Combining 1080i high resolution and a high frame rate of 60 fields per second, the PCS-XG80 offers impressive live video quality for a natural alternative to face-to-face meetings, according to Sony.

The system is back-compatible to offer users the flexibility to choose to connect with HD video quality through high bandwidth connections or by using their existing legacy SD systems over IP and/or ISDN. The PCS-XG80 product also features BrightFaceTM technology, which is designed to improve video quality in poorly lit environments as well video annotation and RF remote features.

The PCS-XG80 is an expansion of Sony's current HD PCS group systems range and incorporates many of the functions and features of the PCS-HG90. From PowerPoint and animations to live DVDs, it allows users to share PC data in HD at 30 frames per second.

The dual stream functionality enables users to send two separate streams of live, HD information in parallel. This allows the live camera view and a second data stream, such as a PowerPoint animation, to be displayed simultaneously in HD on two different screens or projectors at the remote site.

Featuring six-site multipoint conferencing, users can call up to five additional remote sites at any one time. The system also features multi-language support for 20 different languages allowing users to easily navigate through the menus. Wide-band stereo audio also enhances the overall meeting experience for users, delivering crisp and clear sound.

"We have drawn on more than 25 years of high definition leadership in the broadcast industry to design a high definition videoconferencing solution that is affordable and flexible, yet delivers an unparalleled user experience," says Kees Hoogstraate, European marketing manager of Videoconferencing for Sony Europe. "We believe the PCS-XG80 delivers the best available video and audio quality on the market for those looking for cost-effective, best of breed and proven communication technologies."
