Dear Leslaw,
> I am really impressed, and in particular in your Galicaster devices ! Thank you very much, Leslaw. To be honest, Galicaster is designed as a tool to fulfill our own needs. We are offering full Multimedia Services out-sourcing to a couple of local institutions, we do everything, from recording to publish, so when we planed to go Matterhorn we realized that we need something like Galicaster. In fact, we realized that we needed to address two different use-case: Automatic lecture recording (Galicaster Class), but also non automatic conference and guest speakers recording (Galicaster Mobile) If you wish, here you can check some Galicaster recordings (sorry audio in Spanish): http://tv.campusdomar.es/serial/index/id/46 User: prueba password: mh@mh; You can check a few English speaking recordings here: http://tv.campusdomar.es/library/matterhorn > Are you planning to sell complete devices or you would rather > publish (for free) device specification for the DIY purpose? We will release Galicaster SW for free for end users of HE and K12 Institution hoping that it could be usefull for other too. But, on the other hand we need to find a bussines model arround Galicaster, at least to keep the momentum and be able to continue the development of new version with new features. We will sell ready to run Galicaster devices, but Galicaster-SW works on any standard MH capture agent,(with epiphan and hauppage cards, it also works with USB cams), so a DIY approach will be, at least, as easy as with the standard MH-CA.
