Sony PCS-1 - Video Conferencing Kit User manual

Built-In Microphone
A leader in the audio conferencing
market, Sony has transferred
that expertise into the built-in
microphone to provide superb
sound quality making the
videoconference audio sound
natural, clear and crisp.
Memory Stick®
Media Support
Data sharing in a videoconference
is easier than ever with optional
Memory Stick media, allowing
presentation documents and photos
to be displayed in 4CIF format
without connecting to a computer.
The displayed graphics can even
be transferred to remote sites.
Quality of Service
Maintaining picture quality is paramount when conducting a
videoconferencing meeting. Sony’s Adaptive Rate Control (ARC)
feature automatically adjusts picture quality to changing network
conditions while the Auto Repeat reQuest (ARQ) feature helps to
avoid picture collapse by recovering and resending lost packets.
