Chapter 5: Data Conference This chapter shows you how to use the data from a computer, etc. connected to the optional PCS-DSB1 Data Solution Box for a conference. The optional PCS-DSB1 Data Solution Box is equipped with various input/ output connectors. For example, connecting the RGB output on a computer enables you to transmit the pictures or text data displayed on the computer to a remote party. When you connect a projector, you can display a highresolution image from a computer on the projector at a high transmission rate. The PCS-DSB1 is also equipped with connectors for connecting active speakers and microphones. The PCS-DSB1 is connected with the Communication Terminal using the interface cable for exclusive use. The party who receives the data, even if the party has no Data Solution Box or uses another videoconferencing system such as PCS-11/11P, PCS-G70/G70P, PCS-TL50 and PCS-1600, can view the computer images sent from the other party. However, the quality of the picture received varies with the components of the system. If the Data Solution Box is used by the party who receives the data, a larger number of frames per second is obtained than the system without the Data Solution Box. It allows you to obtain a high-resolution motion picture from a computer. For details on picture quality depending on the system components, see “Picture quality of the data solution box” on page 138. For details on RGB signal specifications, see “Acceptable RGB Input/Output Signals” on page 219. Restrictions on the IP address of the system when using the Data Solution Box The IP address available for the PCS-1/1P Video Communication System is restricted when you use the Data Solution Box. Moreover, a network for communication between the Data Solution Box and the Communication Terminal should be set up to be a separate segment. As a result, unusable IP address is the value obtained from the AND operation with the address of the Data Solution Box for communication and the network mask. (Unusable IP address for the PCS-1/1P) = (IP address of the PCSDSB1)&(Network mask) The IP address of the PCS-DSB1 is fixed at “192.254.1.2”. If the Network mask is assumed to be “255.255.0.0”, an unusable IP address is as follows: 192.254.m.n (0 m 255, 0 n 255) Note on the camera picture when using the Data Solution Box When transmitting a signal via the Data Solution Box, the camera picture quality will be lower owing to the decreased number of frames. 132 Connection Example Using the Data Solution Box Notes • Be sure not to turn on the power of each unit until all the connections are completed. • Do not connect/disconnect the camera cable or the interface cable with the power on. Doing so may damage the Camera Unit, Communication Terminal or Data Solution Box. • Used with the Data Solution Box for the first time, the Communication Terminal may automatically upgrade the software of the Data Solution Box. While the upgrading message is displayed on the monitor screen, be sure not to turn off the Communication Terminal. Doing so may cause malfunction of the system.

For example, when you use three ISDN lines (up to 6B channels are usable) and set the menu to “4B (256K),” 4B channels are used for the first remote point connection, and the remaining 2B channels are used for the second remote point connection. 156 Connection Examples for a Multipoint Videoconference Note When you are called from a remote party and the remote party has set a lower number of ISDN channels than that in this terminal, the setting on the remote party’s terminal has priority. Notes • When using the ISDN connections, installing the PCS-320M1 H.320 MCU software into two or more Communication Terminals does not allow cascade connection. • For a multipoint videoconference only the Communication Terminal in which the PCS-320M1 H.320 MCU software is installed is used as the main terminal. If you want to use two or more Communication Terminals as main terminals depending on the type of conference, the same number of H.320 MCU software as that of the main terminals is required. Connection Examples for a Multipoint Videoconference 157 Chapter 8: Multipoint Videoconference To connect with a normal phone When you are using an ISDN connection, a normal phone can be connected at up to five points. Only the 1B (64K) connection is available for a normal phone.

Chapter 8: Multipoint Videoconference If there is a terminal that is not adequate for the settings set by this system, that terminal is called the secondary terminal. Communication capabilities between the secondary terminal and this system are shown below. • Sending/receiving audio • Receiving video from the secondary terminal • Disables transmission of video to the secondary terminal For details on the secondary terminal, see Glossary on page 228. When a normal phone is connected The audio mode of the other terminals is not affected if a normal phone is connected or disconnected any time. When terminals with “Far End Camera Control” set to “On” and “Off” are mixed As the bit rate of video signals differs depending on the setting of “Far End Camera Control”, the picture is not displayed on some terminals. When a 56K network is mixed among the terminals if the conference is held via 64K network The conference automatically changes to that via 56 K network. Terminals that cannot change to that network are regarded as secondary terminals, and the transmission of video is not available. When a terminal with different audio mode is connected and its video bit rate is different The conference is conducted in the video mode according to the terminal with the lowest video bit rate. A terminal that cannot fit this rate is regarded as a secondary terminal, and the transmission of video is not available.

