Glossary

Use USB storage devices that support USB2.0 with this unit. We recommend using the Sony USM32GR “POCKET BIT.”

Connection

Connect the device directly to the USB port on the unit.

Access indicator

Off: Standby Lit: Data transfer in progress

Removal

Always make sure that the POCKET BIT is in standby mode (i.e., the indicator is off) before removing it.

Usage precautions

• Do not apply excessive force on the POCKET BIT while it is connected to a device. Damage to the USB connector may result in malfunction of the POCKET BIT as well as the connected device.

• Be aware that the surface of this product may become hot after extended periods of access or use.

• If the connected device is started or restarted while the POCKET BIT is connected, the POCKET BIT may not function properly. Remove the POCKET BIT before performing such operations.

• We recommend creating backups of important data.

SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR LOSS OF RECORDED DATA ON ACCOUNT OF FAILURE OF THIS UNIT OR ITS SOFTWARE.

POCKET BIT is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

ARC

An abbreviation for adaptive rate control, a technology that automatically lowers the video bit rate during network congestion.

ARQ

An abbreviation for automatic repeat request, an error control method in which the receiver requests retransmission from the transmitter when a packet loss occurs.

Auto Bandwidth Detection

A function that detects the network bandwidth before communication. Using this detected value with the QoS functions allows optimum QoS control from the beginning of the communication.

Codec

An abbreviation for coder-decoder, an integrated device or program that includes a coder that converts an analog audio/video signal to a digital data stream and compresses it, and a decoder that decompresses the digital signal to its original analog state.

DHCP

An abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for managing IP addresses on networks.

DNS

An abbreviation for Domain Name System, a naming system utilizing domain names.

FEC

An abbreviation for forward error correction, an error control method in which the receiver can correct errors without requesting retransmission from the transmitter.

Frame rate

The number of frames that can be encoded/decoded in one second.

G.711

An ITU-T audio codec recommendation. This codec converts a telephone audio bandwidth signal to a digital signal with a data rate of 64 Kbps. The signal is also transferred at 56 Kbps in some cases.

G.722

An ITU-T audio codec recommendation. This codec converts audio with a bandwidth of 7 kHz to a digital signal with a data rate of 48 Kbps, 56 Kbps, or 64 Kbps.

G.728

An ITU-T audio codec recommendation. This codec converts a telephone audio bandwidth signal to a digital signal with a data rate of 16 Kbps.

QoS

An abbreviation for quality of service which reserves a bandwidth for specific communications on a network to guarantee a steady communication speed.

Gatekeeper

A device that controls access to H.323 visual communication on networks. This allows zone administration, access and bandwidth restriction, and the use of aliases and other functions.

H.239

An ITU-T recommendation that supports the dual video function (presentation mode). This allows simultaneous reception and transmission of camera images and computer data.

H.263

A video coding algorithm based on the H.261 standard that allows communication via a lower bit rate.

H.263+

A video codec based on the H.263 standard that adds Annex I to T (I, J, K...T) with the purpose of enhancing picture quality and error tolerance. Normally, this format is a profile used in combination with some of the Annexes for H.263/H.263+.

H.264

A video coding algorithm standardized by the ITU-T in May 2003. This format achieves high picture quality via lower bit rates, providing a picture quality equal to that of the H.263 standard while using about half the bit rate. It has also been standardized by the ISO as MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding (AVC).

SNMP

An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, a protocol for sharing information between the management station and managed terminals. This protocol allows monitoring of Sony communication systems.

ToS

An abbreviation for type of service, a field in an IP header. Inclusion of the ToS information allows a communication device to determine the appropriate packet transmission priority, etc. It also allows for the changing of paths based on the type of service (delay, size, etc.).

H.323

A standard that allows communication via a LAN on which QoS is not guaranteed.

An abbreviation for high definition that denotes high resolution and high picture quality for televisions and other displays. The 1080i, 1080p, and 720p formats correspond to this standard.

Hop count

The number of routers that are passed through to reach the remote party.

ITU-T

An abbreviation for the International Telecommunication Union’s Telecommunication Standardization Sector.

MCU

An abbreviation for multipoint control unit, a device through which multipoint communication between connected multipoint terminals is made possible.
