As the quality of IP networks advances and videoconferencing technology evolves, we can communicate more effectively and efficiently regardless of location or the distance separating us. But for top-end professional applications demanding the highest image quality such as with live interview broadcasts, product design conferences, and distance learning including medical teaching, standard videoconferencing systems will have limitations. To meet these demanding professional needs, Sony introduces an exceptional high definition (HD) visual communication system, the PCS-HG90. Sony is a leader in the AV industry and has produced a number of high-quality HD systems. And by inheriting this HD technology, the PCS-HG90, is sure to prove itself as a major player in the HD visual communications market. For the first time in this industry, a high definition video format of 1280 x 720 at 60P and a maximum video transfer rate of 8Mb/s over an IP network has been achieved. With its advanced H.264 HD video codec and its high-resolution and high frame rate of 1280 x 720 60P/30P, the PCS-HG90 boasts realistic and lifelike images even on large-screen displays. In addition to high-quality images, the PCS-HG90 features clear and natural-sounding audio, with its wide frequency range of up to 22 kHz using MPEG-4 AAC (Advance Audio Coding). What’s more, when using audio AUX inputs, the unit supports a wider frequency range of up to 44 kHz, to provide superb-quality audio from a number of different sound sources. Also, what makes the PCS-HG90 unique is that it can accept analog or digital video signals, from SD to HD, as well as PC signals. And because the PCS-HG90 accepts standard video signals via its BNC connectors and stereo audio via XLR connectors, the system is ideal for configuring with professional Audio/Video equipment. An optional PCSA-CHG90 camera unit can be used with the system to provide high quality HD video and a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) capability. Additional features of the PCS-HG90 include a four site multi-point videoconferencing capability, site-name display, and ITU-T H.235 encryption.

For customers demanding effective communication with lifelike audio and video, the PCS-HG90 Visual Communication System can provide a reality never before achieved and it is the ideal choice to meet these demands.
