Multiple Display Output
In addition to the main monitor output, the PCS-G70S
can support up to five additional monitors that can
be used to display the five other far-end sites in a
6-way videoconference.
Site-Name Display
Fig 2
During multi-point videoconferences, it can be
difficult to keep track of all of the participants;
however, with the PCS-G70S site-name display
function, this is no longer the case. The PCS-G70S
can display anything from company or branch
names to geographical locations on a monitor,
allowing videoconference participants to keep
track of all parties. This function is available both
on a single monitor in continuous-presence mode
and on multiple monitors.
Flexible Display Patterns at All Sites
In addition to conventional patterns of display – such
as showing the far-end site on a full screen or
displaying near-end and far-end sites in picture-in-
picture mode – a variety of other display patterns are
available with the PCS-G70S. Supporting both
4-screen and 6-screen continuous-presence modes,
the PCS-G70S can display the most appropriate
pattern to match the number of sites that are
connected. In both full-screen and continuous-
presence modes, the following two display options
are available:

Voice Switching
The PCS-G70S defaults to voice switching, which
displays the far-end site that is actively talking on
the monitor when the unit is in full-screen mode.
In continuous-presence mode, the site that is
actively speaking is displayed on the largest of the
six sub screens, and the near-end site is displayed on
the sub screen where the original far-end site was.

Fixed Site
As its name suggests, the selected far-end site is
continuously displayed on the monitor when the unit is
in full-screen mode. In continuous-presence mode the
selected far-end site is displayed in the largest of the six
sub screens, and the other sites are fixed as well.
