User Guide - Recorder

{pop-away:metadata | comments | children | labels}
The main operation mode of Galicaster is the Recorder. The Recorder will show you a real-time preview of the devices set in the configuration.

We will take a short tour through some screen captures and see the different sections.

*Top Bar*

In the top bar you will find the current Status and a button to return to the main page. The current time is also displayed, which can be very useful.

The Status Area will show you the current state of the recording, which can be Iddle, Waiting, Recording and Stopped. Basically, you want to know if the program is actually recording or not.

*Event Panel*


The event panel will keep record of the upcoming recordings. It will show the title of the next recording and the time to go before it starts. Seconds before starting, this timer will start blinking to get everybody's attention. Once started the event panel will show a countdown till the end of the recording.
