HuddleSTATION

Overview

The Vaddio™ HuddleSTATION was designed with the small working conference room in mind. It’s a complete Unified Communications (UC) solution incorporating all the audio & video functions for the small group collaboration in a small meeting room. This system can be used for local presentations, PCbased UC applications (i.e. Lync®, Jabber®, Skype®, Vidyo WebEx® etc…), VoIP audio conferencing, voice add-on and more.

The HuddleStation is made up of a table-based MicDock and a wall mounted HuddleSTATION Sound Bar with WideSHOT™ Type camera.

The MicDock contains the mics, the user interface, and the docking connectors for the PC and UC application.

Four (4) cardioid mic elements each with independent wideband AECs (acoustic echo cancellers), provides a 360° pickup pattern. Vaddio’s SmartMic technology ensures that pristine, crystal clear audio is maintained for both local and far-end participants with hands-free operation. A capacitive-touch user interface on the MicPOD Dock provides for dialing and conference control. PC, laptop or tablet connections include HDMI or VGA (RGBHV) to locally extend the PC’s display to the room monitor.

The HuddleSTATION sound bar incorporates a pair of bi-amped, 2-way loudspeakers, four (4) 25-Watt amplifiers and an integrated native HD camera. Like the WideSHOT™ camera, the HuddleSTATION camera has a super wide-angle lens providing greater than 82° horizontal field of view (16:9) for even the smallest of rooms. It has a manual pan/tilt mechanism and a 3X varifocal zoom lens that further tailors the image for the small room. The HuddleSTATION also includes an HDMI output for the room LCD monitor extending the PC’s monitor when docked. A supplied single Cat-6 SSTP shielded cable (25-feet) connects the HuddleSTATION with the MicPOD Dock carrying power, video, audio, control and network. A premium wall mounting system with integrated cable

tray and 4-in-1 Dock/PC Interface Cable (with HDMI/RGBHV/USB2.0/Network) are available as accessories.

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 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 an unauthorized or modified power supply will void an

and all warranties.

The BaseSTATION Cable: The Vaddio LINK cable between the MicDock and the Camera Module is critical for proper operation. The supplied 25’ (7.62m) LINK cable is Cat-6 SSTP (26awg stranded, individually shielded pairs with overall shield, gold contacts and metal shielded RJ-45. These exact attributes of the cable are required for the high speed data traffic between the tw o devices. A 50’ (15.24m) Cat-6 SSTP, which is the maximum distance between the MicDock and the Camera Module, is available as an accessor

. Do not use custom/homemade cables, because just they won’t work.

Installation Requirements

Please use qualified personnel for installation of the HuddleSTATION systems. It is critical that the IT professionals that install and maintain the network at the place of installation be involved with the provision of the network for the HuddleSTATION IP, VoIP and PC connectivity.

Setting the WideSHOT Lens on the HuddleSTATION

Image: Focus Knob Removal

You may ask, “Why would anyone want to remove the focus knob?” The answer is directly correlated with the quality of this wide-angle HD lens. It is not a plastic “webcam”, but instead it is an exceptional quality glass lens, rated up to 3-megapixel with a 3.3mm to 10.5mm precision varifocal optical zoom lens with manual iris and manual focus controls.

Note: The IR window is small, so please aim the remote at the front of the camera

Exceptional quality glass lens, rated up to 3-megapixel with a

3.3mm to 10.5mm precision varifocal zoom lens with manual zoom, iris and focus controls.

Focus Knob

Focus Knob attachment point: With a flat blade “tweaker” type screw driver, remove the screw and carefully pull off the focus knob.

Image: Adjusting the HD Varifocal Optical Zoom Lens

After removing the focus knob screw and carefully sliding off the “snug” focus knob, the lens controls are exposed and available for adjustment. The controls are as follows:

1) The Optical Zoom Control: By carefully untightening the knurled screw a half turn on the innermost ring, adjust the ring to either the wide (W) or tele (T) direction. The focus ring, now without knurled adjustment screw (screw taken out to remove the focus knob) will need to be adjusted as the zoom is changed. Experiment with the zoom range to fit the application. A full 82.2° may be too wide in some cases and tailoring the zoom to 5° to 60° may fit the room better. After setting the control, tighten the knurled screw.

