The Galicaster Project is an initiative to provide flexible state-of-the-art solutions for recording educational multimedia contents like lectures and conferences. The main goal is the creation of multiple open-source applications adapted to different scenarios and equipment. There are two applications of Galicaster in 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 available to the lecturers: muting the audio, pausing the recording and manual start and stop if desired. Galicaster Mobile (link) is a more complex tool aimed to professional "operators". It provides media reviewing and repository management capabilities like bulk deleting, re-ingesting [habería que explicar o que significa ingest ou usar unha palabra máis xenérica], labeling, etc... This applications are based on Python and GStreamer, both long term projects supported by large communities, ensuring adaptability to many distributions in the UNIX operative systems family. Any of them can be adapted to multiple kinds of hardware, making recording possible from "many" devices like laptops, HD Webcams, TV Cameras, video players, microphones ... All branches of Galicaster are virtually adaptable to any publishing platform since it saves information of the recordings and all video and audio streams are recorded separately. The other goal pursued by the Galicaster Project is the creation of end-to-end, complete working solutions for managing educational multimedia contents, focusing not only on recording issues, but also on providing connectivity with the publishing systems and the distribution channels. Our experience enables us to provide a wide variety of solutions: from low cost, flexible units to best performance adapted installations, taking into account pre-existing deployments, publishing platfroms |
