Connection to Multiple Sites Clear Communication Easy to Use

The HDVC System can connect up to 10 sites without any optional equipment. It can connect via intranet or Internet, thus enabling multi-site videoconferencing with a client or with people in distant locations via mobile devices.

The HDVC System incorporates Panasonic's high-quality image and sound technologies cultivated in the development of various AV products over the years. The system conveys facial expressions and nuances of voices to facilitate discussions and remote lectures.

Panasonic's high-quality image technology

The digital home electronics platform Uniphier® system LSI achieves high image quality, making it possible to display facial expressions and gestures in clear, Full-HD images as part of the visual communication experience.

Connectable to products of different manufacturers

The KX-VC1600 and KX-VC1300 comply with the H.261, H.263 and H.264 international video compression standards. Therefore, they can connect to older product models manufactured by different companies as long as they comply with those standards. This allows phased system expansion while using existing videoconference equipment.
