The PCS-XG80 - affordable, powerful, compact high definition 1080i video conferencing

The new PCS-XG80 High Definition 1080i Visual Communication system delivers four times the detail of standard definition, bringing astounding clarity to video conferencing. Unique Sony BrightFace technology enables you to see every glance, even in poorly-lit environments, and crisp stereo audio creates natural meetings as if everyone were in the same room together.

The PCS-XG80 features dual screen functionality so you can enjoy a live camera view on one screen at the same time as sharing live data from your laptop. Perfect for corporate meetings, medical conferences, educational seminars and distance learning, the PCS-XG80 delivers performance speeds up to 30 frames/second.

For anyone who wants true colour reproduction, razor-sharp detail delivered in real-time at full 1080 size, then use the new Sony PCS-XG80.

Powerful, affordable, and compact, the PCS-XG80 delivers high definition 1080i video quality to make your daily communication more effective, productive and comfortable. Without the cost and time of travel, you can experience a level of detail that might indicate a buying decision, confirm an important diagnosis, improve a student’s comprehension or enable you to carry the support of international customers or colleagues for a new idea.

The PCS-XG80 has two network interfaces which offer several advantages. Connections between LAN and WAN are possible without having to plug or unplug cables, change network settings or use a Firewall/NAT Traversal server. This reduces overall costs, especially if there is only one VC units that requires LAN & WAN access.

The PCS-XG80 enables you to share data at 30 frames per second, which results in live data: you could even share a DVD from your laptop. Perfect for design meetings, medical conferences or training and education sessions, it’s a feature that significantly enhances the exchange of ideas and information.

Using the optional Video Annotation function with a third-party writing tablet, either side of the conference can clearly point out specific parts of an image, creating a truly collaborative environment and ensuring that critical details in medical reports, concepts or prototypes are fully understood by all parties.

The intuitive GUI produces translucent cascading menus, which are very simple to operate, even for inexperienced users. Calls to frequently used entries can be made at the touch of a button. The PCS-XG80 remote control uses a RF (radio frequency) signal, so you no longer have to point to the system or camera to action commands.
