The most advanced video conferencing technologies are bundled by Sony into two of the most reliable audio and video communications systems, the Sony PCS-1 and PCS-11. These products are truly a step ahead of the market. The PCS-1 and PCS-11 are two of the most sophisticated, powerful and easy-to-use products at their respective price points available from any manufacturer in the video communications industry.

PCS 1 and PCS 11

Same Technology - Different Utilization
The PCS-1 and the PCS-11 series are built on the same video conferencing technology platform. Both systems utilize the same camera and microphone and have the same form factor. The PCS-1, however, is built to support higher bandwidth calls for multipoint calls while the PCS-11 is primarily suited as an endpoint system offering excellent picture quality at low cost. Further, the PCS-1 has a dedicated whiteboard input jack and it can support concurrent dual stream video including live video of meeting participants and live data - both simultaneously.
