PCS-G70/G70P/G50/G50P

Other Precautions

You cannot perform the following PCS-G50/G70 functions when connected to a network camera (even

between videoconferencing terminals):

.

Sending/receiving a presentation image

.

Sending dual video

.

Sending a still image

.

Encrypted conference

.

Cascade connection

For the reasons outlined below, do not connect to network cameras used for monitoring. It is recommend-

ed that network cameras be installed exclusively for videoconferencing.

.

The PCS-G50/G70 does not support JPEG. JPEG recording may stop when the PCS-G50/G70 is

connected to a monitoring system where Sony Recorder Software (RealShot Manager, IMZ series),

Sony Network Recorder (NSR series), etc. is used.

.

Connecting a video communication terminal to a network camera used for fixed monitoring and far-end

controlling may result in a loss of monitoring information.

When the SNC-RX550N/RX550P is installed on a desktop, the video image will be displayed upside

down. The PCS-G50/G70 has no vertical flip function.
