Every/Any Galicaster application acts as basics 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 differences with standard Matterhorn capturers is that Galicaster has *graphic interface*, it can be *controlled manually*, it's very *easy to reingest media* and provide *operativity to manage media* such as play, edit metadata, search recordings, and bulk deleting, very useful when dozens of lectures were recorded. \[{color:#ff0000}review last sentence{color}\]

As responsibles for the multimedia content management at the University of Vigo, we have seen that the number of hours of recorded content is gradually increasing, and the demand for recording more educational contents (lectures at Master and Bachelor degrees, as well as a good number of conferences hosted at any of the University campuses) is growing among the faculty and the students.
