The shielded interface cable recommended
in this manual must be used with this
equipment in order to comply with the limits
for a computing device pursuant to Subpart
B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
This manual focuses on using ISDN lines
to conduct a videoconference, but it also
covers non-ISDN lines. If you use ISDN
lines, consult your Sony dealer for more
information.
• The ISDN service may not be available
in some areas.

12 Features
Features
The PCS-1/1P Video Communication
System is a videoconferencing system that
provides natural, face-to-face
communications with a remote party by
transmitting and receiving images and sound
via LAN (Local Area Network) or ISDN
(Integrated Services Digital Network)
connections.
Supports ITU-T international
videoconferencing standard
The Video Communication System
complies with ITU-T Recommendations
defined by WTSC for easy connection with
remote parties overseas.
ITU: International Telecommunication
Union
WTSC: World Telecommunications
Standardization Committee
Supports data conferences
Use of the optional PCSA-DSB1S Data
Solution Box allows the data from a personal
computer to be incorporated in the
presentation or to be shown on the projector.
Versatile use with a variety of
display units
The Video Communication System is
compact size, allowing easy installation on a
TV. The camera and the Communication
Terminal can be separately installed,
allowing for greater flexibility when using a
large-size plasma display, projector screen,
etc.
High transmission speeds and
high-quality picture capability
The Video Communication System accepts
a LAN bandwidth of up to 1920 Kbps. It also
allows connection to as many as three ISDN
lines; 6B channels usable by using the
optional PCSA-B384S ISDN Unit and as
many as six ISDN lines; 12B channels
usable by using the optional PCSA-B768S
ISDN Unit.
Wide range of video/audio
compression formats selectable
The Video Communication System supports
Interlaced SIF, H.264, MPEG4, H.263+,
H.263 and H.261 for video compression
format, and MPEG4 Audio, G.722.1,
G.722, G.729, G.728, G.723.1, G.711 for
audio compression format. You can choose
whether priority is given to video or audio
depending on the type of conference or
video/audio equipment used by a remote
party.
QoS (Quality of Service) function
for optimization of bandwidth and
traffic packet through network
“Packet Resend Request” and “Adaptive
Rate Control” functions incorporated,
allowing solution for busy network traffic or
packet loss, which provides consistent high-
quality communication.
Easy setup and operation
The Help menu appears on the monitor
screen for guidance of operation. The menus
used for the system administrator or those
for conference participants are separately
displayed.
The Video Communication System supports
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to allow
automatic NAT configuration.
Supports multipoint conference
Installing the optional PCS-323M1 H.323
MCU software (for LAN) or the PCS-
320M1 H.320 MCU software (for ISDN)
allows conduct of a multipoint conference.
The multipoint conference via LAN and
ISDN connections mixed is also available if
both the PCS-323M1 H.323 and PCS-
320M1 H.320 MCU software are installed in
a main Terminal.
Memory Stick slot equipped
The Communication Terminal is equipped
with a Memory Stick slot, allowing the use
of still images recorded with a digital still
camera and stored in the “Memory Stick”.

13Features
Chapter 1: Installation and Preparation
Dual monitor system
Two monitors can be connected to the
Communication Terminal, enabling the use
of one monitor for motion pictures, and the
other monitor for pictures from a computer
or still images.
Supports encrypted
videoconferences
The terminal allows you to hold a strictly
confidential videoconference using standard
encryption, which complies with ITU-T
recommendations H.233, H.234, and H.235,
or Sony’s original encryption.
When using standard encryption, an
encrypted videoconference between two
points or among multiple points (including
cascade connection and mixed LAN and
ISDN connection) is available via ISDN
and/or LAN.
When using Proprietary encryption, an
encrypted videoconference between two
points or among multiple points is available
via LAN or SIP.
Supports a conference using SIP
Installing the optional PCSA-SP1 SIP
software allows conduct of a conference
with an IP phone, etc. using SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol).
During a conference using SIP, you can put
a call on hold or transfer it to another remote
party following procedures similar to those
of an IP phone. You can also use the data
transmitted via the PCSA-DSB1S Data
Solution Box during the conference.
If you install the optional MCU software as
well as the SIP software, you can conduct a
multipoint conference.

• To hold a videoconference with high speeds and highest quality image
transmission by connecting up to three ISDN lines (when using the PCSA-
B384S) or by connecting up to six ISDN lines (when using the PCSA-
B768S).
System configuration
About the number of ISDN lines and B (bearer) channel
Up to three ISDN lines with the PCSA-B384S ISDN Unit or up to six ISDN lines
with the PCSA-B768S ISDN Unit can be connected to one PCS-1/1P. Each ISDN
line is composed of two B channels that carry data signals on the ISDN
interface, enabling both channels to be used for one ISDN line connection (2B
connection), or each for a separate ISDN line connection (1B connection). The
more channels you use for a single communication, the faster speeds and
higher-quality picture you can obtain for your network communication. You
can connect up to three ISDN lines with the PCSA-B384S and select the
number of channels used for a single communication from among 1B (64K),
2B (128K), 3B (192K), 4B (256K), 5B (320K) and 6B (384K) connections.
When using the PCSA-B768S, you can connect up to six ISDN lines and select
the number of channels from among 1B (64K), 2B (128K), 3B (192K), 4B
(256K), 5B (320K) and 6B (384K), 8B (512K) and 12B (768K) connections.

20 System Configuration
You need to install the optional PCS-323M1 H.323 MCU software.
This allows you:
• To hold a multipoint videoconference among up to ten sites over LAN.
• To show still images stored in a “Memory Stick”.
• To show the still images on the second TV monitor or projector.
• To pick up a large number of participants’ voices using up to two external
microphones.