2) The Manual Iris Control: After setting the zoom range and focusing on the subject’s at the distance that the camera will be used, the iris ca n be adjusted to limit the amount of light that the image sensor receives, which in turn gives an increased depth of field for focusing on the people in front of the camera. The “O” stands for open and the “C” stands for closed. Experiment with the iris to achieve the best results for the application. After setting the control, tighten the knurled screw.

3) The Focus Control: The outermost ring is the focus control and can be adjusted to the near (N) or far (F) side. Set the focus ring to the approximate position and reattach the focus knob with the knurled screw when finished.

First Time Set-up with the HuddleSTATION

The HuddleSTATION is easy to install and operate with typical installations taking less than an hour. The HuddleSTATION Camera/Sound Bar is positioned above or below a room’s LCD display. There is a premium wall mount bracket available in certain system packages or it can be purchased separately. Power, Network, HDMI output to room monitor and the LINK cable are connected to the Camera/Sound Bar. A single 25’ (7.62m) Cat-6 SSTP LINK cable, with individually shielded pairs, is provided to connect the Camera/Sound Bar to the MicDock on the conference room table. Next, a PC’s media interfaces are connected to the MicPOD Dock. This includes connecting USB 2.0, RGBHV or HDMI and Ethernet. This completes the physical installation of the HuddleSTATION. The final step is to log-on to the HuddleSTATION web pages to complete the VoIP configuration of the device. A diagram of the system connection is depicted below.

Once installed, users will be able to conduct Unified Communications (UC) sessions, VoIP Teleconferencing, or local presentations with the HuddleSTATION.

Do not plug the power supply’s AC power cord into the AC wall outlet yet. Please wait until the LINK Cat-6 SSTP cable is plugged into both sides of the HuddleSTATION (Camera/Sound Bar on one side and the MicDock on the other side). This is an important point that will be repeated redundantly in a turgidly pleonastic and tautologous manner (and more than once too).

Step 4: Connecting the MicPOD Dock

Flip the MicDock upside down to expose connectors and the connector labels. Connect the LINK Cable (provided Cat-6 SSTP with individually shielded pairs) originating from the Camera/Sound Bar with the connector marked in red. Power is supplied to the Dock with the LINK cable. Video, audio, and control between the two devices will be established automatically.

Note: Please do not plug the LINK cable into the Network RJ-45, incorrect termination is not typically a good thing, especially when power is involved.

Image: The MicPOD Dock’s Connections

The order of the connections is as follows:

1) LINK Connection: As pointed out a few times, connection of the LINK cable between the Camera/Sound Bar and the MicDock should be made prior to plugging the power supply’s AC power cord into the wall outlet. Make this connection first. The LINK cable provides power to the MicPOD and automatically establishes video, audio, and control between the two devices.

2) All of the rest of the connections (from left to right), are hot pluggable once the LINK cable is connected on both sides and the power is applied.

Step 5: Docking the PC to MicPOD Dock

Cables required: A. Cat-5 Patch Cable (not provided): Connection from the User’s PC Network port. The Network port on

the MicDock is a courtesy 10/100 port for the convenience of set-up.

B. RGBHV (VGA) Cable* DE-15M to DE-15M analog video (not provided): If the computer is still using

RGBHV analog video out, then the connection to the MicDock is made with this cable

C. HDMI Cable* (not included). Use this cable if the PC has an HDMI digital video output.

*Both the RGBHV (VGA) and the HDMI are used as extensions from the PC’s video to the room’s large

screen monitor. The UC application will determine the content that can be transmitted. D. USB 2. 0 Cable: Type-A Male to Type-B-Micro Male Cable - has to be USB 2.0, 480Mbps rated.

Option: Using the PC to MicDock Accessory Cable:

The HuddleSTATION has a Premium 3’ (.91m) 4x4 Interface Cable PC to Dock accessory cable that combines the Ethernet, HDMI, VGA, and USB cables into a single fan-out assembly to simplify cable management between the MicDock and PC.

