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.
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.
For further information on the Sony PCS-1 and PCS-11 contact
our Sony experts. TKO's expertise, service and technical
support are available anywhere around the world at your
doorstep.
