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.

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.

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

WallVIEW CCU Z330
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 VGA 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 Z330 can be mounted directly to a 3-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 3-gang wall box or to drywall with
the appropriate wall anchors.
Note: Z330 Wall Mount looks slightly different.
Step 2:
Connect the 25-pin cable to the EZIM CCU. Next, mount the EZIM CCU and break out cable in the base of
the wall mount, using the two tapped screw holes (see Figure 4).
Figure 4:

EZIM CCU (left) and EZIM
CCU mounted to the Wall
Mount (right).
WallVIEW CCU Z330 Installation and User Guide 341-906 Rev. A Page 5 of 12
WallVIEW CCU Z330
Step 4:
Take the Wall Mount, with the EZIM CCU and break out cable installed, and place it against the drywall
anchors or 3-gang wall box, making sure to pull the CAT-5 cables through the oval pass-through hole.
Finger-tighten the screws to the mount and confirm that the base is level. Tighten the screws firmly. If the
bracket is to be mounted on a 3-gang wall box, use the screws supplied with the electrical box.
Step 5:
Confirm that the CAT-5 cables are terminated correctly, by testing them with a continuity tester. Next,
connect the break out cables to the appropriate ports on the BRC-Z330 (8-pin Mini DIN is connected to
VISCA IN). Secure the camera to the mount and using the ¼”-20 screws.
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 EZIM, 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 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 Series PTZ cameras, 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.
