Chapter 6: Multipoint Connection - Sony PCS-XG80 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-MCG80 HD
MCU software is required.
When connecting via a LAN, multipoint connection among up to 10 points
including your site is available. When connecting via an ISDN, multipoint
connection among up to six points including your site is available, and a phone
can be used at up to five points among six.
A multipoint connection using LAN and ISDN mixed is also available.
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.
• When a multipoint connection is made via an ISDN, the same number of
channels should be used on all the points and the total channels must not
exceed 12B.
• The H.264, H.263+ and H.261 video modes are supported. However, H.264
High Profile is not supported. In addition, connection in 1080 Mode is not
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-XG80/XG80S/XA80 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, the maximum bandwidth to be used is restricted to 4 Mbps.
• The HD MCU software cannot be installed on the PCS-XG55/XG55S/
XA55.
