Lifelike Visual Communication
You can experience lifelike visual communication*1 with smooth, high-quality video and clear stereo*2 sound.
*1 If you are using the KX-VC300, sending images in Full HD can only be done by purchasing an activation key card (KX-VCS401) to
activate this feature (Page 107).
*2 If using 2 or more Digital Boundary Microphones, stereo output can be enabled through system settings (Page 95). When using
Digital Boundary Microphones and an Analog Boundary Microphone together, stereo output may be unavailable depending on the
connection configuration (Page 25, Page 27).
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.
Stabilized 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 visual communication with stabilized
communication quality even over an Internet connection.
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 59). You
can also register up to 9 preset patterns of video camera direction and zoom level which allows you to easily

Introduction

change the video camera’s direction and zoom level by selecting a preset (Page 61, Page 63). 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 92).
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 69, Page 76).
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.
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 (Page 105). For information
about supported SIP servers, contact your dealer.
Enhanced Features through the Use of Activation Keys
By using an activation key (sold separately), you can upgrade the features of the KX-VC300 (Page 83). After
you upgrade the features, the KX-VC300 can initiate 3-party/4-party video conference calls and send images
in Full HD resolution. Features enabled through activation keys are available even after performing a system
initialization (Page 107). For details about the activation key, contact your dealer.
Connection to non-Panasonic Video Conference Systems
You can connect to a non-Panasonic video conference system and have a 2-party video conference call
(Page 48).*1
*1 For details about the types of non-Panasonic video conference systems you can connect to, contact your dealer. Communication
cannot be encrypted when you connect to a non-Panasonic video conference system. Instead, connect over an intranet or via a VPN
(Virtual Private Network).
Document Version 2012-03 Operating Manual 3
Introduction

MCU Connection
By connecting to an MCU (multipoint control unit), you can make multiple-party video conference calls with 5
or more parties, rather than the normal maximum of 4 parties (Page 49).*1
*1 For details about the types of MCUs you can connect to, contact your dealer. Communication cannot be encrypted when you connect
to an MCU. Instead, connect over an intranet or via a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
