PCS-G50 Video Communication System

1. NEW FEATURES

1-1. Version 2.10

1-1-1. Standard Encryption

The standard encryption methods outlined in ITU-T H.233, H.234, and H.235 are supported.

PCS-G50 can be connected to other manufacturer’s units using an encryption method. (For connection information, refer to the documentation provided with the other manufacturer’s unit.)

Two encryption methods are available:

1. Standard

2. SONY (conventional LAN encryption)

Standard encryption has two modes:

1. Encryption prioritized: Establishes only encrypted connections using standard encryption.

2. Connectivity prioritized: Establishes an encrypted connection with remote parties that support encryption, and establishes a non-encrypted connection with terminals that do not support encryption.

Standard encryption supports encrypted IP and ISDN conferences; however, encrypted conferences are not supported under a multipoint connection using both IP and ISDN.

Table 1 shows encryption support for various configurations during a point-to-point connection.

Table 2 shows encryption support for various configurations during a multipoint connection.

Camera angle can be fine tuned. When first pressing the arrow button on the remote commander, the camera moves slowly; as the button is held, the camera moves faster.

2-1-2. Transmission of Presentation Data

The time required to transmit presentation data via DSB is reduced.

2-1-3. H.263 4CIF

The performance of video mode (H.263 4CIF) is improved.

2-1-4. Web Interface

The Web interface is improved as follows:

• Web control is now available to users who want to release streamed data that has been received.

• The MIC Off indicator is displayed on the terminal.

• To avoid confusion as to which terminal is in control, the terminal name is displayed in the Web control window. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1

V2.10 Release Notes 5

PCS-G50 Video Communication System

2-1-5. User Interface

The user interface is improved as follows:

• A confirmation dialog box now appears when recording is ended.

• Invalid multicast addresses can no longer be saved (224.0.0.0-239.255.255.255).

• Files recorded on a memory stick now appear in a list on the Memory Stick menu.

• The “broadcast in progress” indicator is animated during a multipoint conference. When the indicator is terminated, the indicator shrinks and fades.

2-1-6. Muting During DTMF Tone

Audio from MIC/AUX-IN is now muted during DTMF tone transmission.

2-1-7. Standby Mode

The unit can be released from standby mode by pressing any button on the remote control (other than the Power On button).

2-1-8. Bit Rate for ARC Video

In an environment with significant packet loss from automatic route control (ARC), the minimum bit rate for video transmission is set to 64 Kbps; bit rate no longer falls to 0.

2-1-9. Camera Control Target

The camera control target (FAR/NEAR) can be changed quickly by pressing and holding the (FAR/NEAR) button on the remote commander.

2-1-10. Setup Data

Only setup data from the same model and version can be loaded. This prevents malfunctions that may occur if setup data from a different model or version are loaded.

2-1-11. Enabling or Disabling Connection-Related Settings

Turning individual settings ON and OFF in communication mode enables or disables connection-related settings during an MCU connection.

2-1-12. Miscellaneous Improvements

• ISDN sub addresses now function properly.

• The Wizard is no longer launched if an ISDN-related setting is performed.

• ISDN multipoint transmissions can now be performed if H.320MCU (PCSA-M0G70, PCSA-M0G50) is the only option installed.

6 V2.10 Release Notes

PCS-G50 Video Communication System

• Multipoint transmission from the Web interface no longer fails if either the H.320MCU option (PCSA-M0G70, PCSA-M0G50) or the H.323MCU option (PCSA-M3G70, PCSA-M3G50) is not installed.

• During a cascade connection, a point name is no longer occasionally displayed.

• Input can now be switched properly from the Web interface.

• Still images are now sent correctly when:

• A cascade connection is established when a child terminal in a multipoint connection becomes the MCU using the On-the-Fly function.

• An attempt is made to send still images from the Web by pressing the AutoStop button when no sequential still images are being sent.

• When video input is set to IR1, IR1 is now displayed correctly after restart.

• The launcher is now displayed correctly when power is turned ON under the following conditions:

• Video mode is PAL.• The number of monitors to be used is 1.• Monitor output is set to DSB RGB.

• When both the main and sub camera (PCSA-CT70) are connected, the Web is displayed correctly and is no longer displayed in blue.

2-1-13. Known Issues

• The broadcaster icon is displayed during a connection between two terminals. This occurs when one or more terminals exit a multipoint conference and the connection is reduced to two points. PCS still functions internally as if in multipoint mode, and one of the two remaining terminals becomes the broadcaster.

• Still images sent to a remote child terminal may be delayed approximately 0.5 seconds when sent by a child terminal during a cascade connection.

• When a split screen is displayed during a multipoint connection, switching between terminals from the Web is not prohibited as it should be. Switching from the remote controller is properly prohibited.

• In a multipoint conference using PRI with five or more terminals where a 6B line is used per terminal, video from all terminals may not be sent or received correctly. If this situation occurs, set video mode of all terminals to the default setting, or set video mode on the MCU to H.263.

2-2. Version 2.01

2-2-1. Presentation Data

Presentation data is now transmitted and received properly.

Communication with IR (infrared ray) is supported with the main camera and the sub camera as an object camera; however, only one IR sub camera can be used.

NOTE: PCS-DS150 is discontinued.

3-6. AUTO Video Mode

When video mode is set to AUTO in the Communication Setup menu, Interlace and 4CIF modes are set automatically and cannot be changed.

Interlace mode may be activated even if it is set to OFF. Interlace and 4CIF modes are active only with H.264 or H.263 video codec.

8 V2.10 Release Notes

PCS-G50 Video Communication System

3-7. Input of Far-End Terminal

When input to the remote terminal (PCS-G50) is switched to AUX2 in dual camera or split picture mode (which utilizes two video inputs), the switch is applied to the second video input. Otherwise, the switch is applied to the first video input.

When input to the remote terminal (PCS-G50) is switched to AUX2, Input-2 should be switched to AUX2.

The input selection function operates well in dual camera or split picture mode; however, this function does not operate well at the remote terminal for single-video-source conferencing.

Select AUX1 for the main system when you want the remote terminal to select a single video source from multiple sources for single-video-source conferencing.

The input selection function operates well at the remote terminal in point-to-point connections with PCS-G50 when AUX2 is specified before starting the conference.

3-8. Recommended Settings for Active-Motion Conferencing

When you use conferencing in active-motion situations, use the recommended settings in Table 4.

Figure 4

4. Choose 4CIF Mode > Off. (See Figure 5.)

Figure 5

AUTO Mode

When you set the mode to AUTO, the priority is video resolution rather than video motion. In normal conferencing situations, the default video codec modes perform perfectly with respect to resolution and motion. However, in more active-motion situations, blocks, artifacts, jitter, and frame jump may occur.

V2.10 Release Notes 11

PCS-G50 Video Communication System

In AUTO mode, PCS-G50 uses the settings shown in Table 5.

NOTE: The priority may be different from the video/audio mode that is actually used, depending on the remote party.

3-9. Bit rate for QoS Forward Error Correction (FEC)

When Hybrid mode or FEC setup is set to ON, the bandwidth used for actual video transmission occupies three-fifths of the communication bandwidth provided because FEC error correction information is added. The remaining two-fifths of the communication bandwidth is the overhead.

Figure 6 shows when the FEC function is used.

Figure 6

In Hybrid mode, ARQ, FEC & ARQ, and FEC modes are selected dynamically based on the packet loss ratio and the network RTT. In FEC & ARQ mode, packets that cannot be recovered by FEC are recovered using ARQ (Real-time ARQ, Automatic Repeat reQuest).
