Chapter 5: Data
Conference
This chapter shows you how to use the data from a computer, etc. connected
to the optional PCSA-DSB1S Data Solution Box for a conference.
The optional PCSA-DSB1S Data Solution Box is equipped with various input/
output connectors. For example, connecting the RGB output on a computer
enables you to transmit the pictures or text data displayed on the computer to
a remote party. When you connect a projector, you can display a high-
resolution image from a computer on the projector at a high transmission rate.
The PCSA-DSB1S is also equipped with connectors for connecting active
speakers and microphones. The PCSA-DSB1S is connected with the
Communication Terminal using the interface cable for exclusive use.
The party who receives the data, even if the party has no Data Solution Box or
uses another videoconferencing system such as PCS-11/11P and PCS-1600,
can view the computer images sent from the other party. However, the quality
Solution Box is used by the party who receives the data, a larger number of
frames per second is obtained than the system without the Data Solution Box.
For details on picture quality depending on the system components, see
“Picture quality of the data solution box” on page 148.
For details on RGB signal specifications, see “Acceptable RGB Input/Output
Signals” on page 215.
Restrictions on the IP address of the system when using the Data
Solution Box
The IP address available for the PCS-G70/G70P Video Communication
System is restricted when you use the Data Solution Box. Moreover, a network
for communication between the Data Solution Box and the Communication
Terminal should be set up to be a separate segment.
As a result, unusable IP address is the value obtained from the AND operation
with the address of the Data Solution Box for communication and the network
mask.
(Unusable IP address for the PCS-PG70/PG70P) = (IP address of the
PCSA-DSB1S) & (Network mask)
The IP address of the PCSA-DSB1S is fixed at “192.254.1.2”. If the Network
mask is assumed to be “255.255.0.0”, an unusable IP address is as follows:
192.254.m.n (0
m
255, 0
n
255)
Note on the camera picture when using the Data Solution Box
When transmitting a signal via the Data Solution Box, the camera picture
quality will be lower owing to the decreased number of frames.

Chapter 7:
Encrypted
Videoconference
via LAN
When a highly confidential videoconference is required or a videoconference
is held via internet, the Video Communication System enables transmission
and reception of encrypted video, audio and data output from the Data Solution
Box between the systems identified as the same password. Conducting a
videoconference using this feature is known as an encrypted videoconference
via LAN.
This chapter describes how to conduct an encrypted videoconference via LAN.
The encrypted videoconference via LAN is available only among PCS-G70/
G70P Video Communication Systems or between PCS-G70/G70P and remote
parties (receiver) using PCS-11/11P, PCS-1/1P or PCS-TL50/TL50P Video
Communication Systems connected via LAN. You cannot conduct an
encrypted videoconference if the system is connected via an ISDN, via ISDN
& LAN, or with Sony video communication systems other than the PCS-G70/
G70P, PCS-11/11P, PCS-1/1P or PCS-TL50/50P, or with other manufacturers'
videoconferencing systems.
The encryption feature can also be used in multipoint conference using LAN
connection (including the cascade connection via LAN).
Note
In an encrypted conference only video signals, audio signals and RGB signals from a
computer connected to the Data Solution Box are encrypted. Camera control signals (for
controlling the other party’s camera) and whiteboard pictures cannot be encrypted.

Notes
• If you set “Encryption via LAN” to “On”, you cannot connect to a terminal that is not
equipped with the encryption feature to a terminal with “Encryption via LAN” set to
“Off”, or to a terminal without the same password as that of your system.
• You can conduct a videoconference without an encryption feature with a terminal
connected via an ISDN even if you set “Encryption via LAN” to “On”.

Chapter 8:
Multipoint
Videoconference
This chapter describes how to conduct a multipoint videoconference.
For conducting a multipoint videoconference, installation of the optional
PCSA-M3G70 MCU software (for LAN connection) based on the H.323
standard or the optional PCSA-M0G70 MCU software (for ISDN connection)
based on the H.320 standard is required.
Multipoint videoconference among up to ten points including the local site is
available when connecting via a LAN.
When connecting via ISDN lines, you can conduct a multipoint
videoconference among up to six points including the local site. You can use
a normal phone at up to five points over ISDN.
A multipoint videoconference using the ISDN and LAN connections mixed is
also available.
Restrictions on the use of the MCU software
• When a multipoint videoconference is held via LAN, the bandwidth is
automatically set so that the total value of all the points is 4 Mbps at
maximum. The bit rate for each point varies with the points you connect.
• When a multipoint videoconference is held via ISDN, the same number of
channels should be used on all the points and the total channels are up to 12B.
• The supported video modes are H.264, H.263, and H.261 only.
• The supported audio modes are G.711, G.722, G.728, and MPEG4 AAC
only.