SIP is a protocol to start communication via a network standardized by IETP (Internet Engineering Task Force). For conducting a videoconference with an IP phone using SIP, installation of the optional PCSA-SP1 SIP software in the Communication Terminal and connection via a SIP server are required. Installation of the optional MCU software allows multipoint videoconference with up to 5 IP phones. Connection Examples for a Videoconference Using SIP Connection Example for Point-to-Point Videoconference Connect the Communication Terminal in which the optional PCSA-SP1 SIP software has been installed to an IP phone and a SIP server via a hub.

Videoconferencing Room Layout 227 Glossary BONDING* BONDING is one of the Inverse Multiplexing methods allowing connection of the videoconferencing system using multiple ISDN lines. Dialing the first ISDN line only enables you to connect all other lines. Dialing the second and later lines is automatically done by the communication between the videoconferencing systems on both sites. To use BONDING, it is required that both videoconferencing systems are equipped with the BONDING function and that “Area Code” and “Local Number” in the ISDN Setup menu on the answering site are set correctly. As the communication between the systems when using the BONDING function is made via the ISDN numbers on the answering site, setting of “Area Code” and “Local Number” in the ISDN Setup menu is not essential on the dialing site. * BONDING (Bandwidth on Demand Interoperability Group) is a registered trademark of THE BONDING CONSORTIUM. BRI An abbreviation for Basic Rate Interface. Basic interface standardized by the ITU-T. Single ISDN has two B channels and one D channel. CIF An abbreviation for Common Intermediate Format.

H.261 Video codec for audio/visual services as p × 64 Kbps. Videoconferencing standard that defines a video coding algorithm, picture format and error correcting technology for communication between different manufacturers’ video codecs. H.263 A video coding algorithm based on the H.261 standard. This format enables communication via a lower bit rate. H.263+ Video encoding/decoding format based on the H.263 standard, added by the Annex I to T (I, J, K …… T), that allows enhanced picture quality and error resistance. Normally, this format is a profile used with a combination of some of the Annex for H.263/H.263+. H.264 A video coding algorithm newly standardized by the ITU-T in May 2003. This format realizes high-quality picture via a lower bit rate. It provides an equal picture quality via half as low bit rate as the H.263 format. The H.264 format is also called as MPEG4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC). H.323 This enables communications on the nonQOS (Quality of Service) LAN. HMLP See “MLP”. I-MUX An abbreviation for Inverse Multiplexer. This protocol allows you to transmit the data at 384 Kbps via 6B-channel. Interlaced SIF With TV pictures, 60 fields of pictures per second are interlaced to provide high resolution and smooth motion pictures. The conventional videoconferencing system uses CIF format pictures (352 pixel × 388 line) transmitted in 30 fields per second. In CIF format, smooth motion pictures like TV pictures cannot be obtained. In the Interlaced SIF format, interlaced SIF size pictures (352 pixel × 240 line) can be transmitted at 60 frames per second. This enables display of pictures with higher vertical resolution of 352 pixel × 480 lines, providing smooth motion picture. However, a relatively higher bit rate is required as the amount of information is twice as much as that of the CIF format. ISDN An abbreviation for Integrated Services Digital Network.

QCIF An abbreviation for Quater CIF. The number of pixels is a quarter than one of CIF format. 176 pixels × 144 lines Secondary terminal Normally, a multipoint videoconference is not available unless the video and audio modes and transmission rate of the videoconferencing systems of all the sites are the same.*1 For a multipoint videoconference the terminal that can be connected in the same modes is called a primary terminal, while a secondary terminal is the terminal in which some of the functions are restricted since the connection is not enabled with the same modes. The 230 Glossary restriction on the functions depends on the conditions described in “Notes on Secondary Terminals” under “Chapter 8 Multipoint Videoconference”. For example, this system does not transmit video signals to a terminal that has no common formats but can communicate via audio signals. In this case, the terminal in which picture viewing is not available is regarded as a secondary terminal.*2 A terminal communicated via a normal phone included in the multipoint videoconference is also called a secondary terminal. For details on secondary terminals, see “Notes on Secondary Terminals” on page 179. *1 Difference between the NTSC and PAL color systems is permitted. *2 Receiving the video signals from this terminal may be available with the system.
