Sony Electronics of Park Ridge, NJ, unveiled a new addition to its line of telemedicine systems at April's American Telemedicine Association show. Contact, the company's new set-top system, weighs about 6.5 pounds and can be used with any NTSC monitor. The unit has a dockable pan/tilt/zoom camera, as well as autotracking motion detection, automatic back light compensation, auto focus, a built-in 12x zoom lens, and resolution of more than 460 TV lines. Contact is H.320-compliant, and Sony plans to bring H.323 capability to the unit in October. The unit features an optional wireless document station, PCS-DS150. Sony will sell the system for under $5,000.