Using the Display Control
During a multipoint videoconference with the MCU software installed in the
communication Terminal you can control the following operations.
What is “Broadcast Mode”?
You can use the “Split”, “Split (Fixed)”, “Voice Activate” and “Broadcast”
modes.
Split mode
This mode allows display of the pictures from the connected remote terminals
and the picture of the local terminal by splitting the monitor screen.
The display is split into six, regardless of the number of terminals. You can
also use “Automatic” to split the screen into four or six depending on the
number of terminals. When there are up to three terminals, the display is
automatically split into four. When there are four or five terminals, the display
is automatically split into six.
Pictures A to C or A to E appear in connection order.

Notes
• When the six-split window is displayed, the system detects the terminal including the
loudest sound among all the terminals and displays the picture of that terminal in the
lower right window. The picture on the local site is then displayed in the window
where the picture of the detected terminal was displayed.
• If you switch the broadcast mode from Split mode to Voice Activate mode in which
a picture of a specified terminal is shown in full screen during communication, the
location of Pictures A to E will be changed when the Split mode is restored.
• When the six-split window is displayed, the picture on the local site is always
displayed in the lower right window.
• When your system is in the Split or Split (Fixed) mode, you cannot control the camera
on any connected remote terminals.
Using the Display Control 181

Split (Fixed) mode
The pictures from the connected remote terminals and the picture of the local
terminal are displayed by splitting the monitor screen as the same manner as
those in the split mode.
You can specify a picture among the split windows to fix it in the lower right
window for the six-split mode. Pictures other than the specified one will be
displayed in the split windows in order of connecting.
Six-split window
The picture of the specified terminal is
always displayed in this window.

The system does not send video to the QCIF
terminal.
Notes on Secondary
Terminals
If there is a terminal that is not adequate for
the settings set by this system, that terminal
is called the secondary terminal.
Communication capabilities between the
secondary terminal and this system are
shown below.
• Sending/receiving audio
terminal
• Disables transmission of video to the
secondary terminal
For details on the secondary terminal, see
the glossary on page 224.
When a normal phone is connected
The audio mode of the other terminals is not
affected if a normal phone is connected or
disconnected any time.
When terminals with “Far End
Camera Control” set to “On” and
“Off” are mixed
As the bit rate of video signals differs
depending on the setting of “Far End
Camera Control”, the picture is not
displayed on some terminals.
When a 56K network is mixed among
the terminals if the conference is held
via 64K network
The conference automatically changes to
that via 56 K network. Terminals that cannot
change to that network are regarded as
secondary terminals, and the transmission of
video is not available.
When a terminal with different audio
mode is connected and its video bit
rate is different
The conference is conducted in the video
mode according to the terminal with the
lowest video bit rate. A terminal that cannot
fit this rate is regarded as a secondary
terminal, and the transmission of video is not
available.

• Avoid having large, moving objects,
especially people, behind the participants,
as the quality of the picture transmitted to
the remote party will deteriorate.
• Do not seat participants in front of a wall
with fine stripe patterns.
• Choose a room where echo will not occur.
• Do not install the system near noise
sources such as air conditioners or copy
machines.

Adjust room lighting so that it falls on the
participants. Avoid direct light on the TV
monitor. Light intensity on faces should be
about 300 lux or more.
If an inverter type or brightness-adjustable
type of fluorescent lamp is used, the
sensitivity of the Remote Commander may
deteriorate.

Dialing the second and later lines is done
automatically by the communication
between the videoconferencing systems on
both sites. To use bonding, it is required that
both videoconferencing systems be
equipped with the bonding function and that
“Area Code” and “Local Number” in the
ISDN Setup menu of the answering site be
set correctly. As the communication
between the systems when using the
bonding function is made via the ISDN
numbers of the answering site, the “Area
Code” and “Local Number” settings in the
ISDN Setup menu are not essential at the
dialing site.

communication such as NetMeeting. Using
the HMLP protocol allows faster data
transmission.
Interlaced SIF
With TV pictures, 60 fields of pictures per
second are interlaced to provide high
resolution and smooth motion pictures.
The conventional videoconferencing system
uses CIF format pictures (352 pixel × 388
line) transmitted in 30 fields per second. In
CIF format, smooth motion pictures like TV
pictures cannot be obtained. In the Interlaced
SIF format, interlaced SIF size pictures (352
pixel × 240 line) can be transmitted at 60
frames per second. This enables display of
pictures with higher vertical resolution of
352 pixel × 480 lines, providing smooth
motion picture. However, a relatively higher
bit rate is required as the amount of
