Features

The PCS-1/1P Video Communication System is a videoconferencing system that provides natural, face-to-face communications with a remote party by transmitting and receiving images and sound via LAN (Local Area Network) or ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) connections.

Supports ITU-T international videoconferencing standard

The Video Communication System complies with ITU-T Recommendations defined by WTSC for easy connection with remote parties overseas.

ITU: International Telecommunication Union

WTSC: World Telecommunications Standardization Committee

Supports data conferences

Use of the optional PCS-DSB1 Data Solution Box allows the data from a personal computer to be incorporated in the presentation or to be shown on the projector.

Versatile use with a variety of display units

The Video Communication System is compact size, allowing easy installation on a 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 1920 Kbps. It also allows connection to as many as three ISDN lines; 6B channels usable by using the optional PCS-B384 ISDN Unit and as many as six ISDN lines; 12B channels usable by using the optional PCS-B768 ISDN Unit.

Wide range of video/audio compression format selectable

The Video Communication System supports Interlaced SIF, H.264, MPEG4, H.263+, H.263 and H.261 for video compression format, and MPEG4 Audio, G.722.1, G.722, G.729, G.728, G.723.1, 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.

Supports multipoint conference

Installing the optional PCS-323M1 H.323 MCU software (for LAN) or the PCS- 320M1 H.320 MCU software (for ISDN) allows conduct of a multipoint conference. The multipoint conference via LAN and ISDN connections mixed is also available if both the PCS-323M1 H.323 and PCS- 320M1 H.320 MCU software are installed in a main Terminal.

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
