VERVIEW
The extraordinary Vaddio™ ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Conferencing
Camera system includes many of the features that you would expect
out of a professional PTZ camera, plus much more! The ClearVIEW
HD-USB is the world’s first broadcast-quality HD PTZ camera with
USB 2.0 output, Ethernet streaming and analog component (YPbPr)
outputs built right into the camera. Simply plug the HD-USB camera
directly into your PC and there is no need for a separate capture
device. The ClearVIEW HD-USB uses standard USB 2.0 UVC drivers
and no special USB drivers require installation. As a result the HDUSB camera works seamlessly with any software application running
on any OS that supports USB 2.0 devices. All this, and the ClearVIEW
HD-USB PTZ cameras are made in the USA
The ClearVIEW HD-USB combines impressive performance with an
equally impressive feature set. Using the UVC standard drivers for
USB 2.0 video, the HD-USB camera is a plug and play PTZ camera for
Unified Communications soft client conferencing systems such as
Skype®, Google+, Jabber® and Lync®, which offers a vast
improvement over the “inexpensive webcam” systems available
today.
.
The HD-USB is a high definition conferencing camera suitable for the small, medium or even the largest
conferencing space available. The HD Zoom lens allows HD-USB to capture a wide angle of view (58.1°) to view
everyone at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2°) in a larger room.
:
The HD-USB PTZ Camera will be released with two (2) major software releases and several intermediate
releases. Release 1.0 will allow USB 2.0 streaming and with the following Release 2.0 software, the ClearVIEW
HD-USB will also support H.264 video streaming. It has a built in Ethernet network interface where both IP control
and IP streaming can be initiated directly from the camera. It will support either RTSP or HLS streaming protocols.
The software is easily upgradeable in the field.
The motorized zoom lens offers 19X optical zoom and is built around a 1/3-Type Sony® Exmor, progressive scan,
high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor with a total of 1.3 Megapixels for precise and vibrant HD color video
images. The HD-USB achieves improved picture quality even in low light environments requiring a minimum
illumination rated at an amazingly low 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE).
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 device 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. Do not connect Ethernet or
Power over Ethernet (POE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may result.
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 w ork
well for professional installations and can be the cause o f intermittent connections which can result in
the RS-232 control line failing and/or locking up. For best results please use standard RJ-45
connectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.

Connectors and Functions (continued)
5) YPbPr Output:
Component HD video is fed through the DE-15 connector (HD-15 for the shell sized challenged). YPbPr and
Composite signals are simultaneous. Note: This is an HD camera and the SD signals are down converted and
are really not the sweet spot of this camera. This is a courtesy feature only.
6) Composite Video (CVBS) Output:
The CVBS output feeds out SD video signals and is configurable with the dip switches to choose between
480i/NTSC or 576i/PAL in 4:3 formats. Squeeze and letterbox modes are also available (see dip switches).
7) EZ Power/Video Port:
This RJ-45 connector is only used with the Quick-Connect SR Interface and the Quick-Connect DVI-D/HDMI SR
Interface to supply power and return HSDS (high speed differential signaling) video from the camera.
8) 5 VDC Output:
The 5 VDC output is on an EIAJ-03 connector was added to supply power to the active Extreme USB Extender
transmitter side. The receiver side is powered by the computer’s USB port or powered USB Hub.
9) USB 2.0 Connector:
The USB 2.0 is on a type-B Female and attaches to a PC running a soft-client video conferencing system or
video capture software that uses UVC (USB Video Class) standard drivers. No other drivers are required to plug
the HD-USB into a computer and have it work. The UVC drivers will auto negotiate the top resolution that the PC
and HD-USB Camera can accomplish together and auto implement it, and bob’s your uncle.
10) Settings Rotary Encoder:
The settings encoder is provided essentially for future use. The only position that is currently assigned and used
is position “C”. This position allows the user to reset the camera back to factory defaults when the camera is
power cycled in the “C” position.
11) Ethernet 10/100 Port (H.264 Streaming Active with Software Release 2.0):
The network port has green and yellow LEDs that indicate ready and usage states. The port allows for access to
the internal web pages for camera set-up and control. The network port will stream (unicast) H.264/MPEG4/AVC
video (from CIF up to and including 1080p/30) in Release 2.0.
12) RS-232 Port:
The RS-232 Port allows external control systems to engage a rudimentary API. Basic functions include pan, tilt
zoom, on/off etc. The functions on the Vaddio IR Remote Commander are mirrored in the API. Most control is
expected to come from the internal web page via Ethernet, Telnet or over USB 2.0.
13) Permanent USB Resource Slot Card:
The lower row of connectors and the brains of the HD-USB Camera are located on this permanent slot card. The
card is not removable and is not compatible with any other Vaddio camera. Please do not try to remove this card
at any time.
FIRST TIME SET-UP WITH THE CLEARVIEW HD-USB PTZ CAMERA
The ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Camera was designed to be exceptionally
easy to use and operate. There is documentation at the back of the
manual for pin-outs. These pin-outs are also available, along with
application TechNotes, from the Vaddio website www.vaddio.com.

