As the quality of IP networks advances and visual communication technology
evolves, we can communicate more effectively and efficiently regardless of location
or the distance separating us. But for top-end professional applications that
demand the highest sound and image quality as well as true to life color capture –
such as live interview broadcasts, product design conferences, and distance
learning including medical teaching – standard videoconferencing systems will have
limitations. These dynamic applications require higher, more robust level of audio
and video quality to satisfy the critical demands of a broad range of professional end
users. The IPELA High Definition Visual Communications platform provides dynamic
solutions that standard definition videoconferencing simply cannot.
To meet these professional needs, Sony introduces an exceptional high-definition
(HD) visual communication system, the PCS-HG90. Sony is a leader in the
audio/visual (AV) industry and has produced a number of high-quality HD systems.
By inheriting this proven HD technology, the PCS-HG90 is sure to become 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/50P and a maximum video
transfer rate of 8 Mb/s over an IP network has been achieved. Using the H.264 video
codec along with a high-definition format with a high frame rate, 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 AUX audio 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 video signals via its BNC connectors and stereo audio via its
XLR connectors, the system is ideal for configuring with professional AV equipment.
An optional PCSA-CHG90 camera unit can be used with the system to provide
high-quality HD video and a Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) capability. Additional features
of the PCS-HG90 include a four-site multi-point visual communication capability,
Memory Stick
TM
media support, and ITU-T H.235 encryption.
For customers demanding effective communication with lifelike audio and video,
the PCS-HG90 provides a reality that has never before been achieved by a visual
communication system.
