Main Features
All-In-One Design
Unlike typical videoconference systems, the PCS-TL50P has everything you need built into a single package that can double as a PC monitor. Its bright 20-inch wide display can properly present images in both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. The unit also has a built-in digital PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera that is used to precisely capture images, and a privacy shutter that can be closed at times when you prefer not to receive videoconference calls. In addition, built-in speakers and microphones provide high audio quality during videoconferences.
Easy Operation
The PCS-TL50P is thoughtfully designed with an intuitive GUI and a user-friendly remote commander unit. Displaying only required information, the menus are intuitive and easy to navigate; in addition, text messages are displayed at the bottom of the screen as a guide. Buttons on the remote commander unit are cleanly situated for ease of use. And one-touch operation makes it quick and simple to change display layouts, capture images, and place calls.
Easy Setup
With a built-in Ethernet interface, the PCS-TL50P can be configured by simply plugging it into a LAN and making a few quick settings on its intuitive setup menu. The PCS-TL50P supports datatransfer rates of up to 2 Mb/s over IP networks, making high-quality videoconferencing possible.
An optional PCSA-B768S or PCSA-B384S ISDN Unit (network adapter) is available for videoconferences over ISDN networks; these units support data-transfer rates over ISDN lines at up to 768 Kb/s or 384 Kb/s, respectively.
User-Friendly One-Click Dialling
Aparticulary user-friendly feature of the PCS-TL50P is one-click dialling, which allows you to easily connect to any of your listed contacts with a click on the screen. By pre-programming your contact information, picture icons and contact names will appear at the bottom of the main menu. Calls are placed by pressing the button on the remote commander unit that corresponds to the picture icon. Up to 30 contacts in the phone book can be flagged for one-click dialling.
Memory Stick™ Support
Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO support allows users to store their contact information, still image data received from videoconferencing counterparts and images from conferences on a Memory Stick. You can simply insert the Memory Stick and the unit automatically recognises and activates the user’s private phonebook, eliminating the need to re-enter contact information. Memory Stick support is also of real benefit to network administrators, allowing them to store, for example, factory settings, firmware updates or other network settings and configurations on a Memory Stick and use that to update or re-configure units quickly and easily.
Data-Sharing Capabilities
Data originated on your PC can be shared with your videoconferencing counterparts, making communication even more effective. Any image that can be displayed on a PC can be sent or received in native XGA resolution, allowing all parties to share data during a videoconference.
Picture-in-Picture/Picture-and-Picture
With the choice of Picture-in-Picture or Picture-and-Picture (split screen) layout options, both near- and far-end video and/or data can be displayed in a manner that is pleasing to the eye.
Multitasking (Simultaneous Video- conference/PC or Video Display)
With the PCS-TL50P, you can continue to work on your PC even while you are on a videoconference call. This unique feature is ideal for busy executives who want to increase their productivity.
Excellent Video Quality
The PCS-TL50P complies with the ITU H.264 video codec in addition to previous versions of ITU videoconferencing codecs to maintain compatibility with legacy systems. ITU H.264 is the latest standard that offers high-picture quality at a much lower bit rate than the H.263 standard.
Superb Sound
Clear and natural-sounding audio is produced with the PCS-TL50P as it supports MPEG-4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) at 14 kHz.* Boasting dual-integrated speakers and microphones, and a built-in echo canceller, audio quality is much higher than conventional speakerphone systems. Also, a microphone jack and a headphone jack are available for external microphone or headset use.
*MPEG-4 AAC is available with a peer-to-peer connection
only.
