* Runs on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
* Optionally set and report "Error" state to Opencast when the audio is below a threshold for longer than a set amount of time. (lowaudio plugn)
* Optionally set and report "Error" state to Opencast when the Galicaster HDD has less available space than a set threshold. (checkspace plugin)
* Send "Offline" status to Opencast before closing Galicaster (for OC > 2.3.0)
* Muxing a pulse audio soruce into a v4l2 video source to the same file. (multistream bin by @ppettit)
* Allow unlocking the Galicaster touchscreen through LDAP credentials. (lockscreen plugin)
* Added configurable tags to the mediapackage tracks through the profile configuration.
* Now in Galicaster a default series field for the mediapackage can be set for manual recordings.
* Bugfixing and code refactoring.

h5. Main Goal
Galicaster can be used as an automatic in-room recording solution for the classroom, keeping the professor informed and in control, or it can be used as a mobile unit, perfect for recording meetings and conferences.

Our main goal is the creation of *multiple open applications adapted to different scenarios and equipment*. So far, two Galicaster applications have reached a mature state of development: [Galicaster Class|Galicaster Class] and [Galicaster Mobile|Galicaster Mobile].
Our main goal is the creation of *an aplication adaptable to different scenarios and equipment*. So far, two Galicaster configurations have reached a mature state of development:Fixed [Galicaster in the Class|Galicaster Class]room and [Galicaster for Mobile|Galicaster Mobile] operation.
* [Galicaster Class|Galicaster:Galicaster Class] (GClass) *Galicaster in the Classroom:* The idea is designed to be in deploy Galicaster in a classroom environment with a basic set of controls and a tactile interface. It works automatically but some manual actions are available to the lecturers, such as muting the audio or pausing/playing/stopping the recording if desired.
\\
\\
\\
* [Galicaster Mobile|Galicaster Mobile] (GMobile) *Galicaster for Mobile operation:* The idea here is a to buid a a complete portable recording station, providing full control on the recorded media. Operators can get real-time feedback from cameras and microphones, so that they can react immediately against any unexpected situation, manage a repository with all the recording media, delete many recordings in a single operation, send and resend media to distribution channels, label tracks, etc.
\\
Another goal pursued by the Galicaster Project is the creation of *end-to-end, complete working solutions for recording educational multimedia contents*, focusing not only on capturing matters, but also on providing connectivity with the publishing systems and the distribution channels.
h5. Versatility
All branches of Galicaster are *virtually adaptable to any publishing platform*, since they keep all the recording metadata and video and audio tracks are recorded separately. Proof of this is the combined [Galicaster and Opencast Matterhorn|Galicaster:Galicaster and Matterhorn, the best match] installation which is already in production at the University of Vigo.
Galicaster can be used alone, but it is *virtually adaptable to any publishing platform*, since it keep all the recording metadata and video and audio tracks are recorded separately. Proof of this is the combined [Galicaster and Opencast Matterhorn|Galicaster and Opencast, the best match] installation which is already in production at the University of Vigo.
Galicaster can be seamlessly integrated with a wide variety of environments: low-cost, flexible equipments; best-performance, customized installations; existing campus-wide infrastructures; media distribution platforms, etc.
