1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing SkypeConf Skype video conference box.
Video Conference can save travelling and increase employee efficiency, so it
has been a must-to-have equipment for enterprises. Most available video
conference systems are built based on protocols like SIP, H.323, H.264,…,
etc. Usually company needs to buy multiple equipments for different location
conferences. It is expensive and the conference participants are limited.
Skype provides a free, open video conference platform with 300 million users
now. With PC, web cam and audio device, a free Skype video conference
can be performed.
Regintech’s Skype video conference box SkypeConf supports Windows XP,
7, 8 and 10. It perfectly combines Skype’s video/audio conference service.
Using this device to connect with office existing analog conference system
greatly enhances Skype audio experience. Besides, one telecom carrier
landline can be added to increase flexibility and convenience of Skype
conference. During a Skype conference, users just need to pay attention to
our conference management interface and Skype video call window. It saves
the efforts to find functions from Skype interface and improves employee’s
willingness to use conference.
SkypeConf provides a Skype style and instinct interface, so Skype users can
be quickly familiar with the system. Even non-Skype users can easily adopt it.
According to Skype, now you can share a group video call with up to 25
people (24 plus yourself) for the free Skype version. Ten video streams (9
plus yourself) can be visible at one time and the rest will be audio.
Through our simple conference management GUI, employees can quickly set
up a conference room and start a conference call. When one landline is
connected with SkypeConf device, conference host can check the incoming

landline call first and then add it into the on-going Skype conference. We add
a few features to let the conference call run more smoothly like preventing of
non-conference room member’s dial in during a meeting, picking up the
incoming Skype calls and redialing the incidentally dropped calls during a
conference. Besides, Skype audio recording can help enterprise business or
education application a lot. Skype file transfer and screen sharing do a big
favor for business meeting or project collaboration.
This box supports IM mode for other conference softphones like Lync,
Google voice and hangouts as a USB audio device. Via connection with a
conference phone, meeting voice quality is highly enhanced. Besides, this
box can also be adopted as a Skype gateway to connect with existing office
PBX or analog phones. With such installation, employees can pick up office
desk phones for Skype or SkypeOut calls. The established conference room
numbers can also be used as a speed dial number for an audio conference
call. Conference host can manage the conference call via remote
management tool. Employees out of office can make free Skype calls to
company Skype account for any office extension to save expensive
international calls or mobile calls. By the way, remote monitor function can
help people do remote monitor for homes, offices, stores, ..., etc. This
function will also help people run online stores, hotels or restaurants.
