h5. How does Galicaster fit in Matterhorn?
Every Galicaster application can work as a basic Matterhorn capture agent. It can register as a capture agent, thus being able to receive scheduled recordings and ingest the resulting mediapackages automatically. The main advantages of Galicaster, compared to a standard Matterhorn capture agents are:
Every Galicaster application can work as a standard Matterhorn capture agent. It can register as a capture agent, thus being able to receive scheduled recordings and ingest the resulting mediapackages automatically. The main advantages of Galicaster, compared to a standard Matterhorn capture agents are:
* It has a *graphic interface*.
* It can be *manually operated*.
* *Reingesting media* is very *easy*.
* Users can *replay and review* the recorded media, and

* Custom workflow parameters can be set on each Galicaster
Manual recordings can be introduced into the Opencast Matterhorn system like a regular scheduled mediapacakge.. Galicaster harvest the available series to use them to edit and catalog a mediapackage before ingesting. Also, a predefined workflow can be set for those recordings, including the paramaters.
Galicaster is compatible wiht Opencast Mattehorn 1.2, 1.3 and the upcoming 1.4.
* _(New in 1.1)_ Custom workflow parameters can be set on each Galicaster agent.
* _(New in 1.1)_ Custom workflow parameters can be set on each Galicaster agent.
