1. Product Overview

1.1Functions

Reach Lecture Sharing System is a powerful system that integrates functions of course recording,

course management, and course release. This system can record the entire teaching process and

course content, including the PPT courseware and the teacher’s and students’ video signals (picture

and sound).

A lecture sharing system consists of the collecting device (Bee 7 Pro), media center (Media Center),

management platform (Bee Keeper), and touch panel. The networking diagram of a lecture sharing

system is as follows:

Figure 1 Networking diagram

In the preceding diagram:

The collecting device, media center, and management platform are in the same network.

i


The touch panel and collecting device are connected through serial ports for communication. Users

use the touch panel to send recording control commands to the collecting device.

The collecting device encodes source signals by high and low bit-rate streams, records the course,

and uploads the recorded file, through an IP network, to the media center for live streaming. The

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to upload files to the media center.

The media center automatically identifies users (PC or mobile terminal) that log in to the web page

to view recorded course files. PC users are allowed to view the PPT courseware and both the

teacher’s and students’ video images; mobile terminal users are allowed to view the PPT

courseware and only teacher’s video image.

Through the IP network, the management platform can be used to manage the media center and

collecting device, including alarm processing, device monitoring, remote control, and device

upgrade.

Functions provided by the collecting device (Bee 7 Pro) include:

Collecting the electronic whiteboard information and the teacher’s and students’ video and

audio signals. The video signals can be standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD) 1080p

signals. The maximum resolution of Video Graphics Array (VGA) signals is 1920 x 1200, with

the maximum frame rate of 30 fps.

Sending the collected signals to the media center for user query or to the management platform

for monitoring and remote control. Bee 7 Pro can automatically upload course videos to the

media center for users to view, edit, or send it to a third-party platform.

Functions provided by the touch panel include:

Connecting and controlling the collecting device through the serial port. The touch panel can

display the sound volume of the source signal, check the collecting device status, and enable

the collecting device to start, pause, or stop recording through different buttons.

Functions provided by the media center include:

Exchanging information with users and connecting the collecting device through the IP

network to carry out operations such as parameter setting and recording management.

Allowing users to log in to the web page to view the live image of the classroom or view the

recorded course videos on demand according to their permissions. Allowing the administrator

to set parameters of the collecting device, assign user permissions, configure the curriculum,

and edit and release course videos.

Functions provided by the management platform include:

ii


Connecting the media center and collecting device through the IP network to monitor the

status of the collecting device and remotely control cameras in the classroom.

Collecting alarm and log messages from the media center and collecting device.

1.2Advantages

Reach Lecture Sharing System has the following advantages:

Convenient usage: This system is compatible with the user system and Learning Management

System (LMS)/Content Management System (CMS) of the school in a seamless manner. With

the support for various terminals (such as PC, MAC computer, tablet computer, and

smartphone), this system enables students to access course resources at any time and any

place, making the learning easier.

Simple operation: This system can automatically start recording as scheduled (in the

curriculum). No action is required on the part of the teacher, which reduces the interference in

the teaching process.

Easy management and maintenance: This system uses a specialized system management

platform to manage and maintain all the video signal collecting devices in the campus in a

centralized manner.

2.1Hardware Requirements

The media center software can be installed only when the following hardware is configured as a

minimum requirement:

An X86-based server At least 4GB memory At least 1TB hard disk capacity, with RAID supported Gigabit Ethernet Support for the Linux operating system by each hardware driver CentOS Linux 6.0

The following servers are recommended:

PowerLeader X86 series Dell X86 series IBM X series

The following servers have passed the system installation test and are recommended:

PowerLeader PR2012NS Dell poweredge R710 HP 380G7 HP180G Dell poweredge R710 IBM X3650m3 Great Wall Zhi xiang R520

2.2Software Installation

The Media Center software installation package is saved in a compact disc (CD). You can insert the

CD into the CD-ROM drive to enter the system installation interface, as shown in the following

diagram:

v


Figure 4 Media center installation interface

Choose either of the first two “auto install system” options according to the hard disk capacity of

the server. To complete the installation process automatically, choose the first option for an 8TB

storage server and the second option for a 16TB storage server.

The auto-installation process takes about 30 minutes and no action is required.

The other options are provided for manual installation, which is complex and must be carried out

under the guidance of Reach’s technical support personnel.

After the media center software is installed, the system automatically assigns the default value to IP

address of the network card. To change the server IP address, the administrator needs to follow

operations in Step 3IP Configuration.
