h4. Touchscreen

The Graphical User Interface of Galicaster is designed in a user-friendly, easy-to-use, big-sized style, making it suitable for tactile devices, specially high resolution touchscreens. However, there's nothing against using it with a classic mouse and keyboard interface.

Any touchscreen compatible with your distribution will fit with Galicaster.

h4. Capture Devices 

In this release, two reference configurations are proposed. One uses an USB web camera the other uses a video capture card, such as the Hauppauge PVR350. In both cases, using a VGA capture card model VGA2USB or superior is recommended.
