This area will compile all the information available about the daily use of Galicaster. Some of this information is also available in the _docs_ folder of the source code.
Galicaster can be operated as Galicaster Class or as Galicaster Mobile, the first one driven by the lecturer and the other one only accessible by editors and technicians.
Galicaster has two main operation modes: Recorder and Media Manager. To access the Media Manager - and the player - you need to activate the administration mode in the configuration.
When running it as Galicaster Mobile the main page will welcome you and allow you to chose between [Recorder|1.1 User Guide - Recorder] and [Media Manager|1.1 User Guide - Media Manager]. You can return to the main page any time you want, as shown in the graphic below. As Galicaster Class the Recorder is the only area available.
Once activated, when running Galicaster the main page will welcome you and allow you to chose between Recorder and Media Manager. You can return to the main page any time you want, as shown in the graphic below. If the administration mode is disabled, only the recorder is available.
For a deeper information please take a look to the following pages:

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 to get everybody's attention. {color:red}Que fai exactamente? Parpadea, cambia de cor?

Buttons will allow you to manage a manual recording, starting and stopping it at will. In administration mode, the Edit Button will be instead the Help Button, which allows to edit the recording metadata and making it easier to find in the Media Manager list.
The ability to Pause recordings will be soon available in the upcoming releases.
