Sharing your ideas easily.
The PCS-1P facilitates sharing of high-resolution data from the
PC at the touch of a button irrespective of the number of participants,
while retaining full industry-wide interoperability.
An optional Mimio Xi™ electronic whiteboard can be connected
directly to the PCS-1P, allowing hand written notes, drawings and diagrams
to be displayed in real time.
Bring the world into your conference.
The PCS-1P can bring up to 6 international locations into one meeting
instantly, via IP, ISDN or both networks at the same time. By cascading
with a second PCS-1P, the number of locations can be expanded to an
amazing 10 sites. The high bandwidth of 384 Kbps per site in such a
multipoint conference provides excellent audio and video quality.
Industry's first high quality MPEG4 audio and video coding.
With its unique MPEG4 audio and video coding, the PCS-1P takes the next
step in delivering unequalled audio and video quality. Superb audio
reproduction is assured by AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) at 14 kHz,
compliant with the MPEG-4 standard. Doubling the frequency range of
conventional audio conferencing systems, the PCS-1P ensures that every
participant can be heard with unprecedented clarity. Equally, MPEG4 coding
is able to deliver far better video quality than conventional video coding
standards, even at low bit rates.
Excellent audio and video quality.
The superb picture encoding capabilities of the PCS-1P comply with ITU-T
H.323 standards for network-based videoconferencing at up to 2 Mb/s and 30
frames/s. By connecting the optional
PCS-B768 ISDN Unit, it is possible to hold videoconferences
compliant with ITU-T H.320 standards at up to 768 kb/s via an ISDN line.
Furthermore, the PCS-1P offers outstandingly crisp, clear sound quality to
help ensure the success of every videoconference.
Ensuring quality on your network.
Maintaining consistent picture and audio quality levels is a common
concern when running videoconferences over the Internet and data networks.
The PCS-1P offers advanced functions to enhance Quality Of Service and
provide a more satisfying, reliable and productive videoconference:
Adaptive Rate Control & ARQ (Auto Repeat reQuest)
Keeping confidential information confidential.
The PCS-1P supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to make sure
that confidential information stays secure within your conferences.
