Sony Intros Desktop Videoconferencing Solution
June 15, 2004
Atlanta, GA - Sony Electronics is introducing the PCS-TL50 series, a desktop videoconferencing solution featuring a unique pan-tilt-zoom camera embedded in a 20-inch LCD display that doubles as a PC monitor.
In addition to the embedded camera, the PCS-TL50 includes an embedded codec, microphone and speakers to minimize desktop clutter and simplify set-up. A new user-friendly graphic interface assists in call execution, while a convenient remote control directs the camera, the company describes.
The PCS-TL50 comes with both IP and ISDN connection capabilities. The system supports ITU-T standard H.264 to achieve television-like quality video on limited bandwidth, as well as high-quality audio through MPEG4 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). The Data Solutions Box (PCS-DSB1) used with Sony group conferencing systems can also be used as a plug-in solution to share PC files over the call. An optional tabletop microphone is available, as well, to better accommodate multiple speakers, and optional multipoint capabilities that can accommodate up to six sites are also available for both IP and ISDN calls.
The PCS-TL50 videoconferencing series is planned to be available this Fall through Sony dealers, beginning at a suggested list price of less than $5,000.
