Galicaster Class

{section}
{column:width=68%}{*}Galicaster Class* is our first full working version of Galicaster. Two units of the GClass capture agent prototoype would be deployed this Fall semester on either faculties of the University of Vigo.

Galicaster Class its designed to work as an *automatic capture agent* connected to an [Opencast-Matterhorn|http://opencast.org/matterhorn/] 1.2 server, allowing us to schedule multiple recordings remotely. When a recording its finished it will be ingested automatically - for those who don't know the Matterhorn schematics, the recording would be sent to the server where it will be processed and published afterwards.


On the user perspective, the teacher-user would have a *preview of both camera and presentation*, a recording pilot light as well as a timer for the next recording. About the audio Galicaster Class comes with a *simple VU meter* and a automatic warning if the microphone its muted.

*Take a look to the GTK interface* on the margin, with a design suitable to work on a touchscreen for an easy management on a day to day basis.
