*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. \[{color:#ff0000}review last sentence{color}\]
