PCS-HG90
The PCS-HG90 marks the start of a new era in visual communications
The PCS-HG90 delivers unsurpassed quality of the highest standards, enabling applications far beyond conventional videoconferencing. It provides true High Definition, 2-way communication in real-time between up to 4 sites via a built-in MCU.
Operating over standard 8Mbps IP networks, the PCS-HG90 uses H.264 compression to deliver High Definition (1280x720) video resolution at smooth frame-rates of 30P and 60P in combination with superb wideband stereo sound.
For anyone who wants true colour reproduction, razor-sharp detail delivered in real-time at full size there is only one answer: the new Sony PCS-HG90
Benefits
Unique benefits for a wide-range of applications
The PCS-HG90 makes efficient use of the bandwidth and offers a low-delay connection between different sites. For example, this makes the HG90 suitable for broadcasters for live coverage, interviews and remote reporting in HD video quality with high quality audio.
Hospitals can connect multiple facilities via PCS-HG90, enabling surgeons in remote locations to view operating room procedures, consult with colleagues or conduct virtual lectures and training seminars.
Educational institutions can use the systemâ¿¿s distance learning capabilities to link campuses and reach more students at the same time.
Organisations that require fast review of material or client approvals, such as advertising and design agencies, can also employ the technology to transmit high-resolution data and receive feedback immediately.
Manufacturing facilities can share product mock-ups or design "comps" among several locations for simultaneous review
Installation costs minimised due to compatibility with existing A/V equipment
The professional audio and video interfaces of the HG90 deliver full compatibility with professional A/V equipment, accepting analogue or digital signals, from SD to HD including PC signals. The optional camera PCSA-CHG90 can be used with the HG90 to provide high-definition video and PTZ functionality.
Secure Communications
An unparalleled mix of enhanced and intelligent QoS (Quality of Service) functions ensures that the quality of the connection is maintained even under fluctuating network conditions. To prevent eavesdropping on your content by a third party, the system supports 128-bit AES encryption compliant with the ITU-T H.235 standard.
Features
High-Definition Visual Communication
The PCS-HG90 supports the H.264 HD video protocol with compression of 1280 x 720 at 30P or 60P, and a network video transfer bandwidth of up to 8 Mbps using the H.323 standard for communication.
Wideband Stereo Audio
The PCS-HG90 delivers MPEG-4 AAC wideband stereo audio with stereo echo cancelling capabilities.
Professional A/V Interfaces
The PCS-HG90 provides an extensive range of professional audio and video interfaces including HD-SDI, component, RGB, S-video and XLR to meet all the requirements of professional users.
Multipoint Connections
Up to 4 sites can be connected simultaneously in one communication session delivering HD video images at a maximum bandwidth of 2.5 Mbps. Users can select either "voice-activation" or "broadcast" mode with optional site name display.
Enhanced Intelligent QoS (Quality of Service)
changing network conditions: "Forward Error Correction" (FEC), "Real-time Automatic Repeat Request" (ARQ) and "Adaptive Rate Control". The HG90 applies the individual QoS techniques depending on the specific network conditions such as transmission delay and packet loss rate.
Security
To prevent eavesdropping on your content by a third party, the system supports 128-bit AES encryption compliant with the ITU-T H.235 standard.
