Product Features

Sharing your ideas easily.
The PCS-1P facilitates sharing of high-resolution data from the PC at the touch of a button irrespective of the number of participants, while retaining full industry-wide interoperability.

An optional Mimio Xi™ electronic whiteboard can be connected directly to the PCS-1P, allowing hand written notes, drawings and diagrams to be displayed in real time.

Bring the world into your conference.
The PCS-1P can bring up to 6 international locations into one meeting instantly, via IP, ISDN or both networks at the same time. By cascading with a second PCS-1P, the number of locations can be expanded to an amazing 10 sites. The high bandwidth of 384 Kbps per site in such a multipoint conference provides excellent audio and video quality.

Industry's first high quality MPEG4 audio and video coding.
With its unique MPEG4 audio and video coding, the PCS-1P takes the next step in delivering unequalled audio and video quality. Superb audio reproduction is assured by AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) at 14 kHz, compliant with the MPEG-4 standard. Doubling the frequency range of conventional audio conferencing systems, the PCS-1P ensures that every participant can be heard with unprecedented clarity. Equally, MPEG4 coding is able to deliver far better video quality than conventional video coding standards, even at low bit rates.

Excellent audio and video quality.
The superb picture encoding capabilities of the PCS-1P comply with ITU-T H.323 standards for network-based videoconferencing at up to 2 Mb/s and 30 frames/s. By connecting the optional PCS-B768 ISDN Unit, it is possible to hold videoconferences compliant with ITU-T H.320 standards at up to 768 kb/s via an ISDN line. Furthermore, the PCS-1P offers outstandingly crisp, clear sound quality to help ensure the success of every videoconference.

Ensuring quality on your network.
Maintaining consistent picture and audio quality levels is a common concern when running videoconferences over the Internet and data networks. The PCS-1P offers advanced functions to enhance Quality Of Service and provide a more satisfying, reliable and productive videoconference: Adaptive Rate Control & ARQ (Auto Repeat reQuest)
