The Vaddio™ Quick-Connect 4, Video, Power and Control Wiring Center (Figure 1)
simplifies Operator and Presenter camera systems using the Vaddio EZCamera™
Cabling standard. The Quick-Connect 4 can accommodate up to four separate
Vaddio PTZ cameras, combining and consolidating four Vaddio Quick-Connect
Boxes, four PowerRite™ power supplies and four EZCamera Control Adapters used
with the EZCamera cable system.

Each camera port has an individual 18VDC supply to power a single PTZ camera.
Power is provided to the camera and S-Video and Composite video are both
returned to the Quick-Connect 4 on the same single Cat. 5 cable for Power/Video.

Individual control ports are supplied for camera control systems like the
ProductionVIEW™ and camera control daisy chaining is accommodated through the
first camera control port as well.

Control inputs are either DB-9 or RJ-45 and control outputs are RJ-45, which
connect easily with all Vaddio WallVIEW™, CeilingVIEW™, EZCamera and
HideAway series cameras.

Before operating the Vaddio Quick-Connect 4, please read the entire manual
thoroughly. The wiring system was designed, built and tested for use indoors.
Outdoor operation is not recommended, has not been tested and could damage the
unit and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition. Use only the Vaddio
provided power supply.

The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your
Vaddio Quick-Connect 4. For reference, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications,
Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product drawings for the Vaddio
product line on the website. These documents can be downloaded from

www.vaddio.com

free of charge.

Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate the 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.
