How does Galicaster fit in Matterhorn?

Every Galicaster application can work as a basic Matterhorn capture agent. It can register as a capture agent, thus being able to receive scheduled recordings and ingest the resulting mediapackages automatically. The main advantages of Galicaster, compared to a standard Matterhorn capture agents are:

  • It has a graphic interface.
  • It can be manually operated.
  • Reingesting media is very easy.
  • Users can replay and review the recorded media, and
  • It provides media repository features such metadata edition, recording search, and bulk deletion (very useful when dozens of lectures have been recorded).
  • (New in 1.1) Custom workflow parameters can be set on each Galicaster agent.

Due to its seamless integration with Matterhorn, Galicaster can be used in combination with standard Matterhorn Capture Agents in the same installation, allowing institutions to choose the combination that meets their needs best.
