Sony PCS TL30 - video conferencing kit

The PCS-TL30 is an all-in-one videoconferencing system that combines a built-in camera, widescreen 17.1-inch WXGA LCD, speakers and a microphone in one compact and sleek body. What's more, it even doubles as a PC display. And the unit has a privacy cover that can be closed at times when you prefer not to be seen when a call comes through. The unit also has a height adjustment and swivel mechanism so that it can be adjusted for optimal viewing. And because the unit meets VESA standards for mounting on a bracket, it can be installed in a way that maximizes desktop workspace. With a built-in Ethernet interface, the PCS-TL30 can be configured by simply plugging it into a LAN and making a few quick settings on its intuitive setup menu. The PCS-TL30 supports data-transfer rates of up to 2 Mb/s over IP networks (H.323), making high quality videoconferencing possible. The PCS-TL30 was thoughtfully designed with an intuitive GUI, utilizing translucent cascading menus and displaying all menu-items on one layer. The PCS-TL30 can be controlled by the supplied mouse, which can be connected to the PCS-TL30 directly. The mouse can also be used to control a PC by connecting a separate cable between the PCS-TL30 and the PC. For ease of use, text messages are displayed at the bottom of the screen as a guide. And the intuitive icons make it quick and easy to change display layouts, capture images, and place calls. A unique feature of the PCS-TL30 is one-click dialing, which allows you to easily connect to any of your listed contacts with a click on the screen. By preprogramming your contact information, picture icons and contact names will appear at the left side of the main menu. Up to 30 contacts for one-touch dialing can be flagged from a maximum of 300 registered contacts.
