Galicaster can be used as an automatic in-room recording solution for the classroom, keeping the professor informed and in control, or it can be used as a mobile unit, perfect for recording meetings and conferences.

Our main goal is the creation of *multiple open 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].
Our main goal is the creation of *an aplication adaptable to different scenarios and equipment*. So far, two Galicaster configurations have reached a mature state of development:Fixed [Galicaster in the Class|Galicaster Class]room and [Galicaster for Mobile|Galicaster Mobile] operation.
* [Galicaster in the Class|Galicaster:Galicaster Class] (GClass) Class]room: The idea is designed to be in deploy Galicaster in a classroom environment with a basic set of controls and a tactile interface. It works automatically but some manual actions are available to the lecturers, such as muting the audio or pausing/playing/stopping the recording if desired.

* [Galicaster Mobile|Galicaster Mobile] (GMobile) for Mobile operation|Galicaster Mobile]: The idea here is a to buid a 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.

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

h5. Versatility

All branches of Galicaster are *virtually can be used alone, but it is *virtually adaptable to any publishing platform*, since they it keep all the recording metadata and video and audio tracks are recorded separately. Proof of this is the combined [Galicaster and Opencast Matterhorn|Galicaster:Galicaster and Matterhorn, the best match] installation which is already in production at the University of Vigo.

Galicaster can be seamlessly integrated with a wide variety of environments: low-cost, flexible equipments; best-performance, customized installations; existing campus-wide infrastructures; media distribution platforms, etc.
