SONY PCS-G50

The PCS-G50 boasts a maximum video transfer rate of 4 Mb/s over an IP network, and it provides extremely high resolution video. By adopting the H.263 video codec/4CIF format, the PCS-G50 produces image resolution comparable to that of standard TV broadcasts. It can also switch to the H.264 video codec for higher throughput or revert to previous versions of the ITU-T videoconferencing codecs to maintain compatibility with legacy systems.

As with other PCS Series models, the PCS-G50, with its internal MCU (Multi-Control Unit) capability, supports simultaneous multi-point videoconferences with six (6) endpoints, and a maximum of 10 endpoints when two PCS-G50 units are cascaded. The PCS-G50 bridges mixed calls between an ISDN network and an IP network, and speed matches (by connecting at the endpoint respective speeds) without lowering the performance of the entire system.

SONY PCS-G70

The Sony PCS-G70 boasts a maximum video transfer rate of 4 Mb/s over an IP network, and it provides the highest resolution video of all models in the PCS Series. By adopting the H.263 video codec/4CIF format, the PCS-G70 produces image resolution comparable to that of standard TV broadcasts. The Sony PCS-G70 can also be used with the H.264 video codec for higher throughput and with previous versions of the ITU-T videoconferencing codecs to maintain compatibility with legacy systems.

Sony PCS-HG90

As the quality of IP networks advances and videoconferencing technology evolves, we can communicate more effectively and efficiently regardless of location or the distance separating us. But for top-end professional applications demanding the highest image quality such as with live interview broadcasts, product design conferences, and distance learning including medical teaching, standard videoconferencing systems will have limitations.

To meet these demanding professional needs, Sony introduces an exceptional high definition (HD) videoconferencing system, the PCS-HG90. Sony is a leader in the AV industry and has produced a number of high-quality HD systems. And by inheriting this HD technology, the PCS-HG90, is sure to prove itself as a major player in the HD visual communications market. For the first time in this industry, a high definition video format of 1280 x 720 at 60P and a maximum video transfer rate of 8Mb/s over an IP network has been achieved. With its advanced H.264 HD video codec and its high-resolution and high frame rate of 1280 x 720 60P/30P, the Sony PCS-HG90 boasts realistic and lifelike images even on large-screen displays.
