Connection to Multiple Sites
The KX-VC1600 lets you hold a multi-site videoconference with people at up to 10 sites
*1 
without 
requiring the purchase of expensive MCUs (Multi-point Connection Units). When combined with 
Panasonic's NAT Traversal Service or HD Visual Communication Mobile (HDVC Mobile) 
software that enables the use of mobile devices for participating in a videoconference, you can 
have effective visual communication without restrictions on time or place.
*1 Option must be purchased. (Refer to "Activation Key" on page 16.)
Flexible holding of multi-site videoconferences
The HDVC System lets you hold a multi-site videoconference at 
virtually any site you choose. Even if the locations of the 
multi-site videoconferences change each time, the 
videoconference can be held using only the equipment at the 
participating sites. The HDVC System allows flexible holding of 
videoconferences.
The KX-VC1600 and KX-VC1300 comply with the H.261, H.263 
and H.264 international video compression standards. 
Therefore, they can connect to older product models 
manufactured by different companies as long as they comply 
with those standards. This allows phased system expansion 
while using existing videoconference equipment.
Connection to offices and clients
Because the HDVC System can connect via intranet/VPN and 
Internet simultaneously, it is easy to configure a videoconference 
system connected to sites inside and outside your company. The 
HDVC System can be used to hold videoconferences with clients 
without a large investment in equipment.
Participation in videoconferences 
using mobile devices 
You can join a videoconference from a location outside of the 
office, while you are on the go, or from your own home using a 
Windows/iOS/Android™ mobile device. The HDVC System provides 
effective visual communication without restrictions on time or 
place. (HDVC Mobile will be released in December 2014.) 
Optimum screen layout
The HDVC System comes with a function that lets you choose a screen layout from a 
variety of options. For instance, you can select a screen layout to show all participating 
sites or to display the site with a high voice level in a large window (Window 1 in the 
layouts shown below). The most suitable screen layout can be selected according to the 
type of videoconference held.
The screen layout changes automatically according to the number of connection sites.
* Positions of windows displaying sites are determined by the connecting order.
