This versatile, easy to use Video Conferencing system is ideal for general business communications as well as distance learning.

The compact, mainstream videoconferencing system includes a High Definition PTZ camera with new 'BrightFace' by Sony. You'll enjoy crisp images in any lighting conditions based on Sony image sensor technology – even dimly lit rooms where a projector's being used. Superb picture quality is partnered by clear, echo-free stereo audio so every participant can be seen and heard clearly.

Also included are an HD video codec unit, two microphones for stereo and a HDMI cable for easy connection to a video monitor, TV or display.

Set-up and operation are refreshingly straightforward. The supplied remote commander allows easy one-touch dialling from your contacts list. Conference participants can share smooth, clear video and voice together with presentations from your PC. A choice of screen layout options makes it easy to configure video conferencing and PC data displays just the way you want to. Voice-activated switching automatically detects who's speaking, displaying their picture as the main image alongside smaller images of other participants.

Optional software makes multi-point conferences are just as simple. The PCS-XG80 can be configured to communicate with up to five remote sites, including a mix of IP and ISDN connections. In addition, two main units can be cascaded to support a maximum of ten sites.