Step 2: For the best USB 2.0 video, set the HD VIDEO SELECT switch to “0” (720p/59.94) on the HD-USB
Camera. All resolutions are derived from 720p. The USB 2.0 processor can accept rotary positions 0 through 6,
but please be aware that if 1080p/60 is scaled down to 320 x 180, well…the image will look much better if the PC
scales from 720p than 1080p (see note below).
For concurrent USB 2.0 and Analog C omponent (YPbPr), switch settings 0 through 6 are the resoluti ons that can be both

Please Note: When using 1080p as the input, very low USB 2.0 resolutions such as 352 x 240 and 320 x 180 will either not look so
good, won’t work or the user may wish they didn’t work due to how far the signal is scaled/smashed down by the PC from t he
original input. Please use 720p or position “0” for the lower resolutions. Always start from a HD resolution closest to what the UC
client wants to send and display.

formatted by dip switches 5, 6 and 7.
Step 3: Choose the IR frequency (1, 2 or 3) on the camera for use with the IR Remote Commander. Since only
one USB camera can be plugged into a PC at a time, recommended default is Freq. 1 (dip switches 1 & 2 up).
Step 4: Leave the IR out OFF (up) as default.
Step 5: Use 9600bps for control speed as default.
If the camera is mounted inverted, then set the Image Flip to ON, otherwise leave it off.
The test bars are really, really, totally non-standard (horizontal - just to mess with the old-timers) and will
override the video output. These test bars are 75% IRE. Use the test bars for…testing.

For Release 1.2.0 of the Camera and Software, only the USB 2.0 Streaming Video is Active:
The H.264 will follow in Release 2.0, so for now it is recommended to put the Rotary Selection Switch on the USB
Resource Card to position “0”. The documentation will be updated with the extra pages to explain the H.264 setup in a reliably and fairly competent manner.
Position “0” on the HD video select, will give the camera the ability to auto-negotiate with the host PC and
automatically decide the highest resolution (MJPEG video up to and including 720p/30) that the computer and UC
client/application can accept, display and process within the application software (not provided). In the future the
Operating systems will be able to process 1080p/30 using H.264, USB 3.0 UVC (USB Video Class) drivers. But
for now MJPEG video at 720p/30 is the limit of USB 2.0.
The HD-USB camera uses UVC drivers and does not require the loading of any other drivers to run on the PC.
As long as the operating systems and soft-client software support UVC drivers, no additional software, other than
the application, is required.

ClearVIEW HD-USB Conferencing Camera
Internal Web Pages and Control:
The internal web pages will allow control of the HD-USB and allow the user to control the
camera via an internet connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to
set security passwords, change the IP address if not dynamic, view diagnostics, access the
firmware upgrade page and more.
To access the HD-USB’s web pages, first include your Network Administrator for the
network that the camera will be placed. Access to the internal web pages can be achieved
three ways for set-up of the HD-USB’s IP address and other administrative functions.
DHCP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP).
If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server,
then the IP address, gateway and routing information will
automatically be assigned. The HD-USB software is defaulted to
DHCP.
The HD-USB will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using
DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no
DHCP server can be found.
To display the HD-USB’s IP Address:
1) Plug in the camera and let it go through the boot up procedure.
The IP Address will be displayed at the top and middle of the
screen for 15 seconds and then automatically turns off.
To see the IP address for a longer than the 15 seconds at boot up, then…
2) Pick up the Vaddio IR Remote Commander and find the Data Screen button.
3) Press and hold the Data Screen button on the remote for 4 seconds.
4) The IP Address will appear on the display. The system is capable of
displaying and address up to 15 characters arranged in the format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default static IP address for the HD-USB camera is
169.254.1.1.
5) To turn off the IP Address display, press and hold the Data Screen button
for 4 more seconds or until the IP Address turns off.
Displaying the IP address for the network administrator is advantageous especially in
a network that is DHCP. It makes it easier to find the camera on the network and
assign addresses permanently within the DHCP protocol. Whatever protocols are
used, always have the network administrators available when attaching the Vaddio
HD-USB camera to the Ethernet network.
Notes:
The Data screen button is also used for the Camera’s on-screen display
where many of the camera’s parameters can be set. It is easy to tell the
difference between these modes as one quick touch enters the OSD for
the camera and a four second press and hold displays the web address
and turns off the web address display.
The IP Address will be displayed on screen out of the composite video,
analog component video (YPbPr) and the USB output. It will display at
the top, middle of the screen to ensure that older 4:3 displays can show
the address as well as the prevalent 16:9 monitors.

