The Communication System supports the H.264 high-definition video compression format, enabling transmission and reception of interlaced video signals with a high resolution of 1920 × 1080 or 1280 × 720 by a maximum of 60 frames per second.

Transmission and reception of wide range of stereo sound capability

The audio compression format of the Communication System supports MPEG4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) stereo sound and 22 kHz monaural sound, allowing high-quality audio transmission and reception. The built-in echo canceller supports up to 16 kHz.

Supports data communication

Installing the optional PCSA-DSG80 HD Data Solution Software into the Communication System enables transmission of output data from a computer.

Annotation capability

The annotation function allows you to write letters or graphics on the screen or point with a pointer during communication using the optional pen tablet.

BrightFace feature incorporated in the HD Camera Unit

The supplied PCSA-CXG80 HD Camera Unit incorporates the BrightFace feature, allowing detection of dark and bright shooting parts of a scene individually to make a dark scene brighter and a bright scene clearer.

Up to 100 preset camera settings

Up to 100 settings for camera angle and zoom can be registered in the preset memory of the System. You can easily switch the shooting area only by recalling the preset position.

17Features

RF (Radio Frequency) Remote Commander adopted

The supplied Remote Commander controls the Communication System using the radio frequency of 2.4 GHz. The Remote Commander can be programmed for pairing with the System or the Camera Unit to prevent interference from other Systems and Camera Units.

On-screen keyboard

Echo cancelling microphone

Up to 40 PCSA-A7 echo cancelling microphones (optional) can be connected to one port without losing sound quality, using a cascade connection.

Video and audio recording

Video and audio can be recorded in a “Memory Stick” and can be watched on a computer after.

Streaming

You can broadcast streaming video and audio. This allows people who cannot attend the communication to watch the proceedings over the Web using a computer. You can also select whether to broadcast both video and audio or audio only.

Supports a connection using SIP

The Communication System allows connection to a remote party with an IP phone, etc. using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).

Supports encrypted connection

The system allows you to make a strictly confidential connection using standard encryption, which complies with the H.233, H.234 and H.235 standerdized by the ITU-T.

Supports multipoint connection

Installing the optional PCSA-MCG80 HD MCU software in your Visual Communication System allows connection among multiple points via a LAN or/and ISDN line.

Equipped with an HDMI connector

The HDMI connector allows you to connect an HDMI display unit to the Communication System easily.
