Chapter 5: Data
Conference
This chapter shows you how to use the data from a computer, etc. connected
to the optional PCSA-DSB1S Data Solution Box for a conference.
The optional PCSA-DSB1S Data Solution Box is equipped with various input/
output connectors. For example, connecting the RGB output on a computer
enables you to transmit the pictures or text data displayed on the computer to
a remote party. When you connect a projector, you can display a high-
resolution image from a computer on the projector at a high transmission rate.
The PCSA-DSB1S is also equipped with connectors for connecting active
speakers and microphones. The PCSA-DSB1S is connected with the Video
Communication System using the interface cable for exclusive use.
The party who receives the data, even if the party has no Data Solution Box or
uses another videoconferencing system such as PCS-1/1P, PCS-11/11P, PCS-
G70/G70P and PCS-1600, can view the computer images sent from the other
party. However, the quality of the picture received varies with the components
of the system. If the Data Solution Box is used by the party who receives the
data, a larger number of frames per second is obtained than the system without
the Data Solution Box. It allows you to obtain a high-resolution motion picture
from a computer.
For details on picture quality depending on the system components, see
"Picture quality of the data solution box" on page 146.
For details on RGB signal specifications, see "Acceptable RGB Input/Output
Signals" on page 264.
Restrictions on the IP address of the system when using the Data
Solution Box
The IP address available for the PCS-TL50 Video Communication System is
restricted when you use the Data Solution Box. Moreover, a network for
communication between the Data Solution Box and the Video Communication
System should be set up to be a separate segment.
As a result, unusable IP address is the value obtained from the AND operation
with the address of the Data Solution Box for communication and the network
mask.
(Unusable IP address for the PCS-TL50) = (IP address of the PCSA-
DSB1S)&(Network mask)
The IP address of the PCSA-DSB1S is fixed at "192.254.1.2". If the Network
mask is assumed to be "255.255.0.0", an unusable IP address is as follows:
192.254.m.n (0
Note on the camera picture when using the Data Solution Box
When transmitting a signal via the Data Solution Box, the camera picture
quality will be lower owing to the decreased number of frames.
