Image of the following product: PCS-XG77

Overview

This powerful yet easy-to-use HD videoconferencing system offers superb picture and sound quality, plus versatile collaboration tools and flexible configuration.

Smoothly detailed HD (720p) images at up to 60 fps make the PCS-XG77 ideal for a wide range of virtual meeting and distance learning applications.

Crystal-clear pictures from the PTZ camera (not included with PCS-XG77S) are complemented by clear, natural sounding audio. ‘Dual stream’ video and PC presentations can be shared seamlessly with remote locations at 30 fps.

See camera images plus PC presentations on one or two connected video monitors with a generous choice of screen layout options.

The optional integrated MCU allows multi-point conferences over IP & ISDN between up to six sites via a simple software option installation. What’s more, two PCS-XG77 systems can be cascaded without additional hardware to link 10 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 even 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-XG77S ‘codec only’ version (without PTZ camera).

This product contains pre-installed software and requires the purchase of licence keys to activate some functions.

Features

Express yourself with clear HD images

Communicate more clearly and effectively with smooth, detail-packed video conferences at HD (720p) resolution. You’ll even enjoy superior picture quality at low bitrates when network bandwidth is limited. Video quality can be upgraded to Full HD 1080p by adding the optional PCSA-RXG77

Smooth 30fps dual streaming

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

Instantly recall up to 100 camera positions

The PCS-XG77 allows instant recall of up to 100 pre-programmedpositions from a connected PTZ camera, permitting quick transition from one camera set-up to another.

See everything with dual monitor mode

Support for up to two video monitors (HDMI and DVI-I) allows full-size simultaneous views of video and shared PC presentations.

Versatile display options

See video and shared PC views with choice of screen layout options: Full Screen, PinP, PandP, Side by Side or PandP.

High quality audio

The supplied PCS-A1 microphone enables more natural, lifelike conferences with crisp, clear sound. The codec supports up to 6 microphones. The built-in stereo 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-MCG106 software expands multi-point capabilities to link six sites via IP connection. Two PCS-XG77 units can also be cascaded to support a maximum of 10 sites, with no additional hardware needed.

Continuous Presence mode with Voice Activation Switching

See everyone clearly with support for three-, four- or six-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

Adding an optional second PTZ camera (Sony BRC/EVI series models) gives greater freedom to ensure every meeting participant is adequately covered – for example when seated around a boardroom table.

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.
