Lifelike Video Conference Call
You can experience lifelike video conference calls with smooth, high-quality video and clear stereo*1 sound.
*1 If using 2 or more Digital Boundary Microphones, stereo output can be enabled through system settings (Page 105). When using
Digital Boundary Microphones and an Analogue Boundary Microphone together, stereo output may be unavailable depending on the
connection configuration (Page 27, Page 29).
Home Electronics-style Remote Control Operation and Simple, Easy to
Understand Graphical User Interface
You can make settings and perform operations using familiar remote control operations and a simple, easy to
understand interface.
Stabilised Communication Quality
In periods of network congestion, automatic packet transmission rate quality control prevents packet loss to
maintain a video conference call’s image and sound quality. This allows video conference calls with stabilised
communication quality even over an Internet connection or mobile communication.

Introduction

Dual stream (2 screens) compatible
You can send the image of your video camera and the image of your computer’s screen or a sub video camera
at the same time to the other party.
You can view the other party and check shared data at the same time to hold more realistic and interactive
meetings.
Dual network compatibility (KX-VC1600 only)
You can connect to different networks at the same time, such as your company’s internal network and the
Internet. This allows seamless connectivity with units both inside and outside of your company.
Multi-party connections
The KX-VC1300 has a built-in MCU and can establish multiple connections with a maximum of 4 parties. The
KX-VC1600 can establish multiple connections with a maximum of 6 parties standard, and is expandable to a
maximum of 10 parties. All devices have MCU functions built-in, allowing for flexible connectivity.
Note
•In this manual, 1 unit with a built-in MCU which connects to multiple sites simultaneously is referred
as to the "Main Site", and the sites connecting to the Main Site are referred to as "Sub Sites". A site
that establishes connections to multiple sites using a Profile Call (Page 49), or a site that adds a site
to the call during a 2-party video conference call with another site (Page 60) becomes the "Main
Site".
Selectable Video Source
By connecting your computer or video camera to the unit, you can show your computer’s screen or video
camera image to video conference call participants (Page 72).
Encrypted Communication
Packets sent for video conference calls can be encrypted to prevent packet leaks, tampering, or
eavesdropping.
KX-VC Series NAT Traversal Service
"KX-VC Series NAT Traversal Service" is a service that allows you to easily and affordably set up and operate
a communication environment for the HD Visual Communication Unit.*1*2 Also, complicated router configuration
is unnecessary, which allows even people who are not network administrators set up a communication
environment. Furthermore, you can assign the unit a unique number (Terminal ID), which allows the unit to be
called not by IP address, but with the unique 7-digit number. This means communication can be initiated as if
calling a telephone. Communication can also be encrypted, so that you can communicate over the Internet
safely and securely.
For details about KX-VC Series NAT Traversal Service, refer to the following web site:
http://panasonic.net/psn/products/hdvc/nat_traversal/index.html
*1 This service may be unavailable depending on the country/area of use. For details, contact your dealer.
*2 This service may be unavailable depending on your router’s type or your Internet connection environment. For details, contact your
dealer.

Introduction

Making Video Conference Calls via SIP Server
By using a SIP server, you can establish video conference calls not just by IP address, but also by specifying
a SIP URI (SIP user name@SIP domain name) instead. If the other party uses the same SIP domain name
as you, you can make a video conference call by specifying only the SIP user name. For information about
supported SIP servers, contact your dealer.
Calling via an H.323 Gatekeeper
Going through an H.323 Gatekeeper allows communication of not just the IP address, by the H.323 extension
and the H.323 name as well. Contact your dealer regarding the gatekeepers that can be used.
Enhanced Features through the Use of Activation Keys
By using an activation key (sold separately), you can upgrade the features of the unit (Page 17). This allows
enrollment in the KX-VC Series NAT Traversal Service, and if using the KX-VC1600, multiple connections with
up to 10 parties simultaneously.
Remote Video Camera Operation via Remote Control
You can move your own video camera up, down, left, and right as well as zoom in and out (Page 75). You
can also register up to 9 preset patterns of video camera direction and zoom level which allows you to easily
change the video camera’s direction and zoom level by selecting a preset (Page 78, Page 80). Additionally,
you can also use your remote control to control the other party’s video camera.*1
*1 To be able to control another party’s video camera, settings must be configured on the other party’s unit (Page 108).
