video

Chapter 1: Installation and Preparation

Transmission and reception of high-definition images enabled

The Communication System supports the H.264 high-definition video compression format, enabling transmission and reception of interlaced video signals with a high resolution of 1920 × 1080 or 1280 × 720 by a maximum of 60 frames per second.

Transmission and reception of wide range of stereo sound capability

The audio compression format of the Communication System supports MPEG4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) stereo sound and 22 kHz monaural sound, allowing high-quality audio transmission and reception. The built-in echo canceller supports up to 16 kHz.

Supports data communication

Installing the optional PCSA-DSG80 HD Data Solution Software into the Communication System enables transmission of output data from a computer.

Annotation capability

The annotation function allows you to write letters or graphics on the screen or point with a pointer during communication using the optional pen tablet.

Bright Face feature incorporated in the HD Camera Unit

The supplied PCSA-CXG80 HD Camera Unit incorporates the Bright Face feature, allowing detection of dark and bright shooting parts of a scene individually to make a dark scene brighter and a bright scene clearer.

Up to 100 preset camera settings

Up to 100 settings for camera angle and zoom can be registered in the preset memory of the System. You can easily switch the shooting area only by recalling the preset position.

17Features

Page 18

RF (Radio Frequency) Remote Commander adopted

The supplied Remote Commander controls the Communication System using the radio frequency of 2.4 GHz. The Remote Commander can be programmed for pairing with the System or the Camera Unit to prevent interference from other Systems and Camera Units.

On-screen keyboard

The on-screen keyboard displayed on the monitor screen allows you to input a number, address, etc. without moving your eyes away from the screen.

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

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

Compact size

The compact size of the Communication System allows versatile installation layout.

Echo cancelling microphone

Up to 40 PCSA-A7 echo cancelling microphones (optional) can be connected to one port without losing sound quality, using a cascade connection.

Video and audio recording

Video and audio can be recorded in a “Memory Stick” and can be watched on a computer after.

Streaming

You can broadcast streaming video and audio. This allows people who cannot attend the communication to watch the proceedings over the Web using a computer. You can also select whether to broadcast both video and audio or audio only.

Supports a connection using SIP

The Communication System allows connection to a remote party with an IP phone, etc. using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).

Supports encrypted connection

The system allows you to make a strictly confidential connection using standard encryption, which complies with the H.233, H.234 and H.235 standerdized by the ITU-T.

Supports multipoint connection

Installing the optional PCSA-MCG80 HD MCU software in your Visual Communication System allows connection among multiple points via a LAN or/and ISDN line.

Equipped with an HDMI connector

The HDMI connector allows you to connect an HDMI display unit to the Communication System easily.

Preparing the System

Inserting Batteries into the Remote Commander

Most of the operations with the HD Visual 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.

3 Replace the cover.

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.

Battery life

When the batteries are exhausted, the LED indicator does not light if you press any button and the Remote Commander does not function properly. Replace both 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.

36 Preparing the System

Page 37

• If battery leakage occurs, clean the battery compartment and replace all the batteries with new ones.

Programming the Remote Commander to Operate the Camera Unit

The supplied Remote Commander controls the HD Visual Communication System using the radio frequency of 2.4 GHz. The Remote Commander and the Communication System are paired to prevent interference from other Remote Commanders and Systems. Pairing between the Remote Commander and the Communication System is programmed at the factory. If the Communication System is installed in shielded locations, such as under a desk or in a rack, it may not be controlled by the Remote Commander, depending on the conditions of radio-wave reception. In this case, pair the PCSA-CXG80 HD Camera Unit with the Remote Commander.

Note

When performing pairing procedure, be sure to turn off other HD Visual Communication Systems or HD Camera Units located nearby that are not targets for pairing. If multiple devices are turned on, the Remote Commander might pair device other than the target one.

• 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 from moving, the camera may stop moving and the picture may not be displayed. In this case, turn off the System, and turn it on again.

• When you turn on the power of the Communication System 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 Immediately after the Installation — Initial Setup Wizard” on page 44.

• Used with an optional device especially designed for use with this system, such as the Camera Unit and ISDN Unit, for the first time, the Communication System may automatically upgrade the software of the connected device. Upgrade the software according to the message displayed on the monitor screen. Be sure not to turn off the Communication System or disconnect the cable during upgrading. Otherwise, it may cause a 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 Camera Unit, ISDN Unit, etc. to the Communication System is not re-established even after the system power is recovered, consult a Sony dealer.

• You can check the versions of the Communication System, optional dedicated equipment connected and the application software installed using the Machine Status menu.

For details on the Machine Status menu, see page 89.
