HARDWARE DESCRIPTION 

 

General 

This  compact  standalone  system  requires  no  additional  equipment  for  basic 
conferencing.  Where  data  sharing  is  required  a  PC  or  laptop  computer  may  be 
connected and there are provisions for an external microphone and headphones. The 
CODEC  will  establish  connections  up  to  a  maximum  bandwidth  of  2  Mbit/s  and 
delivers a peak image resolution of 720p at 30 frames per second. The system has a 
single  auto  switching  10/100/1000  Ethernet  connection  with  a  loop  through 
connector to attach a local computer. 
 
The  24  inch  Samsung  monitor  has  a  native  resolution  of  1080p  and  delivered 
excellent  picture  quality  when  displaying  images  and  for  PC  data  when  not 
conferencing. 
 
The SCOPIA® VC240 system supports several video resolutions including: 
 

 

1280 x 720 @30fps: HD720p 

 

848 x 480   @30fps: 480P 

 

704 x 576   @30fps: 4CIF 

 

512 x 288   @30fps: WCIF 

 

352 x 288   @30fps: CIF 

 
The  image  resolution  and  frame  rate  are  dependent  on  the  call  connection 
bandwidth  and  the  Video  mode  (Motion  or  Sharpness)  setting,  the  default  setting 
being Sharpness:

Both Picture in Picture (PIP) and Picture outside Picture (POP) display formats are 
supported. This allows both near and far end images to be displayed simultaneously 
on  a  single  picture  monitor.  The  size,  position  and  transparency  of  the  PIP  image 
are user configurable within the setup menu.
