The New
KBC-960T is an all-in-one video
conferencing system 60" inches (viewable area, measured diagonally) wide XGA LCD, speakers,
and a microphone in one compact and sleek body. With a built-in Ethernet
interface, the KBC-960T can be configured by simply plugging it into a
compatible LAN (minimum 256Kpbs, up to maximum 10Mbps) and making a few quick
settings on its intuitive setup menu.
The KBC-960T system complies with the H.264 standard to deliver high-quality
video at up to 10Mbps. Support for MPEG4 AAC audio (14 kHz) also provides
excellent sound quality while reducing bandwidth requirements.
Compliance with a
range of industry standards enables operation of these products as an endpoint
with other standards-based systems. The initial version of the KBC-960T
supports UPnP. Options for the PCS-TL30 include the Data Solution Module
(PCSA-DSM1), a plug-in for Sony group conferencing systems to enable the sharing
of PC files while a conference is in progress. Support for the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) will also be available as an option for the
KBC-960T.
KBC-960T Main Features
·
All-in-one
Design
The
KBC-960T is an all-in-one videoconferencing system t32inches (viewable area, measured diagonally) Wide-XGA LCD,
speakers, and a wireless microphone in one compact and sleek body. What's more, it even
doubles as a PC display. And the unit has a privacy cover that can be closed at
times when the user prefers not to receive video conference calls. The
KBC-960T
also has a height-adjustment and swivel mechanism so that it can be adjusted for
optimal viewing. And because the unit meets VESA standards for mounting on a
bracket, it can be installed in a way that maximizes desktop workspace.
·
Easy Setup
and Built-in Network Interface
With a built-in Ethernet interface, the Sony PCS-TL30 can be configured by
simply plugging it into a compatible LAN (minimum 56Kpbs, up to maximum 10Mbps)
and making a few quick settings on its intuitive setup menu. The
KBC-960T
supports data-transfer rates of up to 10 Mb/s over IP networks (H.323), making
high-quality videoconferencing possible.
·
Simple Menu
Structure/Easy Operation With a Mouse
The
KBC-960T
was thoughtfully designed with an intuitive GUI, utilizing translucent cascading
menus and displaying all menu items on one layer. The
KBC-960T
can be controlled by the supplied mouse, which can be connected to it directly.
The mouse can also be used to control a PC by connecting a separate cable
between the
KBC-960T
and the PC. For ease of use, text messages are displayed at the bottom of the
screen as a guide. And the intuitive icons make it quick and easy to change
display layouts, capture images, and place calls.
·
·
Multitasking
(Simultaneous Video Conferencing/PC)
With the KBC-960T , the user can continue to work on their PC even while
they are on a video conference call. This unique feature is ideal for
business people who want to increase their productivity.
·
Data-sharing
Capabilities
When using the optional
KBC-960T Data Solution Module, which is neatly
integrated into the rear of the unit, the
KBC-960T is capable of sending or
receiving any image that can be displayed on a PC (presentation data) in native XGA resolution during a video conference. And because the
KBC-960T is equipped
with an RGB Out connector, presentation data from the
KBC-960T
can be enlarged by connecting the unit to equipment such as a projector or a
large display.
·
Memory
Stick/Memory Stick PRO Media Support
If multiple users choose to use a single
KBC-960T,
each user can store their personal contact information on Memory Stick media
cards. After inserting the Memory Stick media into the
KBC-960T,
the unit automatically recognizes and activates the private phonebook, thereby
eliminating the need to re-enter contact information to place a call. In
addition to the private phonebook function, the
KBC-960T
accepts Memory Stick media for storing still image data received from the user's
video conferencing counterpart, capturing video conference images, and for
installing optional software.
·
Still Image
Capturing Function
A still image of the user's video conferencing counterpart can be captured and
stored in the KBC-960T
memory or on Memory Stick media. This image can then be easily registered in the
address book as a picture icon for one-click dialing.
·
Multiple
Display Modes
The KBC-960T
has multiple display modes such as Full Screen, Picture-in-Picture, or
Picture-and- Picture (including a side-by-side split screen). What's more, a
unique 3-window layout mode is available, which displays presentation data on
the left side of the screen while displaying videoconferencing images in two
small windows on the right side of the screen. Any of these flexible display
modes can be selected so that both videoconferencing images and presentation
data can be displayed in a manner that is effective and pleasing to the eye.
·
Excellent
Video Quality
The
KBC-960T complies with the ITU H.264 video codec in addition to
previous versions of the ITU videoconferencing codec to maintain compatibility
with legacy systems. ITU H.264 is the latest video standard that offers
high-picture quality at a much lower bit rate than the H.263 standard.
· Superb
Sound
Clear and natural-sounding audio is produced with the
KBC-960T as it
supports MPEG-4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) at 14 kHz. Boasting dual-integrated
speakers and a built-in echo-canceling microphone, audio quality is much higher
than conventional speakerphone systems. Also, a microphone jack and a headphone
jack are available for external microphone or headset use (Cordless Headphone
Mic. Inclusive).
·
Secure Video
Conferencing
Secure video conferencing over a network is possible because the
KBC-960T
supports 128-bit encryption. The
KBC-960T offers two encryption modes, one that
complies with the ITU-T H.235 standard, which allows encrypted communication
with other H.235-compliant systems, and another that is Sony proprietary, which
is ideal when connecting to other PCS Series systems. When either of these
encryption modes is active, video, audio, and graphics are encrypted for the
duration of the video conference.
·
QoS (Quality
of Service)
When holding a video conference over a network, a common concern is how to
maintain video and audio quality when the performance of the network is
changing. The
KBC-960T
provides two advanced functions to enhance QoS over
a network:
o
Adaptive
Rate Control (ARC):
The adaptive rate control
function automatically varies the audio and video bit transfer rate to meet
changing network conditions. It also selects the most appropriate frame rates,
which helps to prevent audio and video breakup.
o
Real-time
Auto Repeat Request (ARQ):
The real-time ARQ function recovers lost IP packets. This is performed by
buffering the packets at the encoder and resending any that are lost. This
feature helps maintain the audio and video quality, and helps prevent picture
collapse even under high network traffic conditions.
· Transportable
The all-in-one KBC-960T
is equipped with a handle and has a relatively light weight of 8 kg , making it very portable and easy to transport.
· Wireless LAN
Capability
By connecting an external wireless LAN device to the network interface of the
KBC-960T, the unit can be used on a compatible wireless network (minimum
256Kpbs, up to maximum 10Mbps).
Our
factory-trained sales and technical staff install and support
KBC-960T
projects across the country and around the world. As with the other video
conferencing products we represent, Komals provides clients with one point of
contact for sales, service, management and support of the entire Sony video
conferencing product line.
