The Vaddio™ CeilingVIEW HD CCU (Figure 1) is a high
definition ceiling Document Camera designed for use with high
definition videoconferencing codecs, HD monitors and
presentation applications where image quality and resolution
are critical. The CeilingVIEW HD CCU can be configured for
16:9 HD CCU resolutions of 1080i or 720p when using the
analog component video outputs (Y/Pb/Pr), or with 4:3 standard
definition video with Y/C and composite video outputs.
Equipped with a 10X optical motorized zoom lens and 12X
digital zoom range, the camera has a 120X total zoom
capability. The 1/3” CMOS image sensor has approximately 2million pixels and provides precise edge focus. The heart of the
CCU system is its ability to adjust red and blue gain, aperture,
as well as iris and gain of the Camera Module.
Vaddio’s active cabling system uses high speed differential signaling (HSDS) for the video signals from the
camera module to the Quick-Connect™ CV HD/SD interface as opposed to baluns. HSDS gives this system
high definition or standard definition video capability, superior video quality over CAT-5 cabling and the ability
to adjust the video signal depending on the length of the cabling used. The EZCamera series cabling system
delivers either high definition or standard definition video up to 400 feet over standard CAT-5 cable. The
Quick-Connect CCU connects directly to the RS-232 port on the Camera Module. RS-232 from an external
device, such as Vaddio’s ProductionVIEW HD, or an external control system can be used in-line with
CeilingVIEW HD CCU.
The CeilingVIEW HD CCU is unmatched for price and performance as compared to other ceiling mounted
document cameras available today.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The CeilingVIEW HD CCU Document Camera is an integrated document/object camera specifically
designed for installation in a suspended ceiling tile above a conference table, lectern or work surface.
Recommended ceiling height range is between 8’ and 12’ (2.44m to 3.66m).
Before Starting the Installation
•IMPORTANT NOTE: Please review Figure 5 closely. The Quick-Connect CCU for the CeilingVIEW
document cameras utilizes only the ports shown in the figure. All Power for the Camera Module, as
well as video returned from the Camera Module is delivered via the Quick-Connect CV HD/SD, also
shown in the picture.
• Before starting the installation of the CeilingVIEW HD CCU Document Camera, check above the
ceiling where you plan to install the camera and make sure the area is clear of obstructions and
confirm that there is adequate room for the camera enclosure.
•When terminating your CAT-5 cabling, make sure that you test each cable for proper termination of
all ends with a CAT-5 continuity tester.
• All above-ceiling work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified
personnel.
• The camera module enclosure and tile support rails allow for superior flexibility and positioning
freedom when used with 2’x2’ and 2’x4’ ceiling tiles. The camera does not have to be mounted in
the center of the tile.
• For cutting ease, remove the ceiling tile and place on a suitable and safe work surface.
• Because the Quick-Connect CCU is an in-line device, the CeilingVIEW HD CCU camera system is
not compatible with daisy-chain configurations. You must have a dedicated RS-232 control port
connected to the Quick-Connect CCU.

Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions:
1. Attach a string or plumb bob to the ceiling tile with a thumbtack.
2. Position the string directly over the table or work surface to allow easy document and object
positioning.
3. Using a sharp utility knife, score a 5-3/4” diameter circle into the front of the tile centered on the string.
4. Carefully cut out the 5-3/4” hole.
5. Place the tile support rails on the backside of the tile and center over the hole. Carefully place camera
into the cutout hole from the back of tile (see Figure 3).

7. Two CAT-5 cables (plenum rated as building codes dictate) are run from the ceiling location where the
camera is mounted, to where the Quick-Connect Box is located near the main rack or head-end
equipment. Either HD analog component (Y, Pb, Pr) or SD composite and Y/C are active.
Connections on the CeilingVIEW HD CCU are shown in Figure 5.
NOTE: If you are terminating your own CAT-5 cables, make sure to test all cables with a continuity
tester to confirm proper pin-outs.
8. Next, connect the Power/Video CAT-5 cable from the Quick-Connect CV HD/SD box to the CAT-5
cable that is connected to the Power-Video port on the Camera Enclosure in the ceiling (see Figure 5).
The Quick-Connect CV HD/SD provides power to the camera, as well as delivers video back from the
camera module. Note: The Quick-Connect CV HD/SD uses a 24VDC power supply and the QuickConnect CCU uses a 36VDC power supply.
9. For RS-232 control, connect the CAT-5 cable to the Camera Enclosure, and then the other end of the
CAT-5 cable to the RS-232 output on the Quick-Connect CCU (see Figure 5). If there is an external
RS-232 controller (e.g. Vaddio’s ProductionVIEW HD, or a control system such as Crestron or AMX,
etc.) then connect a CAT-5 cable between that external controller and the RS-232 Input on the back of
the Quick-Connect CCU. An RJ-45 to DB-9 connector is supplied for DB-9 RS-232 ports.
10. NOTE: The Quick-Connect CCU will only send RS-232 commandsto the camera’s image sensor. All
zoom and zoom preset commands are handled by an external controller or IR remote controls that are
compatible with CeilingVIEW HD. Pressing CCU Control on the front panel of the CCU allows the
user to adjust all of the knobs and controls on the front panel. Pressing CCU control again, allows RS232 commands from an external control system (e.g. ProductionVIEW HD, AMX, Crestron, etc.) to
pass through to the Camera Module.
11. To finish the installation, the camera and ceiling tile should be carefully replaced in the suspended
ceiling at this time. Carefully move the trim ring into position on the bottom of the ceiling tile and
secure with the two supplied white screws.
12. With the CAT-5 cabling connected to the proper ports at both the Camera Enclosure and QuickConnect CV HD/SD interface, review the dip switch settings (Figure 6) and set the camera to output
the desired signal. Connect the Vaddio PowerRite power supply. Plug the AC cord into an outlet.
The camera zoom will home into position and the video output (either HD component or SD composite
and Y/C as selected with the dip switch settings) signals will be live and viewable after the camera is
fully initialized. To change the output resolution or any dip switch setting, first unplug the power
supply, change the dipswitch setting and re-power the Quick-Connect CV HD/SD. If using a Polycom
or TANDBERG IR Remote, set dip switches 1 & 2 accordingly to allow momentary laser pointer on the
Tilt Down command.
NOTE: Use of a power supply other than the provided Vaddio power supply for this device will void
the warranty and may cause camera and equipment damage. Make sure that the proper power
supply is connected to the Quick-Connect boxes – they are different voltages.

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 CeilingVIEW Document Cameras.
