OneLINK

Overview:

The Vaddio OneLINK for Cisco Precision HD Cameras is built for use with the Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 12x and PrecisionHD 720p high definition PTZ cameras and the Cisco C20, C40, C60 and C90 codecs (camera and codec not included).

The OneLINK system uses Vaddio’s Super-HSDS™ active high speed digital bus technology for video, power and control over Cat-5e, but with one very important difference: OneLINK uses only One (1) Cat-5e cable for HD digital video, power and control at distances up to 125’ (38.1m)…it’s remarkable really.

The OneLINK system sends and regulates power to the camera, provides a bi-directional control channel and transmits/receives uncompressed HD digital video, up to and including 1080p/60Hz, all

OneLINK for Cisco PrecisionHD 1080p 12x camera with wall mount and EZIM mounted behind the camera (camera & codec not included)

on one (1) Cat-5e cable, hence the name, OneLINK. The OneLINK is a complete peripheral system and comes with the Quick-Connect, the EZIM, and three (3) 1’

(30.5cm) native cables at the camera (HDMI, 5.5mm OD x 2.1 mm ID Coax power cable, and RJ-45 patch cable). A totally awesome camera mount made specifically to mount the PrecisionHD series PTZ cameras and the EZIM is also included.

The OneLINK for Cisco Precision HD cameras also has many additional features including the ability to forward RS-232 information from the camera to the codec and auto recognition of the camera when used with the Cisco C-series codecs.

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.

Do not use the Cisco/TANDBERG cable, part number 116627 DB-9M to RJ-45, with the Quick-Connect OneLINK camera control port. Unpleasant things may occur.
