Imagine a world in which you can sit at your desk working at your PC when suddenly, instead of the phone ringing, a window pops up on your PC display and instantly you are on a video conference call. With the new Sony PCS-TL50P Video conferencing System this vision now becomes reality.
Supported ITU-T Standard (except Video and Audio)
Bringing a new level of versatility and convenience to video conferencing, the PCS-TL50P is Sony's first desktop video conferencing solution for executive personal communication and/or small meeting areas.
Providing an all-in-one conferencing package, the PCS-TL50 features a unique digital pan-tilt-zoom camera embedded in an attractive 20-inch wide LCD display that doubles as a PC monitor.
"As video conferencing is becoming more popular among businesses in SA, a convenient desktop solution is a logical step for us to make it easy for individuals or small groups to conduct a conference anytime and almost anywhere," says Will Klopper, product manager at Sony Business SA.
In addition to the embedded camera, the system includes an embedded codec, microphone and speakers to minimise desktop clutter and simplify set-up. A new user-friendly graphic interface assists in call execution, while a convenient remote control directs the camera.
The PCS-TL50 comes with both IP and ISDN connection capabilities. It supports ITU-T standard H.264 to achieve television-like quality video on limited bandwidth, as well as high-quality audio through MPEG4 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). The Data Solutions Box (PCS-DSB1) used with Sony group conferencing systems can also be used as a plug-in solution to share any kind of PC files over the call in parallel to live audio and video that enables users to see presenter and presentation simultaneously.
An optional tabletop microphone is also available to better accommodate multiple speakers, and optional multipoint capabilities that can accommodate up to six sites are also available for both IP and ISDN calls.
Like Sony's group conferencing systems, the PCS-TL50 offers such standard features as quality of service (QoS) technology including Adaptive Rate Control (ARC) and real-time Auto Repeat ReQuest (ARQ). This QoS technology ensures the user makes the best usage of their IP network even under dynamically changing network conditions and that possible packet-loss is recovered respectively. The result is fewer interruptions and better performance while conferencing on the public Internet or on LAN/WAN networks.
"As with Sony's PCS-11P and PCS-1P video conferencing systems, the PCS-TL50 comes with the advanced encryption, making sure that confidential information remains confidential throughout your video conference," concludes Klopper.
