Galicaster-PRO vs Stream

Galicaster-PRO is lecture and conference recording software for building a multi-stream recording unit on recommended hardware. It supports dual-stream recording at multiple qualities and live streaming, with separate presenter and presentation feeds. Two feeds can be combined in a configurable side-by-side layout or an intelligent picture-in-picture stream. Real-time media processing includes QR code recognition and slide-change detection. Its browser-based panel provides live audio and video monitoring, recording controls, profile and repository management, and system information. The maker says the panel works without plugins on desktop, Android, and iOS, while user roles can restrict access to functions such as monitoring and repository access. Supported capture sources include HD-SDI, HDMI, component, composite, RTP network cameras, Datapath cards, VGA, and DVI presentation inputs. It integrates with Opencast Matterhorn for scheduled recording and automatic ingestion, and the product page lists a REST interface plugin. Galicaster-PRO is deployed on-premise and is usually sold with a Galicaster unit; software licenses are available under certain conditions. Pricing is on request, with special discounts for Education. Direct streaming supports only a small number of clients, though streams can be sent to an external streaming server.

Stream is a video platform for institutions creating and delivering learning content through an LMS. It synchronizes recordings from Zoom, Teams and Webex, processes them and publishes them to matching courses. AI features include transcription, captions and translation in 98 languages, meeting-level answers, searchable transcripts with timestamp jumps, topic chapters and automatically created highlights; the site reports 98% transcription accuracy. Its media library provides browser editing, trimming, role-based permissions, controlled sharing and analytics. Listed LMS workflows cover Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, LTI and H5P, with dedicated Moodle plugins and automatic course matching. Stream is listed for web, API and self-hosted use, while deployment is described as cloud. There is no free plan, but a three-month Moodle pilot is offered without a credit card or commitment. Plans range from $29/month billed annually to custom enterprise pricing, with storage, integration, transcription and support differences.
