Introduction

Feature Highlights

DCE: Data Circuit-terminating Equipment

Lifelike Visual Communication

You can experience lifelike visual communication*1 with smooth, high-quality video and clear stereo*2 sound.

If you are using the KX-VC300, sending images in Full HD can only be done by purchasing an activation key card (KX-VCS401) to activate this feature (Page 117).

If using 2 or more Digital Boundary Microphones, stereo output can be enabled through system settings (Page 99). When using Digital Boundary Microphones and an Analog Boundary Microphone together, stereo output may be unavailable depending on the connection configuration (Page 25, Page 27).

Home Electronics-style Remote Control Operation and Simple, Easy to Understand Graphical User Interface

You can make settings and perform operations using familiar remote control operations and a simple, easy to understand interface.

Stabilized Communication Quality

In periods of network congestion, automatic packet transmission rate quality control prevents packet loss to maintain a video conference call’s image and sound quality. This allows visual communication with stabilized communication quality even over an Internet connection.

Remote Video Camera Operation via Remote Control

You can move your own video camera up, down, left, and right as well as zoom in and out (Page 57). You can also register up to 9 preset patterns of video camera direction and zoom level which allows you to easily

Introduction

change the video camera’s direction and zoom level by selecting a preset (Page 60, Page 62). Additionally, you can also use your remote control to control the other party’s video camera.

To be able to control another party’s video camera, settings must be configured on the other party’s unit (Page 103).

Selectable Video Source

By connecting your computer or video camera to the unit, you can show your computer’s screen or video camera image to video conference call participants (Page 73, Page 80).

Encrypted Communication

Packets sent for video conference calls can be encrypted to prevent packet leaks, tampering, or eavesdropping.

This service may be unavailable depending on your router’s type or your Internet connection environment. For details, contact your dealer.

Making Video Conference Calls via SIP Server

By using a SIP server, you can establish video conference calls not just by IP address, but also by specifying a SIP URI (SIP user name@SIP domain name) instead. If the other party uses the same SIP domain name as you, you can make a video conference call by specifying only the SIP user name (Page 111). For information about supported SIP servers, contact your dealer.

Enhanced Features through the Use of Activation Keys

By using an activation key (sold separately), you can upgrade the features of the KX-VC300 (Page 87). After you upgrade the features, the KX-VC300 can initiate 3-party/4-party video conference calls and send images in Full HD resolution. Features enabled through activation keys are available even after performing a system initialization (Page 117). For details about the activation key, contact your dealer.

Connection to non-Panasonic Video Conference Systems

You can connect to a non-Panasonic video conference system and have a 2-party video conference call (Page 46).
