Sony, a leader in the AV industry,
introduces a powerful new addition to its high-definition (HD)
visual communication lineup, the PCS-XG55. Powerful, affordable,
and compact,
the PCS-XG55 achieves 720p HD video quality with a maximum frame
rate of 60 fps,
making your style of everyday business communication more
effective, productive, and
comfortable.
What’s more, the HD camera of the PCS-XG55 adopts Sony-developed
BrightFace™
technology, which produces clear images even when used in rooms
with less-than-ideal
lighting conditions. The unit also features clear and natural
sounding stereo audio,
allowing you to hold stress-free videoconferences with “real
communication” as if you
were talking in the same room.
To make videoconferencing a powerful mainstream business
communication tool, the
PCS-XG55 has been designed to be extremely user-friendly. With
an intuitive Graphical
User Interface (GUI) that employs a simple layer structure and
translucent cascading
menus, the system makes videoconferencing easier. Moreover, the
PCS-XG55 offers a
number of other features for user convenience, such as a
one-touch dialing feature
for starting a videoconference, an HDMI interface allowing a
single cable connection
between the codec and display, and stress-free operation using
the RF Remote
Commander® unit. You can also enhance the quality of your
videoconferences with
effective data sharing (video and presentation data from a PC)
because the PCS-XG55
complies with the ITU-T H.239 standard*1. Presentation data can
be transferred at a
frame rate as high as 30 fps, which makes it possible to present
animations during a
videoconference. Moreover, by using the video annotation
function*2 of the PCS-XG55,
you can clearly point out specific parts of an image by writing
on a tablet. With these
outstanding data-sharing tools, you can now minimize
misunderstandings during your
videoconference.
With excellent HD video quality in a stylish and compact design,
the PCS-XG55 takes
your visual communications to the next level.
