Measuring the Network QualityThis section describes how to measure the quality of the network to be used for connection with a remote party.The network quality measurement is possible only when the remote party uses the PCS-HG90. You can measure the network quality in both transmitting and receiving directions before actual connection to assure smooth communication with the remote party.

For details on the network quality measurement setup menu, see the “Network Quality Measurement” screen in the Administrator Setup menu (page 52).

For the network quality measurement, knowledge of the network is necessary. Consult your network administrator or Sony dealer.

Before measurement

On the remote terminal to be measured, make sure that the following are set on the “Other Settings (Page 2/2)” screen of the Administrator Setup menu:Measurement from Remote Site: EnabledTest Port Number: 2253 (default value)

If the usage of ports is restricted, set the port number according to the restriction. For details, consult your network administrator or Sony dealer.

Setting the Transmitting Image QualityThis section describes how to set up the transmitting image quality using the “Transmitting Image Quality” screen of the Video Setup menu.There are five Transmitting Image Quality pages (Page 1/5 to 5/5). Each page allows set-up of the transmitting image quality for each video input.The following illustration shows an example screen of Page 1/5 for HD-SDI 1.

When “Setting Mode” is set to “Auto”, “Motion Smoothing Filter”, “2D Smoothing Filter” and “Frame Rate Control” are automatically set to “Auto” and all three items are automatically adjusted to the optimum value for the selected communication bit rate.When “Setting Mode” is set to “Detailed Setup”, you can set up each item individually. Refer to the following description for setup.

Motion Smoothing FilterThe motion smoothing filter compares the current frame of an input video signal with that of the adjacent frame and smoothes the temporal variation of each pixel. The use of this filter reduces random noise included in the video signal. It is useful when the camera is shooting a dark place, the video signal from the S-VIDEO input is being transmitted or in other situations where random noise may occur easily.The filter is also effective for smoothing picture motion as a consequence of enhanced correlation between frames, as well as improving the coding efficiency. If the filter is activated when the bit rate is the same, block noise will be reduced and the picture quality may be improved. On the other hand, if the intensity of the filter is too much, afterimage may remain at portions where there was motion in the picture, being viewed as a trajectory.

2D (two-dimension) smoothing filterThe 2D smoothing filter smoothes the variation of pixels in one frame of an input video signal. The use of this filter reduces random noise included in the video signal. It is also effective for improving the coding efficiency as a consequence of reduction of high frequency components (detailed picture) in the video signal. If the filter is activated when the bit rate is the same, block noise will be reduced and the picture quality may be improved. On the other

hand, reduction of high frequency components may degrade the resolution and picture details may blur. These effects depend on picture details. Use the 2D smoothing filter when the input video signal is noisy or a videoconference is to be conducted with a lower bit rate.

Frame Rate ControlThe encoder of the Communication Terminal automatically and finely adjusts parameters to control the bit rate. This control normally sets the actual transmission bit rate to the selected communication bit rate. However, the transmission bit rate may exceed the selected bit rate when the communication bit rate is low or with some types of picture details. If “Frame Rate Control” is set to “Bandwidth Limiting Priority”, the Communication Terminal stops the encoder to maintain a transmission bit rate lower than the selected communication bit rate. The encoder restores encoding after a certain period of time has elapsed and data transmission becomes possible, but the bit rate on the receiver side is apparently reduced due to the period without video data transmission.When “Frame Rate Control” is set to “Frame Rate Priority”, priority is given to video transmission at the selected frame rate, allowing the encoder to exceed the selected communication bit rate. The degree of excess allowance depends on the communication bit rate setting or the picture details. Note that a frequent packet loss may occur with the “Frame Rate Priority” setting, especially when you are using a network with a lower bandwidth, as the Communication Terminal tries to transmit data at a bit rate much greater than the selected communication bit rate.

75Setting the Transmitting Image Quality

This chapter describes how to conduct a communication from start to finish after the administrator has completed various registrations and settings for the system.

Notes on placing the PCSA-A7 microphones• Position the microphones about 50 cm (1.6 ft) away from the participants.• When using speakers, do not place them in front of the microphones.

Configuration using the PCSA-A7 microphones

Power is supplied to up to eight microphones connected to the Communication Terminal or the AC adaptor, including cascade connections. However, using the 8-meter microphone cable counts as 4 microphones.Power is not supplied to any connected microphones that exceed this limit. You can add more microphones, by connecting the AC adaptor to the first microphone with no power supply.

• Up to 40 PCSA-A7 microphones can be connected to one port, using a cascade connection.

• The POWER LED turns off on a microphone with no power supply.

The 8-meter microphone cable counts as four microphones, and power is supplied to only the first four microphones. The same is true if the 8-meter microphone cable is used in the middle of the connections.
