h5. Main Goals

Our main goal is the creation of *multiple open-source 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].
* [Galicaster Class|Galicaster:Galicaster Class] (GClass) is designed to be in a classroom environment with a basic control set and a tactile interface. It works automatically but some manual actions are available to the lecturers: muting the audio, pausing the recording and manual starting and stopping if desired.
\\
\\
* [Galicaster Mobile|Galicaster Mobile] (GMobile) is 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.
\\
The +spirit+ of the Galicaster Project may be summarized in two mail goals:

Another goal pursued by the Galicaster Project is the creation of *end-to-end, complete working solutions for managing educational multimedia contents*, focusing not only on recording affairs, but also on providing connectivity with the publishing systems and the distribution channels.

h5. Key Features

* Touchscreen interface available.
* Recording may be triggered automatically or manually.
* Basic control of the recording in-place (start, pause, stop…)
* Live visual feedback of what is being recorded, including a vumeter for audio monitoring.
* Remote monitoring of the recording, via VNC.
* Finished recordings can be browsed, played, deleted or downloaded from Galicaster as a single "zip" file (MH-Media package format)
* Recordings can be ingested directly to an OC-Matterhorn core for publishing.
* It’s compatible with Matterhorn scheduling system

So far, two Galicaster applications have reached a mature state of development: [Galicaster Class|Galicaster Class] and [Galicaster Mobile|Galicaster Mobile].

h5. Versatility

Both applications are *based on Python and GStreamer*, both long term projects supported by large communities, ensuring adaptability to most of the operating systems in the UNIX family. They can also be adapted to multiple kinds of hardware, expanding the recording possibilities to many types of devices such as laptops, HD Webcams, TV Cameras, video players, microphones ...
