* h5. Advanced Live streaming:

Galicaster PRO has the following ways to stream your content. All of them can be either pushed to an external streaming server or Galicaster can act as a streaming server itself for a small number of clients.
** Live stream two synchronous video feeds (presenter + presentation)
*** With the same quality they are being saved to file (really high quality, high bandwidth). Can be used for campus-wide distribution.
*** A lower quality version of the previous video feeds that are being saved to file (Constant Bit Rate) and that can be used to push a stream to the web (in this case, lower quality doesn't mean bad quality)
** A Side-By-Side stream, as a result of a 50-50 split screen (per default. The layout can be changed), with the two video inputs composed as a single stream (additionally this stream can also be saved to a file)
** An advanced PiP stream,where using a custom computer vision algorithm, Galicaster checks for available free space in the presentation video and creates a composed Program in Program stream with the presenter scaled down to fit in the free space and that can be used for instance as a single streaming solution for mobile devices.
