WallVIEW CCU HD-18

WallVIEW CCU HD-18 Overview

With the WallVIEW CCU HD-18 PTZ camera and CAT-5 cabling system, Vaddio delivers a solution that allows for easy installation and integration. The camera is built around a 1.3 megapixel, 1/3” CCD with an 18x optical zoom lens, making it the ideal choice for a wide range of high definition video applications. In addition to the component HD output (720p, 1080i or 1080p), the camera comes with a simultaneous composite SD output (NTSC or PAL).

Because the camera module is built around a CCD image sensor, the HD-18 is excellent in low-light situations, with a 1.8 lux rating. In addition, the video signal to noise ratio output of the camera is greater than 50dB, delivering clean, clear video.

The multi-element Wide Dynamic Zoom lens allows WallVIEW CCU HD-18 to capture a wide angle of view (55.2°) enough to view everyone at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2°). The zoom range provides greater flexibility for a wide variety of applications. Pan range is +170 to -170 degrees, and Tilt range is -30 to +90 degrees.

Paired with the HD-18 camera is Vaddio’s Quick-Connect CCU breakout box. Installed at the equipment headend, the Quick-Connect CCU provides power, video and control up to 500 feet over three (3) CAT-5 cables. The CCU allows users to control a variety of image controls built into the camera, including iris, red and blue gain, pedestal, knee, gamma, chroma and gain.

The WallVIEW CCU HD-18 is an exceptional camera system for integration projects, since no power supply is required at the camera location. Use the WallVIEW CCU HD-18 for high definition camera applications, such as houses of worship, corporate boardrooms, live event production and distancelearning.

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 Super Joystick or ProductionVIEW HD).

LCD Display:

Backlit (blue) display indicates which parameter (iris, detail, etc.) is being adjusted. When a rotary encoder is moved, the name of the control being actuated and the value of that assigned parameter will be displayed.

Scenes A, B & C:

Three camera adjustment scenes (A, B & C) can be stored into microprocessor memory. When lit (backlit blue SPDT switch), the scene is activated. To store a scene, the user adjusts the controls and touches and holds the scene button down until the button blinks.

Detail:

The Detail control sharpens or softens objects in the frame.

Red & Blue Gain Controls:

The Red and Blue Gain encoders adjust the red and 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.

SHIFT:

Pressing Shift illuminates the button and changes the Pedestal adjustment knob to Knee adjustment. Knee adjustment allows a bright objects that are easily overexposed to be reproduced more accurately. Pressing the Shift button a second time turns the light off, and the knob reverts to Pedestal adjustment.

Pedestal / Knee, Chroma & Gamma:

The Pedestal adjustment controls the absolute black level of an image. Chroma controls the overall color of the image being captured. Gamma adjusts the overall brightness of an image. See SHIFT for information on Knee.

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 boosts the signal level when the iris is open all the way, and there is not enough lighting available. To manually adjust the gain Auto Iris must be off.