Image: PC to MicDock Cable Accessory

Step 6: Initial System Power Up

Once the PC is on and connected properly, plug the Camera/Sound Bar’s power supply’s AC cord into an AC wall outlet. The unit will initialize and the OSD will display “Initializing” and prepare for operational use. The green LED next to power button will light up.  When the system is finished initializing, the OSD will display the IP a MAC addresses for 10 seconds, then it

will show the VoIP IP address and Proxy Status for ten more seconds and time-out.

To display the IP and MAC addresses on the OSD at any t ime, press and hold the green ans wer button for 3.0 seconds



and the IP / MAC addresses will be displayed for 10 seconds and the VoIP address and Proxy Status will be disp layed for 10 more seconds and the shut off.

It is most probably a good idea to write the addresses down. Otherwise, the default IP address of the HuddleSTATION is 169.254.1.1 and can be accessed via its internal web pages. Always involve the IT department personnel for interfacing with any LAN/WAN. The network professionals will know how to set-up the IP addresses in Static or DHCP modes as well as the VoIP functionality. Reinvention of the wheel isn’t required.

Image: Press and Hold Multifunction Buttons (PHMB)

There are three (3) PHMBs on the MicDock that have dual

➊

functions. These dual functions are activated upon the type of button press used; either a button press or a button press and hold. Each of these buttons has an LED by it and they are as follows:

➋

1) Answer (Send) Button: a. A button press answers inbound calls from VoIP or

USB, or it sends a dialed number to the VoIP PBX.

b. Press and hold for 5.0 seconds to display the IP and

MAC addresses on the OSD, for 10 seconds, then VoIP IP address and Proxy Status are shown for 10 seconds.

2) Hang-up (Disconnect Button): a. A button press disconnects a VoIP call. The Red LED

flashes once to indicate the call was terminated.

b. Press and hold the red Hang-up button for 5.0 seconds

for a Factory Reset,. The system will provide a prompt on the monitor. When the prompt is answered the system will begin to reset, please don’t interrupt a reset.

3) On/Off Power Button. a. A button press turns the system on. The green LED is illuminated when the system is on. b. Press and hold the Power button for 3.0 seconds and the system will ente r Standby Mode. In the off position, USB

audio/video ins and outs as well as VoIP functions are disable d and unit is in Stand by. Standb y Mode is indic ated on the OSD.

Framing the HuddleSTATION’s Video Shot

When framing the shot with a HuddleSTATION WideSHOT camera, consider and review the following elements:  The area should be well lit and without reflective surfaces. For wall surfaces, use a flat paint or wall

coverings to minimize audio reflections. Use neutral colors, for example; pale grey, pale blue or beige that are easy for any camera to process. Avoid tough 1950’s colors like harvest gold or avocado green.

 Avoid white and black or a stark contrast color pallet, avoid placing a big old white board in the background,

and avoid complex décor in view of the camera (modern art). Avoid glass, chrome, mirrors, and glass on table tops to minimize the lighting and audio reflections.

 Always avoid having a window in the camera shot as sunlight can be disruptive of camera performance.

Window treatments are a must for rooms with windows to achieve evenly lit space without direct sunlight.

 Never position the camera so that any ceiling lights are in the video frame. No one sits anywhere near the

ceiling and direct lighting in the frame can be problematic for the automatic functions of the camera.

The bottom line is simple, give the camera a chance to work well in the room and excellent video is the result. There are many room set up primers available on today’s internet for reference.

Drawing: A Small Conference Room (10’ wide x 12’ long)

Camera set at the wide end (82.2°).

The HD camera is set to the full wide end of 82.2° is an excellent choice for small (huddle) conferencing rooms that range from 8’ (2.44m) to 12’ (3.66m) in width x depth.

In this example, the table front is 4’ (1.22m) away from the camera and the camera can easily capture all of the meeting participants from this distance

The camera can be manually zoomed into a tighter shot for a conference room with fewer participants as well.

4’ (1.22m)

Drawing: A Bigger, Small Conference Room (12’ wide x 16’ long)

The HuddleSTATION camera set to the full wide end of 82.2°, in this example, is too wide for this room and will not render any real detail such as facial expressions and other mannerisms of the meeting participants.

The camera can be zoomed into a tighter shot (58°or tighter - rose colored viewing angle) allowing all the subjects in this room be seen on camera while still providing the details needed for effective visual communications.

