WallVIEW CCU HD1
Quick-Connect CCU Front Panel Controls (left to right):
Tally Light:
The blue LED tally light on the front panel is tied to the tally contacts on the rear panel allowing the user to
easily track which camera interface is being used in a multi-camera system by supplying a simple contact
closure (i.e. from ProductionVIEW Super Joystick or ProductionVIEW HD).
LCD Display:
Backlit (blue) display indicates which mode is active (CCU CONTROL or PTZ CONTROL) and the value of
the parameter being adjusted. In CCU CONTROL mode, when a rotary encoder is touched, the name of the
control being actuated and the value of that assigned parameter will be displayed.
CCU Control Switch:
Backlit (blue) SPDT switch, lit when activated, blocks the incoming PTZ controls on the RS-232 input and
allows the end user to make adjustments to the camera image characteristics. When off or deactivated, PTZ
information is throughput to the camera and the front panel controls of the QCCU are deactivated to avoid a
control issue or latency created by a master control string filtering program.
Scene A and B:
Two camera adjustment scenes (A & B) can be stored into microprocessor memory. When lit (backlit blue
SPDT switch), the scene is activated. To store a scene, the user adjusts the camera to taste and touches
and holds the scene button down until the button blinks.
Red Gain Control:
The Red Gain encoder adjusts the red gain of the signal when AWB is disengaged.
Blue Gain Control:
The Blue Gain encoder adjusts the blue gain of the signal when AWB is disengaged.
AWB:
The Automatic White Balance controls/adjusts the color levels automatically when engaged. Turn off AWB
to manually adjust the Red and Blue levels.
OPWB:
One-Push White Balance control allows the user to set the white balance with one push (the camera must
see 60% of the image as white in order to operate). OPWB overrides AWB and Red/Blue controls when
activated.
Aperture:
The Aperture control sharpens the image and adds detail to the edges of objects in the frame. When text is
the subject matter, the Aperture control can help sharpen the image.
Auto Iris:
The Auto Iris mode automatically adjusts the iris and gain of the camera. To manually adjust the iris or gain,
turn off this control.
Manual Iris:
The manual iris control allows the user to set the iris manual to one of the 18 settings available.
Gain:
The Gain control adjusts the overall gain of the camera. To manually adjust the gain Auto Iris must be off.
Unused Rotary Encoders:
There are three (3) unused encoders on the front panel for the EVI-HD1 and BRC-300 PTZ cameras.

WallVIEW CCU HD1
INSTALLATION
All WallVIEW products are specifically designed for installation on a vertical wall surface with Cat. 5 cable
connectivity for Power, Video and Control signaling. Installation is simplified in that no custom 8-Pin mini-din
cables or expensive S-Video plenum cables are needed and no power outlets are required near the camera
bracket. All cabling is routed to the head-end using Cat-5 cables.
Before Installing
Find the appropriate camera mounting location, paying close attention to camera viewing angles, lighting
conditions, possible line of site obstructions, and checking for in-wall obstructions where the camera is to
be mounted. Pick a mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera.
Pre-wire all cabling as required (see wiring diagram examples).
The Thin Profile Wall Mount for the WallVIEW CCU HD1 can be mounted directly to a 2-gang wall box or
can be mounted to drywall using four dry wall anchors.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
After determining the optimum location of the camera system, mark locations for the four screw holes and
cable pass-thru (vertical oval). Install the drywall mounts and cut the hole for the cable pass-thru. At this
point, do not install the Wall Mount.
Figure 3:
Thin Profile Wall Mount with oval cable feedthrough hole. The wall mount may be mounted
directly to a 2-gang wall box or to drywall with the
appropriate wall anchors.
Step 2:
Install the wall mounting hardware, unless installation will be to a 2-gang electrical box.
Figure 4:

Mount (right)
Step 3:
Take the Wall Mount, and place it against the drywall anchors or 2-gang wall box, making sure to pull the Cat.
5 cables through the oval pass-through hole. Finger-tighten the screws down to the mount and confirm that
the base is level. Tighten the screws down firmly once the wall mount is level. If the bracket is to be
mounted on a 2-gang wall box, use the screws supplied with the electrical box.
WallVIEW CCU HD1 Installation and User Guide 341-719 Rev. D Page 5 of 12
WallVIEW CCU HD1
Step 4:
Confirm that the Cat. 5 cables are terminated correctly, by testing them with a continuity tester. Next, take
the EZIM, with break-out cable connected to the 25-pin connector and fasten it to the wall mount with the
supplied screws Secure the camera to the mount and with the ¼”-20 screw.
Step 5:
Plug the Cat. 5e cables to the appropriate ports on the EZIM.
Step 6:
The Quick-Connect CCU is a 1-RU rack mount interface that breaks out the signals from the Cat. 5 cables
back to the standard connectors. The basic system connectivity is illustrated in Figure 2.
Note: Plugging the POWER CAT-5 Cable into the wrong RJ-45 may cause damage to the camera system and
void the warranty.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:
Connect the Vaddio 36 VDC power supply to an AC outlet. Power will travel down the Power Cat. 5 cable to
the cable shoe, powering the camera. The camera will “Home” to a centered position ready for control
information from the provided IR Remote Commander or RS-232 Camera controller of the integrators’ choice.
To insure proper continuity of control and operation of the cameras, the RS-232 controller (control system or
joystick) should be powered on after the camera.
Connecting the Tally Port (optional):
The CCU system is capable of illuminating a Tally light on the front of the 1 RU Quick-Connect enclosure.
This light provides a visual indicator to the equipment operator to know which camera is live during a
broadcast. In addition, on the BRC-300, BRC-Z700 and BRC-H700, the tally function will illuminate the tally
light on the front of the camera lens, to allow the presenter to know which camera is live.
