Squiggle Overview:
With Squiggle, your whiteboard notes are now available for the world
to see. Installed alongside just about any existing whiteboard, the
Squiggle converts your whiteboard notes into an HD or SD video
signal that can be connected to any live video input device, such as
a videoconferencing system, video mixer or even an HD video
recording system. This same video content can also be captured
with the One-Touch Image Save Button which saves the whiteboard
video image to a USB flash drive as a JPEG file.
The Squiggle is based on the same revolutionary concept of the
Squiggle Board video whiteboard system and uses the same patent
pending technology including the Squiggle Quick-Connect™,
ultrasonic pen sleeves, Cat-5e USB/power extension (up to
100’/30.5m) and Digital Control Panel with IR & ultrasonic sensors.
The Squiggle is a breeze to install and calibrate with the EZTub™
enclosure. Simply center the EZTub enclosure with the left side of
the whiteboard, fasten two (2) screws into the EZTub and snap the
Digital Control Panel into the tub. From there, a single Cat-5e cable
is run from the EZTub to the Squiggle Quick-Connect Interface at the
head-end and then into a video device. A six (6) point calibration
system is used for quick and easy set-up.
The Squiggle Quick-Connect Interface captures the data as it is drawn with the digital marker in real-time sent
from the Digital Control Panel’s pen sensors and outputs high definition DVI-D (HDMI with cable adapter) and
high definition YPbPr analog component video simultaneously at resolutions of 720p/59.94 or 720p/50Hz. The
Quick-Connect can also be switched to standard definition (480i/NTSC and 576i/PAL) instead of HD.
Made in the USA, the Squiggle simply makes any whiteboard into a video whiteboard and further redefines the
concept of the electronic whiteboard for presentation, videoconferencing, distance learning, media retrieval and
on-line curriculum applications world-wide.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the
one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the camera and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
in-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.
Save These Instructions:
The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and product drawings for the
product line on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from www.vaddio.com

The Digital Control Panel in the EZTub:
The basic system controls on the Digital Control Panel are as follows:
1) Ultra Sonic Sensors (top & bottom):
The ultrasonic sensors (top and bottom) detect the Digital
Marker Sleeve and pen movements on the Whiteboard.
2) One-Touch Image Save Button:
When a flash drive is plugged into the front panel of the
Squiggle Quick-Connect Interface, pressing this button will
save a copy of what has been drawn on the whiteboard as a
1280x720 JPEG image.
3) Erase Button:
To erase all content on the whiteboard video output, simply
press this button. Pressing this button a second time will
recall all video content written on the board from the last time
it was erased, as long as no other pen strokes are recorded.
4) Calibrate Button:
This button allows the user to calibrate the writing area of the
whiteboard.
5) Power Indicator & IR Sensor:
The ring is illuminated when the device is powered on. The
sensor detects IR emitted from the marker sleeve, and
triangulates the marker movements with the ultrasonic
sensors.
6) Pen Width:
The line thickness is adjustable in three (3) line widths (thin,
medium and thick). Line widths can be mixed on any drawing
being displayed on the video output.
7) EZTub Enclosure:
The EZTub enclosure houses the Digital Control Panel.
There is a small PCBA inside the EZTub that terminates the
Digital Control Panel and extends power and data from the
whiteboard to the Squiggle Quick-Connect Interface.
8) Wall Spacers (far right):
The system is equipped with three (3) 1/4” thick wall
spacers which are used to mount the EZTub and Digital
Control Panel as close as possible to coincident with the
whiteboard surface. Some whiteboards may only need
one spacer, some may need all three.

Squiggle Quick-Connect Interface Front Panel (left to right):
1) USB Drive Port: The USB port on the front panel allows the user to plug in any standard FAT32 or Fat16
USB drive to store content written on the whiteboard. Simply press the One-TOUCH Image Save icon on the
Digital Control Panel (see previous page) and the content written on the whiteboard will be saved to the USB
drive. A confirmation of the saved content will be displayed on the video output. All information is saved as a
1280 x 720 JPEG image.
2) Power Indicator / System Reset Button: When the Quick-Connect is turned on, the POWER indicator light
illuminates. It is not a power switch. This button also serves as a SYSTEM RESET button. Pressing the
button will reset the system from boot up.
Rear Panel Connections and Controls (Left to Right):
1) Power Supply Input: 12VDC, 3.0 Amp power supply on a 5.5mm OD x 2.5mm ID connector.
2) Whiteboard RJ-45: Power and data transmitted to and from the video whiteboard via Cat. 5e cabling.
3) Ethernet on RJ-45: Ethernet port is reserved for future use and not active at this time.
4) Settings: The Quick-Connect has a 5-position dip switch for setting HD or SD resolution, refresh rate,
test bars and switches available for future settings.
5) Video Outputs: Three video outputs; DVI-D, YPbPr HD and CVBS (composite), are available on the
Squiggle Quick-Connect Interface.
• The DVI-D and YPbPr outputs are simultaneous outputs and are at a resolution of 720p/59.94 or
720p/50 which allows the Squiggle Board to be connected to a variety of video devices such as
Vaddio switchers/mixers, videoconferencing codecs, monitors and other third-party video devices.
• The SD video can be chosen instead of the HD DVI-D and YPbPr outputs and output SD resolutions
of 480i/NTSC and 576i/PAL.
NOTE: If the SD composite video output is chosen instead of the HD outputs, a dip switch setting is
changed to allow the SD output to be active. The HD outputs are not active when the SD video is
chosen with the dip switch. Conversely, the SD video out is not active when the HD video is chosen.
