TV. The camera and the Communication
Terminal can be separately installed, allowing
for greater flexibility when using a large-size
plasma display, projector screen, etc.
High transmission speeds and
high-quality picture capability
The Video Communication System accepts
a LAN bandwidth of up to 1024 Kbps. It also
allows connection to as many as six ISDN
lines, up to 12B (768K) channels usable by
using the optional PCSA-B768S ISDN unit,
or three ISDN lines, 6B (384K) channels
usable by using the optional PCSA-B384S
ISDN unit.
Wide range of video/audio
compression formats selectable
The Video Communication System supports
H.264, H.263+, H.263 and H.261 for video
compression format, and G.722, G.728,
G.711 for audio compression format. You
can choose whether priority is given to video
or audio depending on the type of
conference or video/audio equipment used
by a remote party.
QoS (Quality of Service) function
for optimization of bandwidth and
traffic packet through network
"Packet Resend Request" and "Adaptive
Rate Control" functions incorporated,
allowing solution for busy network traffic or
packet loss, which provides consistent high-
quality communication.
Easy setup and operation
The Help menu appears on the monitor screen
for guidance of operation. The menus used for
the system administrator or those for conference
participants are separately displayed.
The Video Communication System supports
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to allow
automatic NAT configuration.
Memory Stick slot equipped
The Communication Terminal is equipped
with a Memory Stick slot, allowing the use
of still images recorded with a digital still
camera and stored in the "Memory Stick".
Dual monitor system
Two monitors can be connected to the
Communication Terminal, enabling the use
of one monitor for motion pictures, and the
other monitor for received pictures from a
computer (RGB pictures) or still images.
Supports encrypted
videoconferences
The terminal allows you to hold a strictly
confidential videoconference using standard
encryption, which complies with ITU-T
recommendations H.233, H.234, and H.235,
or Sony's original encryption.
When using standard encryption, an
encrypted videoconference between two
points is available via ISDN and/or LAN.
When using Sony encryption, an encrypted
videoconference between two points is
available via LAN or SIP.
Supports a conference using SIP
Installing the optional PCSA-SP1 SIP
software allows conduct of a conference
with an IP phone, etc. using SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol).
