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.

About “Memory Stick”

What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a compact, portable and versatile IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage. “Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” turns to the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be used with products compliant with standard “Memory Stick.”

Types of “Memory Stick”

There are five types of “Memory Stick” depending on various uses.

• “Memory Stick PRO” The “Memory Stick PRO” is a “Memory Stick” that allows faster data transfer rates in devices that support it. It also incorporates MagicGate copyright protection technology.

•“Memory Stick-R” Data stored in this type of “Memory Stick” is not overwritten. It can be used only with equipment compatible with “Memory Stick-R”. Data that requires MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be stored on this type.

•“Memory Stick” Any type of data except copyright-protected data that requires MagicGate copyright protection technology can be stored.

• “MagicGate Memory Stick” Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology.

•“Memory Stick-ROM” Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. Recording or erasing data cannot be done with this type.

• “Memory Stick” (with memory select function) Equipped with multiple memories (128 MB). You can select the memory to use with the memory select switch on the back of the “Memory Stick”. You cannot use different memories simultaneously or continuously.

Available types of “Memory Stick” for the unit

You can use “Memory Stick PRO”, “Memory Stick”, and “MagicGate Memory Stick” with the unit. However, because the unit does not support the MagicGate

standards, data recorded with the unit is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.

Notes on “Memory Stick Duo”

• To use “Memory Stick Duo” with this unit, attach it to the Memory Stick Duo adapter before inserting it into the unit.

• Be sure to attach “Memory Stick Duo” to the adapter with the correct orientation.

• Be sure to insert the Memory Stick Duo adapter with the correct orientation. Otherwise, the unit may be damaged.

• Do not insert the Memory Stick Duo adapter without “Memory Stick Duo” attached. Doing so may result in malfunction of the unit.

What is MagicGate?

MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology.

Data Conference Using Data Solution Module

This chapter shows you how to use the optional PCSA-DSM1 Data Solution Module to incorporate the screen display data of a computer or similar into a videoconference. The optional PCSA-DSM1 Data Solution Module is designed for internal installation in the PCS-TL33. It allows sending the pictures or text data displayed on a computer connected to the PCS-TL33 to the remote party in a videoconference. You can also connect a projector to the Data Solution Module and display a high-resolution computer screen image sent by the remote party at the local site.

Even if no Data Solution Module is installed or if another videoconferencing system such as PCS-1/1P, PCS-11/11P, PCS-TL30, PCS-TL50, PCS-G50/G50P, PCS-G70/G70P, or PCS-1600 is used, the receiving party can view the computer images sent from the other party. However, the quality of the picture received will vary depending on the components of the system. If the Data Solution Module or Data Solution Box is installed, a higher frame rate (number of frames per second) is possible, which allows viewing high-resolution moving images from a computer. To display the computer images sent from the other party during PC mode, press the (Videoconference) button on the system and switch to videoconference mode.

Chapter

for communication between the Data Solution Module and the PCS-TL33 should be set up to be a separate segment. As a result, unusable IP address is the value obtained from the AND operation with the address of the Data Solution Module for communication and the network mask. (Unusable IP address for the PCS-TL33) = (IP address of the PCSA-DSM1) & (Network mask) The IP address of the PCSA-DSM1 is fixed at “192.254.1.2”. If the Network mask is assumed to be “255.255.0.0”, an unusable IP address is as follows:

192.254.m.n (0 ≤ m ≤ 255, 0 ≤ n ≤ 255)

Note on the camera picture when using the Data Solution Module

When transmitting a signal via the Data Solution Module, the camera picture quality will be lower owing to the decreased number of frames.
