PCS -1 Features
Data-Sharing Capabilities:
Share computer or handwritten
material through the PCS-1 in real time to remote sites for faster,
more succinct presentations — without spending additional time
e-mailing or faxing information.
Flexible Installation:
The PCS-1’s unique two-piece design affords
you the ability to accommodate any installation requirement for a meeting
room layout designed to your tastes. From corporate board rooms to
small offices, the PCS-1 is the right fit.
Superb Audio Quality:
With advanced audio coding at 14kHz and
MPEG-4 compliant, the PCS-1 emits superb audio quality on a point-to-point
videoconference via a network with double the bandwidth frequency of
conventional audio encoding.
State-Of-The-Art Video Quality:
Equipped with encoding
capabilities compliant with the ITU-T H.264 standard for network-based
videoconferencing, the PCS-1 incorporates Sony’s core technology for video
excellence and can reach up to 2Mbps and 30 frames per second.
Multi-Point Videoconferencing:
Connect up to six sites in continuous
presence using any combination of ISDN or IP connections with the optional
multi-point software. For IP-only conference calls, users can connect up to
ten sites by using two PCS-1 units with optional multi-point software.
Quality of Service Enhancement:
Utilizing built in technology for
unparalleled videoconferencing, Sony’s QoS technology results in minimal
interruptions and better performance while conferencing on the public
Internet or on LAN/WAN networks.
State-Of-The-Art Security:
Protecting the security of private
information discussed on an IP conference call through the industry-
standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a standard feature on
the PCS-1 giving users a high-end feature without the high-end price.
Multiple Camera and Microphone Support Easy Upgrades:
The PCS-1 offers an optional second camera and microphone designed to
meet any requirement for a large room installation or room design requisites.
Users have full control over the second camera for a more flexible meeting.
