- *Adaptable to *Compatible with many video devices*
Galicaster Cube2 is compatible with many video devices, from USB webcams to profesional cameras, and compatible with most signals formats: composite, components, svideo, HDMI, SDI, DV ... It also captures synchronously from VGA sources (a laptop or a computer, for instance) and audio sources such as microphones, audio mixers or a MP3 player.
Galicaster Cube2 works with a wide range of capture devices, from USB webcams to proffesional cameras, and is compatible with most video input formats: composite, component video, S-video, HDMI, SDI, DV... It also captures synchronously from VGA sources (e.g. a laptop or computer sharing its desktop) and audio sources (e.g. microphones, audio mixers, MP3 players, etc.).
- *Easy change between device combinations* combinations of inputs*
Galicaster Cube2 will walk you through the selection of combinations of this devices, known as profiles. Therefore, you can use the same unit to record just one video or install a multicamera environment and shift between profiles in a few clicks.
"Input profiles" are Galicaster Cube2's mechanism to create groups of capture devices that can be previewed and recorded together. Thus, users can switch from recording a single video to capture a multi-camera environment in a few clicks.
- *All media accesible and operative* ready to use*
Galicaster Cube2 also features a repository with all the recorded media, with a comprehensive set of operations to manage the collection: sorting old recordings, deleting many recordings in a single operation, adding information to the recordings, etc.
Galicaster Cube2 also features a repository with all the recorded media. A comprehensive set of operations is available to use on the recordings in the collection, such as sort finished recordings, delete several recordings in a single operation or add metadata (title, description, name of the presenter, etc.) to the recordings.
- *Flexibility on encodingc and bitrate selection*
Galicaster allows you to choose the encoding and bitrate of each of your streams - typically 2 videos and 1 audio - giving the option of creating light files ready to be published without further processing.

- *Flexible encoding settings*
Users can set up some encoding parameters (such as the codec and/or the bitrate) in order to customize each of the captured video and audio files. This make it easy to integrate Galicaster with other systems that support an specific set of audio/video formats. This feature can also be used to reduce the number of steps to transcode the video (and audio) files into a format suitable for the selected distribution channels \--Galicaster can simply generate files in such format.

h4. Cube2 use cases
Galicaster Cube2 is commonly used on mobile operations. Having the computer and the screen integrated allows you to move the unit to the right location, prepare the wiring easily and be ready to test and record in a few minutes.
Galicaster Cube2 is commonly used for mobile operations. Its compact design with a small form-factor case with an integrated screen makes it very easy to transport the unit to the desired location, set it up with almost no wires required and be ready to record in a few minutes.
Together with a OnWheels kit *LINK*, you can transport your unit and the auxiliary hardware ( camera, tripod, wiring, audio mixer ...) in and protected wheeled case, safe from damage and all in one bundle.
Together with an OnWheels kit *LINK*, your unit and auxiliary hardware (camera, tripod, wires, audio board...) can be comfortably transported in an protected wheeled case. Everything in a single bundle and safe from accidents.
However, if needed, Galicaster Cube2 can assume the role of a fix recording station on a classroom, a MOOC studio or a conference hall.
If so required (even though it is not the primary goal it was designed for), Galicaster Cube2 can be used as a fixed recording station in a classroom, MOOC studio or conference hall.
