Data Conference Using
Data Solution Module
This chapter shows you how to use the optional PCSA-DSM1
Data Solution Module to incorporate the screen display data
of a computer or similar into a videoconference.
The optional PCSA-DSM1 Data Solution Module is designed
for internal installation in the PCS-TL33. It allows sending
the pictures or text data displayed on a computer connected to
the PCS-TL33 to the remote party in a videoconference. You
can also connect a projector to the Data Solution Module and
display a high-resolution computer screen image sent by the
remote party at the local site.
Even if no Data Solution Module is installed or if another
videoconferencing system such as PCS-1/1P, PCS-11/11P,
PCS-TL30, PCS-TL50, PCS-G50/G50P, PCS-G70/G70P,
or PCS-1600 is used, the receiving party can view the
computer images sent from the other party. However, the
quality of the picture received will vary depending on the
components of the system. If the Data Solution Module or
Data Solution Box is installed, a higher frame rate (number
of frames per second) is possible, which allows viewing
high-resolution moving images from a computer. To
display the computer images sent from the other party
during PC mode, press the
(Videoconference) button
on the system and switch to videoconference mode.
For details on picture quality depending on the system
configuration, see “Picture quality of the Data Solution
Module” on page 75.
For details on RGB signal input/output specifications, see
the section “Acceptable RGB Input/Output Signals” on
page 117.
If the position of the received computer image is off center,
switch to PC mode and switch back to videoconference
mode to correct the positioning.
Restrictions on the IP address of the system
when using the Data Solution Module
The IP address available for the PCS-TL33 Video
Communication System is restricted when you use the
PCSA-DSM1 Data Solution Module. Moreover, a network
for communication between the Data Solution Module and
the PCS-TL33 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
Module for communication and the network
mask.
(Unusable IP address for the PCS-TL33) = (IP address of
the PCSA-DSM1) & (Network mask)
The IP address of the PCSA-DSM1 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 Module
When transmitting a signal via the Data Solution Module,
the camera picture quality will be lower owing to the
decreased number of frames.
