To try this release you must fulfill these prerequisites:

Once you have your unit ready to go

h2. New features:

If you have used Galicaster before, you won't find many changes visually. Most of the work has been focused on new Operations upon packages, provida a Profile matrix and improve the Ingest service.
Other internal changes will be visible on further releases, when we release new plugins and features that are not ready yet.

h3. Profiles

A profile is a group of tracks configurated to run together to record a Mediapackage. Each profile can have one or many tracks, usually from 1 to 4 (two videos and two audios). You can shift between profiles on the profile menu, clicking on Load Profile on the left bottom corner of the welcome page.


h3. New operations

We have included two new operations: export to zip and make a size by size. All the operations, including ingest, can be triggered immediately or nightly (00 am local by default).

h4. Zip

The "export to zip" operation will zip without compression a mediapackage on the user main folder (usually /home/user/
On further release wes will improve the export to facilitate a direct export to shared folders and usb units

h4. Side by Side

The "side by side" will create a single file video with a side-by-side composition of both presenter and presentation videos. The audio will be attached to. The video is exported to mp4 extension and will be placed on the user main folder.


h3. Ingest improvements

In this new version of Galicaster Ingesting is more flexible. You can choose a immediate or a nightly ingest style, separately on manual and scheduled recordings. You also may configure the starting time of the nightly ingests.


h3. Configuration differences between 1.1.x and 1.2.0

Basically, your configuration will work on the new release.
Your track setup will be considered the "default" profile, so if you don't select a profile, or the profile name is wrong, the default profile will be loaded.

workflow-parameters = trimHold:true

h3. Media Manager new look

Media Manager has suffered some changes:
* Instead of ingest we have operations
* Each operation status is shown on the Manager
* Colors only affects operation
* Colors are configurable
* Classic color scheme is available and configurable (only set colors upon ingest status)
