1. Overview
1.1 Product Functions

produce latest developed by Shenzhen Reach IT Co., Ltd. It integrates functions of

Figure 1-2
Bee 7, media center, and management platform are in the same network.
The touch panel and Bee 7 are connected through serial ports for communications.
Users use the touch panel to send recording control commands to Bee 7.
Bee 7 encodes the collected source signals by high and low bit-rate streams, records
the course, and uploads the recorded file to the media center for live streaming
through an IP network. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to upload files to the
media center. The file uploaded to the media center will be deleted automatically on
the local PC.
When users log in to the Web page and play recording course files, the media center
will automatically identify users (PC or mobile terminal). PC users can get access to
the PPT courseware and both the teacher’s and students’ video images; but mobile
terminal users only the PPT courseware and the teacher’s video image.
