HD Visual Communication System
PCS-HG90
As the quality of IP networks advances and videoconferencing technology
evolves, we can communicate more effectively and efficiently regardless of
location or the distance separating us. But for top-end professional
applications demanding the highest image quality such as with live
interview broadcasts, product design conferences, and distance learning
including medical teaching, standard videoconferencing systems will have
limitations. To meet these demanding professional needs, Sony introduces
an exceptional high definition (HD) visual communication system, the
PCS-HG90. Sony is a leader in the AV industry and has produced a number
of high-quality HD systems. And by inheriting this HD technology, the
PCS-HG90, is sure to prove itself as a major player in the HD visual
communications market. For the first time in this industry, a high definition
video format of 1280 x 720 at 60P and a maximum video transfer rate of
8Mb/s over an IP network has been achieved. With its advanced H.264 HD
video codec and its high-resolution and high frame rate of 1280 x 720
60P/30P, the PCS-HG90 boasts realistic and lifelike images even on large-screen
displays. In addition to high-quality images, the PCS-HG90 features clear
and natural-sounding audio, with its wide frequency range of up to 22 kHz
using MPEG-4 AAC (Advance Audio Coding). What’s more, when using audio
AUX inputs, the unit supports a wider frequency range of up to 44 kHz, to
provide superb-quality audio from a number of different sound sources.
Also, what makes the PCS-HG90 unique is that it can accept analog or digital
video signals, from SD to HD, as well as PC signals. And because the
PCS-HG90 accepts standard video signals via its BNC connectors and stereo
audio via XLR connectors, the system is ideal for configuring with
professional Audio/Video equipment. An optional PCSA-CHG90 camera unit
can be used with the system to provide high quality HD video and a PTZ
(Pan/Tilt/Zoom) capability. Additional features of the PCS-HG90 include a
four site multi-point videoconferencing capability, site-name display, and
ITU-T H.235 encryption.
For customers demanding effective communication with lifelike audio and
video, the PCS-HG90 Visual Communication System can provide a reality
never before achieved and it is the ideal choice to meet these demands.
