8 Using This Manual

Features

G.728, G723.1, and G.711 audio compression formats.

The PCS-G70/G70P 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 PCSA-DSB1S Data Solution Box allows the data from a personal computer to be incorporated in the presentation or to be shown on the projector.

High transmission speeds and high-quality picture capability

The Video Communication System accepts a LAN bandwidth of up to 4 Mbps. It also allows you to connect to as many as three ISDN lines and use 6B channels with the optional PCSA-B384S ISDN Unit, and as many as six ISDN lines and use 12B channels with the optional PCSA-B768S ISDN Unit. (When you use PRI, you can connect to one line and use 23B channels (T1) or 30B channels (E1).)

Wide range of video/audio compression format selectable

The Video Communication System supports H.264, H.263 4CIF, H.263, H.261, MPEG4, interlaced SIF (H.264/H.263) video compression formats. It also supports MPEG4 AAC, G.722.1, G.722, G.729,

QoS (Quality of Service) function for optimization of bandwidth and traffic packet through network

This system includes the “Packet Resend Request”, “Adaptive Rate Control”, and “Forward Error Control” functions. Depending on the network status, these functions are used in Hybrid to guarantee consistent, high-quality communications.

Supports the transmission of two different video signals (dual video function)

Using two cameras, you can display the speaker and the entire conference room simultaneously, strengthening the sense of reality of the videoconference.

Easy setup and operation

Help is displayed on the monitor when you need guidance. The menus used by the system administrator or those by conference participants are displayed separately.

Supports multipoint conference

Installing the optional PCSA-M3G70 H.323 MCU software (for LAN) or the PCSA-M0G70 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 PCSA-M3G70 H.323 and PCSA-M0G70 H.320 MCU software are installed in a main terminal.

Equipped with a Memory Stick slot

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”.

9Features

Triple monitor system

You can connect three monitors to the Communication Terminal, which allows you, for example, to display video from the remote party, video from your terminal, and video from a computer or whiteboard simultaneously.

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.

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 AAA (R03) batteries (supplied) with correct polarities into

the battery compartment.

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.

25Preparing the System

Turning On/Off the TV Monitor Together With the Communication Terminal

If you use a Sony TV, insert the IR repeater under the remote sensor of the TV. Once you set the IR repeater, the TV will turn on or go to standby together with the Communication Terminal when you press the Remote Commander.

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 33.

• 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.

28 Turning the System On/Off

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

To specify the standby time
