MEDIA ALERT
• 2010/7/14 | Press releases : faceVsion®
delivers unrivalled true HD quality to Skype™
users with the TouchCam™ N1
Henley-on-Thames 14 July 2010– faceVsion
today announced the launch of their range
of video conferencing products to the UK
market, bringing high quality HD resolution
video to life for Skype users.
Founded by Quanta, a fortune 500 company
and the world’s leading netbook and notebook
manufacturer with 30% of the global market
share, faceVsion specialises in developing
high definition video communication solutions
for use over the internet, without the need
for a leased line.
faceVsion’s Chief Operating Officer, William
Tan, said,
‘The UK is a very important territory for
us and a successful launch here will help
to raise awareness and increase our presence
across Europe as a whole, a key objective
for faceVsion over the next few months.’
The first product to launch in the UK is
the TouchCam N1. Retailing at around £90,
it offers unparalleled video conferencing
quality at an affordable price, making it
an ideal product for small businesses and
for families and friends to stay touch around
the world.
The TouchCam N1 is unique in that Skype
automatically switches to true high definition
720p quality with 16:9 aspect ratio. The
true HD resolution is made possible by the
fact that the H.264 encoder is built into
the camera itself, saving valuable processing
space.
The 78 degrees field of view auto-focusing
lens means that several people can easily
use the product at the same time and its
unidirectional dual microphones offer superior
audio with a low amount of background noise.
The TouchCam N1 easily fits almost any laptop
or computer screen. There are no software
drivers to install, the camera simply plugs
into the USB drive of a laptop or PC and
is instantly ready to use.
Commenting on the launch of the TouchCam
N1 to the UK market, European Managing Director
Darren Chen said;
The TouchCam N1 is the only VideoCam that
has with the processor built in, ensuring
true HD resolution from start to finish,
with no upscaling. Its superior quality
makes video conferencing a viable option
for small businesses, saving them valuable
time and money. For families and friends,
it is the closest thing to being there in
person.’
The TouchCam N1 will be available in the
UK from the end of July 2010 and will be
distributed by FaceVsions’s master distributor,
Imago.
