The Galicaster Project it's an effort to provide flexible state-of-the-art solutions for the recording of eductional multimedia contents like lectures and conferences. The main objective is the creation of multiple open source applications adapted to differents scenaries and equipments. There are two applications on a mature state of development: Galicaster Class and Galicaster Mobile.
Galicaster Class (link) is designed to be placed in a classroom environment with a touchscreen and basic controls. It works automatically but some features are avaliable: muting the audio, pausing the recording, manual start and stop if desired.
Galicaster Mobile (link) is a more complex tool aimed to professional "operators". It provides reviewing and repository managemente capabilities like massive deleting, re-ingesting, tagging, etc...
This applications are based on Python and GStreamer, both long term projects supported by large communities, ensuring addaptability to many distributions on the UNIX family operative systems. Any of them are adaptable to multiple HW like VGA grabbers, HD webcams or TV camera signal capturers.
All branches of Galicaster are virtually adaptable to any publishing platform since it records all streams separated and provide metadata handling.
