Introduction

Feature Highlights

Simple Installation

If you have a network connection and an HDMI-compatible display, you can simply connect these, along with
the Boundary Microphone (proprietary cable included) and video camera, to the unit using 2 HDMI cables and
1 LAN cable.

Lifelike Visual Communication

You can experience lifelike visual communication

*1

 with smooth, high-quality video and clear stereo

*2

 sound.

*1

If you are using the KX-VC300, sending images in Full HD can only be done by purchasing an activation key card (KX-VCS401) to
activate this feature.

*2

If using 2 or more Digital Boundary Microphones, stereo output can be enabled through system settings. For details, refer to the User
Manual. When using Digital Boundary Microphones and an Analogue Boundary Microphone together, stereo output may be
unavailable depending on the connection configuration (Page 21, Page 23).

Home Electronics-style Remote Control Operation and Simple, Easy to

Understand Graphical User Interface

You can make settings and perform operations using familiar remote control operations and a simple, easy to
understand interface.

Stabilised Communication Quality

In periods of network congestion, automatic packet transmission rate quality control prevents packet loss to
maintain a video conference call’s image and sound quality. This allows visual communication with stabilised
communication quality even over an intranet connection.

Remote Video Camera Operation via Remote Control

You can move your own video camera up, down, left, and right as well as zoom in and out. You can also register
up to 9 preset

 

patterns of video camera direction and zoom level which allows you to easily change the video

camera’s direction and zoom level by selecting a preset. Additionally, you can also use your remote control to
control the other party’s video camera.

*1

 For details, refer to the User Manual.

*1

To be able to control another party’s video camera, settings must be configured on the other party’s unit. For details, refer to the User
Manual.

Selectable Video Source

By connecting your computer or video camera to the unit, you can show your computer’s screen or video
camera image to video conference call participants.

Making Video Conference Calls via SIP Server

By using a SIP server, you can establish video conference calls not just by IP address, but also by specifying
a SIP URI (SIP user name@SIP domain name) instead. If the other party uses the same SIP domain name
