ClearVIEW HD-19
p
Overview:
The Vaddio™ ClearVIEW HD-19 high definition integrated
robotic PTZ camera features a 19X optical zoom lens and is
built around a 1/3-Type 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-19 uses an increased pixel aperture size, high signal to
noise and column-parallel A/D conversion method to create
images containing more detail than ever before. It combines
the speed of the CMOS sensor with advanced-quality image
sensor technologies amassed through the development of
CCDs.
The HD-19 achieves improved picture quality even in low light
environments requiring a minimum illumination rated at an
astonishing 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE).
The HD-19 is available in Black and in Arctic White and is equipped with a slip-clutch mechanism for smooth
pan/tilt operation and control. The HD-Zoom lens allows HD-19 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 zoom range provides great flexibility for a wide variety of applications.
The HD-19 outputs HD video (YPbPr at 1080p/60/59.94/50/30/25, 1080i/59.94/50, 720p/59.94/50, 480i/30fps and
576i/25fps) and SD video (CVBS at NTSC and PAL) simultaneously. Overall, the HD-19 is an exceptional camera
for a wide range of HD video applications such as houses of worship, videoconferencing, corporate boardrooms,
live events and distance-learning.
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.
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
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermitten t connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or com promising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
in-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.
Save These Instructions:
The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product
drawings for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from
www.vaddio.com free of charge.

5) RS-232 IN & IR Out:
The RS-232 accepts modified VISCA protocol for camera control, as well as transmits IR signaling received by
the IR receivers, which can be transmitted to third party devices.
6) Dip Switch Settings:
Settings for IR remote, baud rate, SD output format, and image flip can be configured on these switches. See
page 5 for additional information on switch settings.
7) HD Video Select:
A rotary switch allows the user to choose the component HD output video resolution and format. See page 6 for
additional information on switch settings.
8) 12 VDC Input:
Power input for the standard, ClearVIEW HD-19 camera power supply.
9) YPbPr Output:
Component HD video is fed through the DB-15 connector. YPbPr and Composite signals are simultaneous. This
is an HD camera and the SD signals are down converted and are really not the sweet spot of this camera.
9) 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 dipswitches 6&7).
11) 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 video from the camera.
12) Slot for Optional Cards:
Optional slot cards can be plugged into the ClearVIEW HD-19 camera (the HD-SDI and the EZIM CCU Slot Cards
are available).

Set the HD output resolution for the camera with the Rotary Switch.
Set the IR frequency of the camera if it is to respond to the IR remote control.
If using RS-232 for control, leave the IR OUT OFF (SW3) and choose 9600bps for most applications.
If using the IR forwarding feature, turn the IR OUT ON (SW3).
If inverting the camera, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (SW8).
IR 1 & 2: The IR remote has the capability of operating up to three different PTZ cameras from one remote.
Use the selector buttons at the top of the IR remote to select the frequency.
IR Out 3: The IR output is sent out on the RS-232 RJ-45 jack on the back of the camera. Turning on the IR
output will allow IR signals to be transmitted over the CAT-5 cable to the head end. When using RS-232
control or Vaddio CCU controllers (also via RS-232), turn the IR OUT to OFF.
Baud Rate 4: The options for baud rate are either 9600 bps or 38,400 bps. Default is 9600 bps.
SD Format 5: Choose between NTSC or PAL formats
SD Configurations 6 & 7: SD video can be set to standard 4:3, squeeze mode or letterbox mode.
Image Flip 8: To invert the HD-19, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (switch down).
Test Bars 9: Turning on the non-standard test bars will override the camera video output. These non-
standard test bars are 75% IRE.
Switch 10: Leave up - or in the OFF position

Installation Basics:
Locate the 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 that will optimize the performance of the camera.
RS-232 Cabling:
For RS-232, use a standard Cat-5e cable (568B termination for RJ-45 connectors) from the RS-232 port on the
back of a Vaddio ProductionVIEW camera controller or switcher. If the camera will be connected to a third-party
control system (such as AMX® or Crestron®), a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter is supplied with the camera for RS-232.
Videoconferencing Codecs and RS-232:
Depending on the codec that is used, and which RS-232 port is used with a codec, special DB-9 to RJ-45
adapters may sometimes be required. Refer to Vaddio’s website, price list or on the ClearVIEW HD-19 web page
on specific diagrams for wiring the camera to videoconferencing codecs.
