Quick-Connect USB Interface

prop

VERVIEW

: The Quick-Connect USB (QC-USB) Interface for Vaddio cameras is the most flexible video, power and control camera interface available on today’s market. This robust system uses the Vaddio EZCamera™ Cabling system and uses two Cat-5 cables to provide power, return HSDS™ video and extends RS-232 control signaling to the camera up to a distance of 100’ (30.48m) with PTZ motorized cameras and up to 150’ (45.72m) with ZoomSHOT & WideSHOT stationary POV cameras.

The Quick-Connect USB was designed to have multi-format digital and analog video outputs, it’s compatible with all existing and forthcoming Vaddio cameras, and like all other Vaddio interface products, it’s an entirely unique interface that is easy to use and represents a tremendous value for integrators and end users alike.

Images: Quick-Connect USB Front Panel (up) and Rear Panel (below)

Starting with the front panel, the backlit LCD is an ODV (omni-directional view), ABN (advanced black nematic) type of display that achieves superior front screen performance while offering a high contrast and wide viewing angle combined with high visibility.

The LCD will display the MAC (HW for Hardware) and IP addresses allowing for easy access to the internal webpages and camera settings for a PC or BYOD (bring your own device - laptop or tablet) over the network. The QC-USB has a front panel system reset switch as well as LED indicators on the front panel to show if the system is streaming USB 2.0 (UVC) MJPEG, IP (H.264) video or if the network is in general use (see images).

The QC-USB rear panel includes the USB 2.0 connection and the Ethernet 10/100 connection to provide for USB

2.0 streaming or IP video streaming and IP control. The USB 2.0 uses the standard UVC (Universal Video Class) drivers built-in to the OS of the computer, which means that no pesky programs or additional drivers and the associated headaches are required. Any compatible UC client using UVC drivers can be used (see compatible UC program list). The system also streams IP video (H.264) and supports both RTSP and HLS (HTTP Live Streaming, Apple’s variant on HTTP streaming).

An embedded web server provides for browser-based access of robotic camera controls, camera presets and rudimentary CCU functions (color and shading/painting controls) as well as the video configuration web pages. Analog and HDMI video outputs are also included and output the same video resolution that is sent from the camera simultaneously. The USB and IP resolutions are independent from the standard HD video outputs. The EZ-Power Video and RS-232 jacks are on RJ-45’s and are cabled to the corresponding RJ-45 connections on the Vaddio cameras. The RS-232 IN is supplied to connect a camera controller or control system if needed.

Intended Use:

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested for use indoors with the power supply provided. Outdoor operation or use of a different power supply 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.

Quick-Connect USB, Document Number 342-0653 Rev. B Page 4 of 36

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 intermittent connecti ons which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS (high speed differential) signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for

er pin-outsprior to use and connection to Vaddio product.

ADDIO CAMERA - FIRST TIME SET-UP

The Vaddio cameras were designed to be very easy to use and operate. There is documentation at the back of the camera manuals for pin-outs for the connectors on cameras. The Quick-Connect USB pin-outs are in this manual’s appendix.

Before Installing the Camera (new install):

 Choose the camera mounting location while 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. Always pick a mounting location that will optimize the performance of the camera. Please locate the camera to enable easy positioning of the camera body with the ability to point down and away from the ceiling and a pile of fluorescent

lighting cells. Cameras generally don’t like to be swamped with fluorescent light and nobody sits on the ceiling anyway.

 For Power/Video and RS-232 signals, use standard Cat-5 cable (568B termination and real RJ-45

connectors) from the EZ-POWER VIDEO and RS-232 ports on the back of the cameras to the Quick-Connect USB Interface.

 All WallVIEW Systems include a wall mount with mounting hardware. For new installations, please follow the

instructions on mounting in the camera manual.

NOTE:

 Cat-5 cabling distance for PTZ cameras is up to 100’ (30.48m).  Cat-5 cabling distance for stationary POV cameras (ZoomSHOT and WideSHOT is up to 150’ (45.72m).

Quick-Connect USB, Document Number 342-0653 Rev. B Page 10 of 36

Quick-Connect USB Interface

Step By Step Quick-Connect USB Installation Instructions: Step 1: After determining the optimum location of the camera; route, mark and test the two (2) Cat-5 cables from

the camera to the Quick-Connect USB Interface located at the head-end. Follow the mounting instructions included with the camera package.

Step 2:

Set the desired HD Resolution with the rotary selection switch on the camera. NOTE: For best results with USB

2.0 streaming, select video resolution position “0” (720p/59.94). MJPEG is limited to 720p, so starting higher only adds a layer of scaling. Position “0” also works well with IP streaming...so please try position “0”.

Step: 3: Follow the sample wiring diagram for connecting the Cat-5 cables to the cameras and Quick-Connect

USB Interface (Diagrams on the page 8, 9 and 10, but read and understand the rest of these instructions especially the next note).

NOTE: Check all Cat-5 cables for continuity in advance of the final connection. Label the

Cat-5 cables. Plugging the EZ POWER HD VIDEO cable into the wrong RJ-45 may cause damage to the camera system and void the warranty. Pay attention to maximum Cat-5 cabling distance per camera type.

Step 5: Connect the supplied 24 VDC, 2.0 Amp power supply to a power outlet and to the Quick-Connect USB

Interface. The Quick-Connect USB will initialize, Power will travel down the EZ-POWER VIDEO Cat. 5 cable to the camera. The camera will boot up and in a few seconds, differential HD video will travel back down the Cat-5 cable to the Quick-Connect USB. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information from the IR remote control or RS-232 camera controller, however it is always best to choose and use IR or RS232 and not both concurrently. If connected to the Network, the Quick-Connect USB will display the Hardware (HW) MAC Address and the IP address.

Controlling the Quick-Connect USB:

RS-232 Control: An API is provided for control of the cameras over RS-232 through the Quick-Connect USB.

The camera RS-232 commands are in the back of this manual).

Telnet Control: The cameras can be controlled through the Quick-Connect USB via Telnet session. These

exciting commands are listed at the back of the manual.

Built-in Webserver Control: The Quick-Connect USB has a built-in webserver that auto-loads the control

protocols of the Vaddio camera attached (pretty cool huh?). Full camera controls including CCU image controls are available from any approved browser on any computer. The IP address is always displayed on the front panel display of the Quick-Connect so access to the internal webpages is super accessible and easy.

Quick-Connect USB Details

The Quick-Connect USB interface is a Cat-5 camera interface and an IP or USB 2.0 streaming appliance with a built-in webserver for camera set-up and control. The Quick-Connect USB Interface uses UVC (Universal Video Class) drivers for USB 2.0 video and does not require the loading of any other drivers to run on the PC. As long as the operating systems and soft-client software support UVC drivers, no additional software/drivers, other than the application is required.
