8 Using This Manual
Features
The PCS-1/1P Video Communication
System is a videoconferencing system that
provides natural, face-to-face
communications with a remote party by
transmitting and receiving images and sound
via LAN (Local Area Network) or ISDN
(Integrated Services Digital Network)
connections.
Supports ITU-T international
videoconferencing standard
The Video Communication System
complies with ITU-T Recommendations
defined by WTSC for easy connection with
remote parties overseas.
ITU: International Telecommunication
Union
WTSC: World Telecommunications
Standardization Committee
Supports data conferences
Use of the optional PCS-DSB1 Data
Solution Box allows the data from a personal
computer to be incorporated in the
presentation or to be shown on the projector.
Wide range of video/audio
compression format selectable
The Video Communication System supports
Interlaced SIF, H.264, MPEG4, H.263+,
H.263 and H.261 for video compression
format, and MPEG4 Audio, G.722.1,
G.722, G.729, G.728, G.723.1, G.711 for
audio compression format. You can choose
whether priority is given to video or audio
depending on the type of conference or
video/audio equipment used by a remote
party.
QoS (Quality of Service) function
for optimization of bandwidth and
traffic packet through network
“Packet Resend Request” and “Adaptive
Rate Control” functions incorporated,
allowing solution for busy network traffic or
packet loss, which provides consistent highquality communication.
Easy setup and operation
The Help menu appears on the monitor
screen for guidance of operation. The menus
used for the system administrator or those
for conference participants are separately
displayed.
Chapter 1: Installation and Preparation
Versatile use with a variety of
display units
The Video Communication System is
compact size, allowing easy installation on a
TV. The camera and the Communication
Terminal can be separately installed,
allowing for greater flexibility when using a
large-size plasma display, projector screen,
etc.
High transmission speeds and
high-quality picture capability
The Video Communication System accepts
a LAN bandwidth of up to 1920 Kbps. It also
allows connection to as many as six ISDN
lines; 12B channels usable by using the
optional PCS-B768 ISDN Unit.
Supports multipoint conference
Installing the optional PCS-323M1 H.323
MCU software (for LAN) or the PCS320M1 H.320 MCU software (for ISDN)
allows conduct of a multipoint conference.
The multipoint conference via LAN and
ISDN connections mixed is also available if
both the PCS-323M1 H.323 and PCS320M1 H.320 MCU software are installed in
a main Terminal.
Memory Stick slot equipped
The Communication Terminal is equipped
with a Memory Stick slot, allowing the use
of still images recorded with a digital still
camera and stored in the “Memory Stick”.
Dual monitor system
Two monitors can be connected to the
Communication Terminal, enabling the use
9Features
of one monitor for motion pictures, and the
other monitor for pictures from a computer
or still images.
Supports an encrypted
videoconference (only for LAN
connection)
When you connect to other terminals via
LAN, you can start a videoconference only
with the terminals that enter the preset
password. This feature allows you to hold a
strictly confidential videoconference.
An encrypted conference among multiple
points or with cascade connection is enabled
if all the terminals are connected via LAN.

About the number of ISDN lines and B (bearer) channel
Up to six ISDN lines can be connected to one PCS-1/1P via the optional PCSB768 ISDN Unit. Each ISDN line is composed of two B channels that carry
data signals on the ISDN interface, enabling both channels to be used for one
ISDN line connection (2B connection), or each for a separate ISDN line
connection (1B connection). The more channels you use for a single
communication, the faster speeds and higher-quality picture you can obtain for
your network communication. You can connect up to six ISDN lines with the
PCS-1/1P and select the number of channels used for a single communication
among from 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 8B and 12B connections.

Preparing the System
Inserting Batteries into the Remote Commander
Most of the operations with the Video Communication System can be
controlled with the supplied Remote Commander.
1 Remove the battery compartment cover.
2 Insert two size AA (R6) batteries (supplied) with correct polarities into the
battery compartment.
Chapter 1: Installation and Preparation
Note
Be sure to insert the batteries E side first. Inserting them forcibly e side first may
damage the insulated film covering the batteries and cause a short circuit.
3 Replace the cover.
Battery life
When the Remote Commander does not function properly, replace both the
batteries with new ones.
Notes on batteries
To avoid damage from possible battery leakage or corrosion, observe the
following:
• Make sure to insert the batteries with the polarities in the correct direction.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
• Do not attempt to charge the batteries.
• If you do not intend to use the Remote Commander for a long period of time,
remove the batteries.
• If battery leakage occurs, clean the battery compartment and replace all the
batteries with new ones.

25Turning the System On/Off
Notes
• After the power is turned on, the camera moves automatically for trial operation. Be
careful not to catch your finger.
• If you use force to prevent the camera moving, it may not resume moving and not
output a signal to the Communication Terminal. In this case, turn off the Terminal,
and turn it on again.
• When you turn on the power of the Communication Terminal for the first time after
installation, the setup wizard will appear after the self-diagnosis is completed. Set up
your system following the wizard.
For setups using the wizard, see “Setting Up the System for the First Time
— Initial Setup Wizard” on page 30.
• Used with an optional device especially designed for use with this system, such as the
Data Solution Box or ISDN Unit, for the first time, the Communication Terminal may
automatically upgrade the software of the connected device. While the upgrading
message is displayed on the monitor screen, be sure not to turn off the Communication
Terminal. Doing so may cause malfunction of the system. System malfunction may
also occur when a system power-off has been caused by an accidental problem such
as a power interruption during upgrading. If connection of the Data Solution Box or
ISDN Unit to the Communication Terminal is not re-established even after the system
power is recovered, consult a Sony dealer.
Standby Mode Function
To save power the Communication Terminal will enter standby mode if you
do not operate it for a specified period of time.
When the Communication Terminal is in standby mode, the POWER indicator
lights in orange. Once the Communication Terminal receives a call, the
standby mode is automatically released.
To release the standby mode
Press the
@/1 button on the Remote Commander.
To specify the standby time
Specify the time that you want the system to remain on before entering into
standby mode (1 to 99 minutes) using “Standby Time” in the General Setup
menu. If you do not want the system to enter the standby mode, set “Standby
Mode” in the General Setup menu to “Off”.
For the “Standby Time” and “Standby Mode” settings, see “General Setup
Menu” on page 48.
Notes
• The POWER indicator on the camera goes off when the system enters standby mode.
• If you use a Sony TV monitor with the IR repeater installed under the remote sensor,
the TV monitor will enter standby mode together with the Communication Terminal.
26 Turning the System On/Off
Setting the Video Communication System to Standby Mode
