The optional integrated MCU allows multi-point conferences over IP & ISDN between up to six sites, expandable to nine sites over IP via a simple software option installation. What’s more, two PCS-XG100S systems can be cascaded without additional hardware to link 16 sites simultaneously. HD conferences can be recorded to USB memory for easy sharing and review.

Set-up is refreshingly straightforward, with quick booting so you’re ready for business faster. Operation is easy, too: just select a contact using the supplied remote commander to launch your conference at a touch.

Also available as PCS-XG100/PCS-XG100H ‘bundled version’ with SRG-120DH PTZ camera.

Features

Express yourself clearly with Full HD 60p images

Communicate more clearly and effectively with smooth, detail-packed video conferences at up to Full HD (1920 x 1080) 60p resolution for exceptional realism. You’ll even enjoy HD picture quality at low bitrates when network bandwidth is limited.

Smooth 30fps Full HD dual streaming

Send dual HD 1080p video streams simultaneously (camera image and PC presentation) at a smooth 30 frames per second in accordance with H.239 standards. The other conference party can see both Full HD (1920 x 1080) images simultaneously on two connected monitors.

Instantly recall up to 100 camera positions

The PCS-XG100S allows instant recall of up to 100 pre-programmedpositions from a connected PTZ camera (not included), permitting quick transition from one camera set-up to another.

See everything with triple monitor mode

Support for three video monitors allows full-size simultaneous views of ‘Far’ and ‘Near’ video sources (via HDMI) on two separate screens, plus a third screen (via DVI-I) showing smooth, crisply detailed PC presentations.

Three images, one monitor

If you’ve only got one monitor, up to three separate images (Far, Near and PC) can be displayed simultaneously with a choice of screen layout options: Full Screen, PinP, PandP, Side by Side or PandPandP.

High quality stereo audio

Two supplied PCS-A1 mono microphones ensure more natural, lifelike conferences with crisp, clear stereo sound. The built-in echo canceller makes speech even more natural-sounding and easier to follow.

Easy multi-point conferences

The in-built Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) allows simultaneous connection between up to six videoconferencing sites. Adding optional PCSA-MCG109 software expands multi-point capabilities to link nine sites via IP connection. Two PCS-XG100S units can also be cascaded to support a maximum of 16 sites, with no additional hardware needed.

Continuous Presence mode with Voice Activation Switching

See everyone clearly with support for three-, four-, six- or nine-screen continuous-presence modes. Voice Activated Switching automatically displays the active speaker on the largest sub screen alongside other participants, or can display the current speaker in full-screen mode.

Easy usability with Video Annotation

Add an optional tablet/pen interface to sketch notes and highlight your point clearly on shared data presentations.

Stable, consistent conferencing

Enjoy stable transmission of HD video, voice and data with Enhanced Intelligent QoS™ (Quality of Service) Functions that ensure fast, consistent data throughput that adapts transmission to take account of changing network conditions.

USB recording

Record HD video (720p), voice and PC presentations direct to USB memory for easy storing and sharing.

Second camera support

Add up to two optional PTZ cameras (Sony SRG/BRC/EVI series models), giving greater freedom to ensure every meeting participant is adequately covered – for example when seated around a boardroom table.

HDMI input

Easily connect an additional video source – such as a camcorder or document camera – via HDMI.

Highly secure

Keep your business private, just the way it should be. Support for 128-bit AES encryption ensures safe, highly secure voice/video/data conferences with other compliant systems.

Easy operation and quick start-up

Enjoy simple operation with the attractive, intuitive on-screen interface. Quick start-up from initial switch-on has you ready to start conferencing in less than a minute – far faster than many other systems.

One-touch Dialling

Enjoy the speed and convenience of one-touch dialling with the newly designed RFZ Remote Commander unit that does not have to be pointed directly towards the system. Just browse and select from the thumbnail image any of up to 1000 stored contacts: up to four regularly-accessed contacts can be shown on the home screen.

Easily switch between LAN and WAN connections

Dual network interfaces allow easy switching between office-base LAN and WAN connections – saving time if you need to use the system both within an intranet environment and over the public Internet. Multi-point connections can also be made between LAN and WAN environments.