ClearVIEW HD-USB Conferencing Camera
Static IP Set-up:
It is highly recommended that the Network Administrator and/or network personnel are involved
on the Static IP set-up of the HD-USB camera. Please do not try to set the Static IP of the
camera without help from network personnel…please?
The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable.
Depending on the age of the computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same
for network or direct connect to a computer.
The default address of the HD-USB camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different
computer OS types all have their own way of doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the
same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the HD-USB are accessible.
Examples (directly connected to a computer for set-up):
For Windows XP Pro, the routine to get to the network settings is fairly simple. Click on the Start button > Control
Panels > Network Connections > Right Click Local Area Connection > click on Properties > click on Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) > click on Properties and IP Address and Subnet Mask numbers are displayed. It is best to
record the addresses that are in the computer so they can be re-assigned when the operation is finished. Enter
169.254.1.2 (which is the default address 169.254.1.1 plus 1) and Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 and click OK > and
then OK again. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Chrome) and enter http://169.254.1.1 and the
Log-in page will appear.
With Apple OS X (10.7 and above), the steps are a bit different but essentially the same…Go to > System
Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Configure IPv4: Manually > Enter in 169.254.1.2 and Subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 and click Apply. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Safari) and enter http://169.254.1.1
and the Log-in page will appear.
Windows 7 has its own set-up that is a bit different from Windows XP Pro, but similar in that the whole purpose of
the Static IP first time set up is to give the HD-USB PTZ Camera an address that can be used over and over
again by users or administrators to control the camera.
LOGIN Page:
The Login Page will appear if there
is a user name assigned by the
administrator.
Assigning a user name can limit
access to the admin menus by a
general user.
Initially, no user name is assigned
and the password is: password
If no user name is assigned, the

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO THE PROGRAM OF CHOICE:
The HD-USB PTZ Camera is compatible with many programs and media players. The following is an attempt to
generally describe the steps to plug in the HD-USB camera and get an image.
Skype Example:
1) First, with a quality USB 2.0 cable, plug the USB-B port of the camera to the
USB-A port of the computer. A pop up window on the computer monitor will
display the following:
a. Found ClearVIEW HD-USB
b. Found USB Composite Device
c. Found USB Video Device
2) Open Skype and perform the following steps:
a. Open the Tools Menu and drop down to Options
b. Click on Video Settings and under Webcam choose USB Video Device
The systems will negotiate the highest resolutions possible, depending on the computer speed, network quality,
cabling etc..., and display the video signal of the camera. The camera can be controlled with the supplied Vaddio
IR Remote Commander or through IP as described earlier through the cameras web pages. Make a test call to
ensure the system is working properly.
ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Conferencing Camera Document Number 342-0437 Rev. B Page 20 of 32
ClearVIEW HD-USB Conferencing Camera
VLC Media Player Example:
1) Same first step as above.
2) Open VLC Media Player and perform the following steps:
a. Click on the Media menu and drop down to Open Capture Device and click it.
b. Under Device Name, go to the Video Device Name drop down and choose USB Video Device.
c. Under Options, enter the Video Size as 1280x720
d. Click on Play
e. From there, VLC needs some instruction on the aspect ratio, so click on Tools and drop down to
Aspect Ratio and drop down again to 16:9 for 720p (1280x720).
VLC is a powerful record/playback system and buffers the images so you will notice some delay in the way VLC
displays the image.
In General Terms…
With all the compatible software available, in general terms, the video device, aspect ratio, and resolution may
need to be set manually the first time through initial set-up. Some systems are easier than others (like Skype)
and others are more technical in nature and tend to do more stuff.

PPENDIX 2 - TELNET SERIAL COMMAND
API
The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is a high level text based command line interface supported via telnet
session on the ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Camera. The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is not supported on the
RS-232 port. The RS-232 port is dedicated for VISCA commands only. The command application protocol
interface is intended to allow external device such as AMX and Crestron to control the camera. The protocol is
based upon ASCII format following the VT100 terminal emulation standard and uses an intuitive textual
command nomenclature for ease of use. The API is accessed by a telnet client on the Ethernet port. All ASCII
characters will be echoed to terminal program and appended with VT100 string -ESC[J (HEX- 1B 5B 4A).
Vaddio Command lines are terminated on carriage return. After the carriage return, the VT100 appends with –
ESC[J. (Note: Most terminal programs automatically strip the VT100 string.) General format usage follows a
get/set structure. Usage examples for each type are:
Set Example
COMMAND: > camera pan right
RESPONSE: > OK
Get Example
COMMAND: > stream mode get
RESPONSE: > streaming mode usb
Syntax Error Example
COMMAND: > camra pan right
RESPONSE: > ERROR
Additional programming controls associated with the terminal protocol includes:
CTRL 5 - Clears the current serial buffer on the device.
Telnet sessions will require access verification and uses the same username and password associated with the
Administrator account on the embedded web server. The default Telnet Port is 23. Command lines are
terminated with carriage return.