System Configuration and Programming

Network Requirements and Information

For the HuddleSTATION and room PC, three (3) IP addresses are required; one (1) for HuddleSTATION UC&C conferencing, one (1) for HuddleSTATION VoIP conferencing and one (1) for the in-room PC used with the UC&C conferencing application. The courtesy network jack on the MicDock can be used by the room PC, or any other network jack in the room that is on the same network as the HuddleSTATION can be used. It is very important

from to work with the IT professionals at the place of installation to get the IP addresses, the required VoIP information (see the worksheet) and the network jack required to install and operate each HuddleSTATION.

Accessing the HuddleSTATION Web Pages

The HuddleSTATION has an embedded web server used for set-up and configuration. These internal webpages can be directly accessed by navigating to the URL with standard browsers. The software defaults to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using DHCP when connected to a network, but it will fall back to the default address of (169.254.1.1) if no DHCP server can be found. Notes for both DHCP and Static configurations are provided below:

 DHCP IP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Skip this section if Static IP is used. If the LAN is using DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server, then

the IP address, gateway and routing information will automatically be assigned. The HuddleSTATION software defaults to DHCP and 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.

 Static IP Set-up: 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 connection to a computer. The default address of the HuddleSTATION Camera/Sound Bar again 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 device are accessible.

HuddleSTATION

Screen Shot: Configuration Page

The configuration page allows an administrator to set all the preferences on the STATION. In addition, the page contains a User Interface replicating functionality of the Dialing Interface on the MicPOD Dock. Other controls include Audio and Video Settings, General Settings, Audio Level and Mute Video Mute, PIP on/off and position.

1) Call Dialing Interface: This dialer essentially replicates the dialing interface on the MicDock allowing a user to launch a VoIP call without being in the room.

2) Audio Controls: The audio volume controls the audio levels through the HuddleSTATION speakers. Audio Mute is provided and will mute the mics in the MicDock or the out-going audio.

3) Video Controls: This section controls the PIP (picture in picture) on/off and the Video mute function. Video Mute stops sending video of the subjects and will instead send a test pattern or a black screen.

4) Preferences - Audio Settings: The Audio Settings options include:

a. Speaker Bass Boost: EQ filter that enhances the bass response of the HuddleSTATION speakers. b. VoIP TX Boost: Adds a 3dB gain to the transmitted audio channel for the VoIP function. c. USB TX Boost: Adds a 3dB gain to the USB Record (Microphone Audio) being sent to the PC. d. HDMI Audio Input Enable: Enable or Disables the HDMI audio input for the MicPOD Dock. When enabled,

the HDMI audio will be mixed into the Loudspeaker channels.

5) Preferences - Video Settings: The Video Settings options are as follows:

a. PIP Position: The PIP Position is selected to be in one of the four (4) corners of the main display. b. Video Mute Pattern: Setting allows the selection between color bars or black screen when a video mute has

been enabled from the user interface panel. Video mute applies to the outgoing USB stream and local display.

c. HDMI Output Resolution: The HDMI output resolution from the HuddleSTATION Camera/Sound Bar to the

Main Monitor is set with this parameter. It has a variety of resolutions and frequencies to fit most applications.

d. Video Input Port: This allows the selection of the RGBHV or the HDMI as the main video source (like the video

input button on the front panel of the MicPOD Dock).

6) General Settings: LINK Cable Length: The system allows use with a supplied 25’ (7.62m) or an optional accessory 50’

(15.24m) Cat-6 SSTP LINK Cable between the Camera/Sound Bar and the MicPOD Dock. To use the standard 25’ cable, put this parameter on 25’. If a 50’ cable is used set this parameter to 50’. The cable requirement is stringent and it is recommended that the Vaddio supplied cables be used…More on this later. Power Mode: Allows the user to put the system to sleep after an idle period, displaying a status message while dozing.

Extending PC Display to Room’s Display

The local PC’s display can be extended to the room’s large format display by plugging into either the HDMI or RGBHV (VGA) port on the MicPOD Dock. This is equivalent to connecting to a room projector to share the PC’s display to the room. Anything on the local PC display can be emulated to the room’s display.
