h3. A. Cards and connectors

On your Galicaster Mobile unit you can use 3 different capture cards to record your multistream material. Depending on the scheme you are about to use you should combine different inputs.

* VGA grabber: Epiphan VGA2USB LR
* SDI capturer: Blackmagic Decklink SDI
* NTSC capturer: Hauppauge PVR-350

Depending on the scheme you're using you should connect your camera to the Blackmagic Card (SDI) or to the Hauppauge card (NTSC / PAL ). Appart for it, remember to connect the monitor to the graphical card output, not to the motherboard.

h3. B. Network Configuration



h4. B.1 Matterhorn configuration

If you have a OC-Matterhorn running you should ask your Matterhorn system manager for some information. First of all you need a *digest user* - a regular one won't work-, there is a default account for this matters that should be replaced for custom ones.

{code:none}
username: matterhorn_system_account
password: CHANGE_ME
{code}

You need the admin host address, port included. For example:

{code:none}
host = http://fakeadmin.matterhorn.com:80
{code}
You also need to stablish a default workflow and its parameters. Scheduled recordings will have his own workflow and parameters, set on the scheduling operation, but not the recordings started manually. The usual parameters you have to set are *captions* and *trimHold*, which value is *False* by default. The usual configuration is:

{code:none}
workflow = full
workflow-parameters = trimHold:true
{code}

If you have more than one parameter:

{code:none}workflow-parameters = trimHold:true;captions=True{code}

Finally, you have to decide if your recordings should be recorded automatically or not. If you want to do so, set *default* to True. All the configuration together will look like:

{code:none}
[ingest]
active = True
default = False
host = http://fakeadmin.matterhorn.com:80
username = matterhorn_system_account
password = CHANGE_ME
workflow = full
workflow-parameters = trimHold:true

Galicaster is configurated by a pair of files _conf-dist.ini_ and _conf.ini_. You can download two different models of _conf.ini_ depending on the cards you are using:

* Blackmagic + Epiphan: [conf.ini | http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/configs/bm_mobile/conf.ini]

* Hauppauge + Epiphan: [conf.ini | http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/configs/hau_mobile/conf.ini]

h4 C.1 Sound configuration

To have the best audio feedback on your interface you should configurate your audio inputs properly.

*Pulse input ( Line in):*
_If you are using the Hauppauge card you don't have to worry about all this._
First of all, go to the Sound Manager ( speaker icon on the top right corner of the desktop), select the input you are using and set it with no amplification, 100% volume.
Later, if you have distortion on your audio input, edit the conf.ini and set _amplification = 1.0_ on the AudioSource device.

*Headphones output*
Regulate this slide bar to a confortable sound level.

*Galicaster Vumeter*

If after configure the Sound Manager and your Mixer or Sound input device you still have problems, you should take a look to ALSA.
