Problem Try this

No video image

The IR remote control
does not work

Can’t see an entire
drawing/page clearly
on the video screen.

Verify that the Cat. 5 is connected between the RJ-45 jack on
the back of the camera module enclosure and the RF-45 jack
on the back of the wall plate.

Make sure the provided 15 VDC power supply is plugged
into a wall outlet and the 15 VDC jack on the wall plate.

Check the S-video or composite cables to verify they are properly
connected, ensure video display device is powered and make
sure the display device is set to the correct video source

Verify fresh batteries are installed and positioned correctly.

Remove power supply plug from the 15 VDC jack on the wall
plate. Wait a few seconds and reinsert the power supply plug.

When large documents, such as blueprints, are being viewed,
the smallest details may not appear perfectly. The resolution
only allows zoomed in images to be clear. However, in viewing
normal size documents, details should be clear.

Viewing areas

Viewing area depends on the distance between the ceiling and the table. Use the
following tables to determine the maximum and minimum viewing areas of the Ceiling
DocCam™ II for distances of 5.5', 6.5' and 7.5'. (Most tables are about 2.5' and ceiling
heights vary between 8', 9' and 10'). If the distance differs from the examples given,
use the table to estimate the viewing area.

Custom cable information

If you need a longer cable, for best
performance use a Cat. 5E or Cat. 6 cable
with a 200' maximum and 24 AWG. Use the
following pinouts for the Cat. 5 or Cat. 6 cable

Operation

Using your codec remote

The only function you can control on the Ceiling DocCam™ II from your codec remote is the
zoom in or zoom out. All other functions must be performed using the Ken-A-Vision®remote.

Using your Ken-A-Vision remote

The Ken-A-Vision remote will function in all DIP switch configurations. Please refer to
Figure 4 on page 6 for a complete list of remote buttons.

To zoom

1. Press the Zoom Out button to view large
documents.

2. Press the Zoom In button to view
documents up close

Note: When the zoom indicator passes
the divider on the display bar, the camera
moves from optical zoom to digital zoom.
Optical zoom uses the optical lens to
enlarge the image. Digital zoom crops
a small section of the picture and then
enlarges it to screen size. This can leave
the zoomed in image looking pixilated.

1. Press the Auto Focus button to
automatically focus the camera.

2. Press the Focus Far button to manually focus a zoomed out view.

3. Press the Focus Near button to manually focus a zoomed in view.

To use the camera laser

1. Press the Cam Laser button.

2. Center document under laser.

The camera laser will turn off automatically after 5 seconds.

on-screen image.
