Precautions

The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:

• when operating at a high environmental temperature

• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)

Operating or storage location

Avoid operating or storing the system in the following locations:

• Extremely hot or cold places

• Humid or dusty places

• Places exposed to strong vibration

• Close to sources of strong magnetism

• Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters

• Noisy places

LCD screen

Notes on use

• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing so may damage the screen surface.

• Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on top of the system. The image may become uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.

• If the system is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena improve as the temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when the system is in use. This is not a malfunction.

Display pixels

Although the LCD display panel is made with highprecision technology and has an effective picture element ratio of over 99.99%, black dots (dead pixels) may appear on the screen or pixels may become permanently lit (red, blue, green, etc.) or unlit. The appearance of dead pixels after extended periods of use is common among LCD display panels. Be aware that such appearances do not represent a malfunction.

Aliasing

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage a CMOS sensor. You are cautioned that the surface of a CMOS sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.

Built-in speakers

The speakers generate magnetism. To avoid damaging the data, keep magnetic tapes and disks away from the speakers.

Cleaning

• Before cleaning, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

• The LCD screen surface is finished with a special coating. To remove dust from the screen surface, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.

• When you use chemical cleaning cloth, observe the instructions that come with it.

• Do not apply volatile solvents such as an insecticide to the screen, or allow rubber or plastic objects to touch to the screen for a long time, as they may damage the surface finishes.

Phenomena specific to CMOS sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CMOS sensors are produced with highprecision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is related to the principle of CMOS sensors and is not a malfunction.

Encrypted Videoconference via LAN

Using This Manual

Features

The PCS-TL33 Video Communication System is a

Chapter 1 Installation and Preparation

videoconferencing system that allows natural, face-to-face communications with a remote party by transmitting and receiving images and sound via a LAN (Local Area Network).

Integrated portable Video Communication System

All necessary elements of the system such as 17-type wide-format display, camera equipped with digital pan/tilt and zoom, codec, microphones and speakers are integrated in a single compact cabinet for easy portability. The integrated design plus VESA mount capability makes it possible to set up a videoconference almost anywhere.

Up to 30 One Touch Dial entries

Remote parties to which you frequently connect can be registered in the launcher menu. You can then establish a connection simply by clicking a Dial button.

Supports worldwide standards

Full compliance with the ITU-T Recommendations defined by the WTSC (World Telecommunications Standardization Committee) assures easy connection with remote parties in any country.

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 display for guidance of operation. The menus used for the system administrator or those for conference participants are separately displayed.

Memory Stick slot equipped

The Video Communication System 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”. You can create your own phone book and One Touch Dial icons in a “Memory Stick” as your private phone book. The PCS-TL33 features “Memory Stick PRO”.

Supports an encrypted videoconference

You can configure the Video Communication System so that you can start a videoconference only with the terminals that enter the preset password. This feature allows you to hold a strictly confidential videoconference. Encrypted conferences among multiple points or with cascade connection are also available.

Supports data conferences

Use of the optional PCSA-DSM1 Data Solution Module allows the data from a computer to be incorporated in the presentation or to be shown using a projector.

High transmission speeds and highquality picture

The Video Communication System can handle LAN bandwidths of up to 2048 kbps.

Support for a wide range of video/audio compression formats

The Video Communication System supports H.264, MPEG4, H.263+, H.263, and H.261 for video compression, and MPEG4 Audio, G.722, G.729, G.728, and G.711 for audio compression.

Supports a conference using SIP

Installing the optional PCSA-SP1 SIP software allows conduct of a conference with an IP phone, etc. using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).

Use as computer display

The display of the Video Communication System can also be used as a computer display. If you receive a call from a remote party, the picture of the remote party can be automatically displayed even while you are using the system as a computer display.

Features

Automatic and manual image capturing

During point-to-point communication, several still images of the remote party are automatically captured and saved in the memory of the Video Communication System. You can use these images for your Phone Book. If a “Memory Stick” is inserted, you can manually capture a still image of the remote party during communication by pressing the IMAGE CAPTURE button. The manually captured image can also be used for the Phone Book.

System Components

The PCS-TL33 Video Communication System is composed of basic system components for a basic videoconference, and optional equipment for an enhanced videoconference.

Adjusting the Height of the Display

Chapter 1 Installation and Preparation

The stand and the display section of the PCS-TL33 are joined by fastening screws. There are three sets of screw holes, spaced 25 mm apart. In the factory default condition, the display is fixed in the lowest position. By choosing a different set of screw holes, you can change the height of the display.

Remove the rear cover of the unit.

For information on how to do this, see page 15.

Remove the 4 screws using a coin or similar object, lift up the stand, and insert the positioning pin in the hole for the new stand position.

Note

Before changing the height of the display as described above, be sure to turn the power off. Place the display face down on a soft cloth or similar.

Tighten the 4 screws using a coin or a similar object to secure the stand.
