Chapter 6: Multipoint Connection - Sony IPELA PCS-XG100 Operating Instructions Manual

Chapter 6:
Multipoint
Connection
This chapter describes how to connect your system to multiple points.
For multipoint connection, installation of the optional PCSA-MCG106/
MCG109 HD MCU software is required.
When connecting via a LAN, multipoint connection among up to 16 points
including your site is available.
Notes
• ISDN is supported in version 1.41 and later.
• When using the ISDN connection, installing the PCSA-MCG106/MCG109 HD MCU
software in two or more Communication Systems does not allow cascade connection.
Restrictions on the use of the MCU software
• When a multipoint connection is made via LAN, you can set up the total
communication bit rate for all the connecting points with "Total Bandwidth"
in the Communication setup menu. As the communication bit rate for each
point is automatically adjusted so as not to exceed the value selected in
"Total Bandwidth", actual bit rate per point may differ from that selected for
that point.
• The H.264, H.263+ and H.261 video modes are supported.
• The G.711, G.722, G.728 and MPEG4 AAC audio modes are supported.
• A multipoint connection including a SIP connection is not available.
• Only the PCS-XG100/XG100S/XG77/XG77S is enabled for use as a main
terminal for the cascade connection.
• When the local system is used as the main terminal and connected with
remote terminals other than the PCS-XG80/XG80S/XG55/XG55S/XA80/
XA55/XL55/XG100/XG77/XG100S/XG77S/XC1, the maximum
bandwidth to be used is restricted to 4 Mbps. The maximum bandwidth to be
used is also restricted to 4 Mbps when the remote terminals are mobile
devices.
• Multipoint connections in which the PCS-XG77/XG77S serves as the main
terminal is supported in version 1.41 and later. However, only the
PCSA-MCG106 HD MCU software can be installed on the PCS-XG77/
XG77S.
Restrictions when using ISDN lines
• When using an ISDN connection, connection to only one other point is
possible.
• In connections that include both ISDN and IP, the maximum number of
connections is five other points.
