BERLIN, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — faceVsion Technology Inc., a market innovator in enabling HD video communications for consumers and SMEs, announced today the availability of upgrade kits for PC users to power up their computers for two-way HD (720p/1080p) video communications over open broadband networks. The company will be showcasing in IFA a comprehensive range of products allowing HD video calls conducted through XMPP, SIP, and direct IP-to-IP connections.
Video conferencing ought to be a natural extension of the way people normally work and communicate. It should deliver true-to-life HD experience with no big upfront investment, and not be limited by the endpoints/hardware performance, ease-of-use, networking and infrastructure issues associated with traditional conferencing solutions and desktop conferencing solutions. faceVsion has thus made available a highly interoperable and flexible upgrade kit, the FVexpress(TM) family, for consumer and SMEs to utilize their existing desktops/notebooks/netbooks for HD video conferencing.
The upgrade kit has two options: FVexpress(TM) combo for true HD video call, and FVexpress(TM) pro for full HD video conferencing and ripping. While both options come with a wide variety of 720p webcam choice, a H.264 encoding/decoding Express34 card, and QuLives(TM) Manager (the reference software client) and able to deliver 720p 30fps video call over 800kbps bandwidth requirement, FVexpress(TM) pro has a highly flexible architecture allowing users to plug-in any mainstream HD camcorders and use them as professional pan-tilt-zoom camera for full HD (1080i/p) video conferencing under 2Mbps network. Furthermore, QuLives(TM) users can now interoperate with Google video chat users through public internet, allowing them to conduct intra- and inter- company video communications anytime they want with their PCs.
“Breaking down all barriers together with our partners to empower consumers and SMEs to benefit from HD video communication is where faceVsion stands for,” said Alex Huang, CEO of faceVsion. “We will continue to work with companies like Google to deliver best-in-class interoperable video communications solutions.”
“We’re excited to see faceVsion bringing HD video chat to everyday PCs,” said Justin Uberti, technical lead for Google video chat. “We’ve used open standards that make it easy for partners like faceVsion to interoperate with Google video chat and deliver a true HD video experience.”
