*{_}Open Source Lecture Capture & Video Management for Education{_}*

Opencast Matterhorn ({color:#0000ff}link{color}{color:#0000ff}, also in the logo{color}) is a free open-source platform for the management of multimedia educational content,. Matterhorn it's used to create a complete environment to fulfill the needs of the production and distribution of multistream lectures. All the steps controlled, from the scheduling of recordings to the distribution channels.

Matterhorn creates a modular system to provide a sophisticated set of administration tools to manage capturers, configure media processing workflow, stablish distribution channels and even publish the contents in his own standalone player.

*How Galicaster fits in on Matterhorn?*

Every/Any Galicaster application acts as basics 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 differences with standard Matterhorn capturers is that Galicaster has *graphic interface*, it can be *controlled manually*, it's very *easy to reingest media* and provide *operativity to manage media* such as play, edit metadata, search recordings, and bulk deleting, very useful when dozens of lectures were recorded. \[{color:#ff0000}review last sentence{color}\]


While conected, GClass will communicate with the Matterhorn server, receive scheduled events and return completed recordings. All with the certainty of both and video properly recorde.

When iddle, the Galicaster-Matterhorn unit will work as a wo
