Encrypted
Videoconference via LAN
When confidentiality is required for a videoconference or
a videoconference is held via the Internet, the Video
Communication System enables transmission and
reception of encrypted video, audio, and data. Conducting
a videoconference using this feature is known as an
encrypted videoconference via LAN.
This chapter describes how to conduct an encrypted
videoconference via LAN.
The capability to conduct an encrypted videoconference
via LAN is available only when using two PCS-TL33
units, or when the remote party uses a Sony Video
Communication System PCS-1/1P, PCS-11/11P,
PCS-TL30, PCS-TL50, PCS-G50/G50P, or PCS-G70/
G70P, or when the remote party uses videoconferencing
equipment from other manufacturers supporting H.235
encryption.
The encryption feature can also be used in multipoint
videoconference using LAN connection (including
cascade connection via LAN).
In an encrypted conference only video signals, audio
signals, and computer picture data are encrypted. Camera
control signals (for controlling the remote party’s camera)
will not be encrypted.
