All the standard Galicaster Community-Edition features plus:

  • Web panel for Real-time feedback and control

    • System information: Galicaster logs, system performance and stats...
  • Advanced Live streaming:

Galicaster PRO has the following ways to stream your content. All of them can be either pushed to an external streaming server or Galicaster can act as a streaming server itself for a small number of clients.

    • Live stream two synchronous video feeds (presenter + presentation)
      • With the same quality they are being saved to file (really high quality, high bandwidth). Can be used for campus-wide distribution.
      • A lower quality version of the previous video feeds that are being saved to file (Constant Bit Rate) and that can be used to push a stream to the web (in this case, lower quality doesn't mean bad quality)
    • A Side-By-Side stream, as a result of a predefined 50-50 split screen with the two video inputs composed as a single stream. This layout can be changed. Additionally this stream can also be saved to a file.
    • An advanced PiP stream, where analyzing in realtime the presentation video stream, we detect free space in a selected corner of the frame and overlay the presenter over that free space, so we have a PiP video that dynamically adapts and takes advantage of that free space and that can be recorded to disk and/or streamed as it is. This solution is particularly useful for streaming to small screen devices (namely mobile phones or tablets) as it takes real good advantage of the screen real state while keeping the MH premise of delivering two video streams.
  • Self-Recording wizard
  • Compiled Binary format
