h3. A. Cards and connectors #cards
----
On your Galicaster Mobile unit you can use 3 different capture cards to record your multistream material. Depending on the scheme you are about to use you should combine different inputs.
The Galicaster Mobile Unit comes equipped with different inputs to fulfil your needs on recording multistream material. Depending on the devices you are about to use you should combine those inputs properly.
* VGA grabber: Epiphan VGA2USB LR
* SDI capturer: Blackmagic Decklink SDI
* NTSC capturer: Hauppauge PVR-350
* SDI capturer: Blackmagic Decklink SDI
* NTSC capturer: Hauppauge PVR-350
There are two main combinations, depending on the type of camera (NTSC or SDI) you use to record the presenter. In both cases you have to use a VGA grabber to record the slides. Those combinations will be explained briefly on the next two sections.

Please, take a closer look to the image to identify the ports of each capture card before connecting anything.

Depending on the scheme you're using you should connect your camera to the Blackmagic Card (SDI) or to the Hauppauge card (NTSC / PAL ). Appart for it, remember to connect the monitor to the graphical card output, not to the motherboard.

Galicaster configuration is specified in two files _conf-dist.ini_ and _conf.ini_. You can download two different models of _conf.ini_ depending on the cards you are using:
If you have a OC-Matterhorn running you should ask your Matterhorn system manager for some information. First of all you need a *digest user* - a regular one won't work-, there is a default account for this matters that should be replaced for custom ones.

You need the admin host address, port included. For example:
Now, it's time to configure the card you've selected and audio. More information about this matter is available [here|1.1 Cookbook].

h4. B.1 Hauppauge configuration

Before running Galicaster you may have to configure your Hauppauge card. Connect your camera and do the following:
*Standard selection*
You have to choose between a list of standards. To list and select the standard, run in a shell:

You also need to stablish a default workflow and its parameters. Scheduled recordings will have his own workflow and parameters, set on the scheduling operation, but not the recordings started manually. The usual parameters you have to set are *captions* and *trimHold*, which value is *False* by default. The usual configuration is:
*Input selection*
Depending on the input you are using you have to choose between S-Video (4-pin) and Composite (RCA). To list and select the input, run in shell:

Once you identified the format you want to capture, edit the _conf.ini_ file you've just downloaded. Search for the _track_ Blackmagic and change the parameters _input_ and _input_type_ for their right values. Some try-and-error may be neccessary since maybe you can't gather all the information from your video source.
The _p_ in 1080p stands for _progressive_
The _i_ in 1080i stands for _interlaced_

If you have a OC-Matterhorn running you have to ask your Matterhorn system administrator for some information.
First of all, You need the admin host address, including the port. For example:
{code:none}
host = http://fakeadmin.matterhorn.com:80
{code}
You also need a *digest user* - a regular one won't work. There is a default digest account that should be replaced with your own values.
{code:none}
username= matterhorn_system_account
password= CHANGE_ME
{code}
You also need to set up a default workflow and its parameters. Scheduled recordings will have his own workflow and parameters, defined in the scheduling operation, but the recordings started manually won't. The usual parameters you have to set up are *captions* and *trimHold*, which default to *False*. The normal configuration is:
{code:none}
workflow = full
workflow-parameters = trimHold:true
{code}
If you set up more than one parameter:
{code:none}workflow-parameters = trimHold:true;captions=True{code}
Finally, you have to decide if your recordings will be recorded automatically or not. If you want to do so, set *default* to True. All the configuration together will look like:

default = False
host = http://fakeadmin.matterhorn.com:80

This piece of code must be written on one of the configurations file. Be aware that values in _conf.ini_ will overrule its equivalent in _conf-dist.ini_.
