WALLVIEW™ CCU Z330 WITH HSDS™

Featuring the Quick-Connect™ CCU for the
Sony® BRC-Z330 PTZ Camera

OVERVIEW

The Vaddio WallVIEW CCU Z330 (Figure 1) is built for use with the
Sony BRC-Z330 high definition PTZ Camera. The WallVIEW CCU
Z330 allows the user to control the color output of the camera’s image
sensor, through both Red and Blue Gain knobs, Detail, as well as Iris
and Gain levels, to provide a higher quality image. In addition, there
are also Red, Green and Blue Enhance adjustments for added fine­tuning of the cameras image. The system uses high speed
differential signaling (HSDS), an active transmission system that
delivers low-loss, high-quality video over CAT-5 cabling distances up
to 500 feet.
The WallVIEW CCU Z330 system is capable of high definition (HD) 1080i or 720p component video and has
a simultaneous SD composite video output in a variety of screen configurations. The BRC-Z330 is capable
of either NTSC or PAL formats.

Figure 2: The WallVIEW CCU System uses a Cat. 5 (all 4-pairs) for power to ensure the motors receive the required
current to operate properly. The Video Cat. 5 cable uses all four pairs for video. The RS-232 Cat. 5 provides
communication to the camera for CCU and PTZ control and G/L (where applicable) to the camera. These Cat. 5
cables can be run up to 500’ (152.4m). See Appendix 1 for wiring and pin-out information. NOTE: A direct RS-232
Cat. 5 cable is required for each Quick-Connect CCU and camera. Daisy-Chain configurations are not supported with
Quick-Connect CCU.

WallVIEW CCU Z330

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 HD or other Vaddio and third-party systems).

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.

Detail:

The Detail control sharpens or softens objects in the frame.

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, as well as Red, Green and Blue Enhance.

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.

Enhance:

The Red, Green and Blue Enhance controls can make fine adjustments to the color levels when AWB is
disengaged.

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 ad adjust it to any of the preset F-stops.

Gain:

The Gain control adjusts the overall gain of the camera. To manually adjust the gain Auto Iris must be off.

Power Supply Input:

36V 2.78 Amp power supply on a 5.5mm OD x 2.5mm ID connector.

Power on RJ-45:

Power is provided on a Cat. 5 cable to EZIM CCU.

RS-232 IN on RJ-45:

RS-232 Input from ProductionVIEW or PTZ controller. Daisy Chain control is not supported.

RS-232 OUT / G/L Out on RJ-45:

RS-232 and G/L outputs on Cat. 5 provide control and sync to the EZIM CCU. NOTE: See Appendix 1 for
information on adjusting Genlock Gain on the EZIM.

Tally on 2-pin Phoenix type connector:

Contact Closure lights LED on front panel allowing indication of which QCCU/camera combination is active in
a multi-camera/QCCU installation. A VISCA tally command will also be sent to the camera to illuminate the
LED on the camera.

G/L Input on BNC-F:

For use with black burst generators to externally sync the cameras. This input is transmitted through a
differential amplifier to a receiver at the EZIM CCU. The G/L gain adjustment is on the EZIM CCU or the
receive side of the signal.

Camera Feature Switches:

The QCCU interface has an 8-position dip switch on the rear panel to allow future functionality. All switches
should be in the down position.

Y-Gain:

Adjusts Y-Gain and allows the user to fine tune the video signal especially over longer cable lengths. Adjust
to taste and system requirements.

Distance:

Distance Adjustments for Cat. 5 cable (<100’, 200’, 300’, 400’+) equalizes the length of the twisted pairs for
improved video performance.

Video Outputs:

Four Video Signals at any one time can be transmitted from the EZIM CCU concurrently allowing the CCU
system to return HD and SD (composite video on cameras with simultaneous outputs, such as the BRC­Z330) at the same time.

Connector Labels and Supported Video Signals

Y/Y: Y of YPbPr - or - Y (luminance) of Y/C on BNC-F connector
PB/C: PB of YPbPr - or - C (chrominance) of Y/C on BNC-F connector
PR: PR of YPbPr only on BNC-F connector
COMP: Composite (CVBS) Video on BNC-F connector
