SAMPLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
■
Built-in Streaming over IP networks
Another great feature of the PCS-G70P is the built-in streaming
application. Ideal in situations like large corporate press events,
where large numbers of employees can witness the presentation
of a new branding. Or perhaps for education purposes, where
streaming allows groups of students to see and hear the lecture
taking place via videoconference.
The streaming application uses MPEG4 coding for audio and video
and is available in point-to-point, IP, ISDN and mixed multipoint
connections. Play-out of the audio and video on a PC is handled
using QuickTime.
Streaming connects 2 worlds: the actual videoconference, where all
participants have 2-way real-time communication and desktop or
laptop users, who see and hear the videoconference.
■
Advanced Encryption for More Secure
Videoconferencing
The PCS-G70P supports the advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
to safeguard video, audio and data against unauthorized
interception, ensuring that confidential information remains
confidential throughout the conference. This security feature makes
the PCS-G70P an ideal solution for sensitive meetings and
commercial negotiations where it’s vital to ensure that the integrity of
all communications is not compromised.
■
Memory Stick™ Support*
‘Private’ phone books can be stored on handy, removable Memory
Stick media. Simply insert a Memory Stick into the PCS-G70P and
it will automatically activate the private phone book, making the
user’s personal contacts available and eliminating the need to
manually re-enter contact information to place a call. Memory Stick
media can also be used to store captured images, PC-generated
data, digital whiteboard drawings and other data created during a
conference. Software updates can also be performed simply using
Memory Stick. Pictures from a Sony Cyber-shot camera can be
shown in a slideshow during any videoconference simply by
inserting the Memory Stick into the PCS-G70P and opening the
Memory Stick directory.
* In addition to Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO™ and
Memory Stick DUO™ with an adaptor can be used.
■
AV recording on Memory Stick
The Memory Stick recording function allows you to record your
videoconference simply onto a Memory Stick (normal and Memory
Stick Pro). This feature is a real industry-first and will add great value
to users of the PCS-G70P. Colleagues who could not participate in
the videoconference can now play-back what was discussed and
grasp the essence of the meeting, There’s no need to write
time-consuming minutes of the meeting, as it is now possible to
play-back the last meeting on your PC before you have the next
meeting to refresh topics. The Memory Stick recording feature uses
MPEG-4 coding for audio and video to deliver high quality playback
on a laptop or desktop computer using QuickTime.
The recording time obviously depends on the quality that is set from
the PCS-G70P system (64 Kbps-512 Kbps). As an example, a
1-minute recording on 64 Kbps video quality resulted in a 1.6 MB file
size. With this ratio, a 1-hour videoconference will therefore easily fit
on a 128 MB Memory Stick.
