h4. What is Galicaster CUBE2 ?

Galicaster CUBE2 is a mobile multistream recording station designed for mobile operations.

At first glance, CUBE2 has a *15" tactile widescreen integrated* in the case which provides mobility and a quick set up. A wireless keyboard and touchpad may be included with the unit, and the screen is powered through the computer, thus symplifing wiring and installation, *reducing the space and time needed for setting up the recording station*.

From a hardware point of view, it is a powerful unit based on Intel's Core i7, with a extremely silent box and power supply and a computer based on heavy duty components.

h4. Main features

Teltek's Galicaster CUBE2 has [Galicaster 1.3.0|Galicaster:Download Galicaster] pre-installed, tested and ready to run with the assembled capturing hardware. *Galicaster software provides real-time feedback from the captured inputs*, both audio and video, *allowing operators to monitor and control the recordings* and react and solve unexpected situations on site.

Galicaster software provides a high flexibility on recording matters. Galicaster allows you to *choose the encoding and bitrate* of each of your streams (typically 2 videos and 1 audio) giving the option of creating light files ready to be published without further processing . Also, recordings can be exported from the separated stream-style (each source in one fil) to a *customizable side-by-side composition* of the original files.


h4. Why purcharse Teltek's Galicaster units?

Teltek's is the developer of Galicaster and also a contributor to the Opencast Matterhorn platform. We work as responsibles or advisors to several deployments of Galicaster + Opencast Matterhorn around the world and we handle dozens of hours of recordings every week.

Galicaster units answer the needs for a constant development and integration within the system administration of your institution or company allowing the use of typical monitoring tools. Our units are assembled as clonics computers with mainstream heavy duty computer components which pass additional testing and resist the day-to-day work of production systems.

In addition, Teltek provides advise and support not only for your unit but also for the *adaptation and enhacement of facilities* to a renewed multistream environment, the *set up of a Opencast Matterhorn cluster* and the *publishing of media* through channels such as Youtube, iTunes-U, media portals, Moodle, Pumukit, Paella Player and others.

Galicaster CUBE2 is commonly used on mobile operations. Having the computer and the screen integrated allows you to move the unit to the right location, prepare the wiring easily and be ready to test and record in a few minutes.

Together with a OnWheels kit *LINK*, you can transport your unit and the auxiliary hardware ( camera, tripod, wiring, audio mixer ...) in and protected wheeled case, safe from damage and all in one bundle.

However, if needed, Galicaster CUBE2 can assume the role of a fix recording station on a classroom, a MOOC studio or a conference hall.
