Sony has combined advanced audio and video technologies with useful features to provide a visual communication tool for all businesses. With the PCS-G50, long distance meetings can be held as if all parties were in the same room, saving the time and trouble of traveling to distant locations for a simple meeting. Providing you with a new and powerful means of communication, the PCS-G50 will be a mainstay for your business. Add a LCD projector, High Definition Plasma or LCD display and get lifesize high definition video communication images in your conference environment.
As with other PCS Series models, the PCS-G50, with its internal MCU (Multi-Control Unit) capability, supports simultaneous multi-point videoconferences with six endpoints, and a maximum of 10 endpoints when two PCS-G50 units are cascaded.
Features & Benefits
The PCS-G50 system is built on the same platform as Sony 's successful PCS-1 and PCS-G70 videoconferencing series, but adds the scalability necessary for installation in a range of environments.
The system can be customized with capture, output and display options, and is capable of delivering broadcast-quality video over IP networks utilizing the H.263 standard video codec/4CIF format at a maximum video transfer rate of 4 Mbps. For higher throughput, the PCS-G50 also supports the H.264 standard as well as previous ITU-T standard videoconferencing codecs for enhanced compatibility with legacy systems.
Internal Multi-Control Unit (MCU) enables broad interoperability by bridging mixed calls between ISDN and IP networks, allowing users to match individual speeds rather than drop the performance of the entire system to the lowest rate. The system supports multi-point conferencing with six endpoints or up to 10 endpoints by cascading two PCS-G50s. A "site name" display makes identification of multiple participants easier.
The Remote Commander wireless remote control further facilitates system operation, and can immediately connect to any one of three contacts pre-programmed into the launch menu with up to 500 additional contacts stored in the address book.
The Remote Commander unit also features a call log that can store the last 32 inbound and outbound calls. Audio and video can be saved to Memory Stick media.
The system incorporates data sharing, QoS support functions to maximize bandwidth efficiency, encryption and digital whiteboard support.
