HD Visual Communication System
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) visual
communication 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
PCS-HG90 boasts realistic and lifelike images even on large-screen
displays. In addition to high-quality images, the PCS-HG90
features clear and natural-sounding audio, with its wide
frequency range of up to 22 kHz using MPEG-4 AAC (Advance
Audio Coding). What’s more, when using audio AUX inputs, the
unit supports a wider frequency range of up to 44 kHz, to
provide superb-quality audio from a number of different sound
sources. Also, what makes the PCS-HG90 unique is that it can
accept analog or digital video signals, from SD to HD, as well as
PC signals. And because the PCS-HG90 accepts standard video
signals via its BNC connectors and stereo audio via XLR
connectors, the system is ideal for configuring with professional
Audio/Video equipment. An optional PCSA-CHG90 camera unit
can be used with the system to provide high quality HD video
and a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) capability. Additional features of the
PCS-HG90 include a four site multi-point videoconferencing
capability, site-name display, and ITU-T H.235 encryption.
For customers demanding effective communication with lifelike
audio and video, the PCS-HG90 Visual Communication System
can provide a reality never before achieved and it is the ideal
choice to meet these demands.
