What is Galicaster-PRO ?

Galicaster-PRO (GC-PRO) is a powerful lecture and conference recording software. Running on the recommended Hardware it builds a fully featured multi-stream recording unit. GC-PRO is a compiled, optimized and enriched version of Galicaster Community-Edition Software.

Galicaster-PRO exclusive features

All the standard Galicaster Community-Edition features plus:

  • Web panel for Real-time feedback and control 
    • Real-time AV monitoring on a web-browser: Operators are able to remotely monitor audio and video in real-time and control the recordings, and react to and solve unexpected situations on the spot. (any browser works without plugins) 
    • Repository management: edit metadata, browse content, download as tracks and as a zip file, dual-stream playback...
    • Users and Roles: Users in the web panel have roles that limit what they can do (a videographer will only have access to confidence monitoring and system status, a producer will have access to the repository, etc..)
    • System information: Galicaster logs, system performance and stats...
  • Advanced Live streaming:

Galicaster PRO has the following ways to stream your content. All of them can be either pushed to an external streaming server or Galicaster can act as a streaming server itself for a small number of clients.

    • Live stream two synchronous video feeds (presenter + presentation)
      • With the same quality they are being saved to file (really high quality, high bandwidth). Can be used for campus-wide distribution.
      • A lower quality version of the previous video feeds that are being saved to file (Constant Bit Rate) and that can be used to push a stream to the web (in this case, lower quality doesn't mean bad quality)
    • A Side-By-Side stream, as a result of a 50-50 split screen (per default. The layout can be changed), with the two video inputs composed as a single stream (additionally this stream can also be saved to a file)
    • An advanced PiP stream,where using a custom computer vision algorithm, Galicaster checks for available free space in the presentation video and creates a composed Program in Program stream with the presenter scaled down to fit in the free space and that can be used for instance as a single streaming solution for mobile devices.
  • Self-Recording wizard
  • Compiled Binary format
