Overview:

Vaddio’s REVEAL IN-Wall PTZ cameras are the first in Vaddio’s Architectural Series robotic camera products. The REVEAL was designed to blend into high-end videoconference and presentation rooms and the aesthetics match closely to that of flat screen monitors in shape, color and finish. The REVEAL uses a Smart Glass technology framing system which when activated, frosts the front glass frame and shuts off the camera so there is no mistake that the REVEAL is on or off. This ensures that conference participants know what state the camera is in (on or off) which is important in the high-end room system designs.

REVEAL IN-Wall PTZ Smart Glass - Frosted/OFF

The REVEAL Smart Glass is composed of a liquid crystal matrix, laminated between ITO coatings and glass. When the camera is turned on, the glass switches to its clear state, the camera homes and is ready for use. Vaddio also offers a clear glass version of the REVEAL system.

Key features include the use of a 1/3-type, 1.3 Megapixel CCD image sensor for crisp clear images, 1.8 LUX rating and 18X glass optical zoom lens which works well in small or large rooms and lower light environments. The REVEAL enclosure uses the depth of the wall cavity eliminating the cameras extension into the room and the REVEAL works with the Vaddio HSDS™ cabling standard for video, power and control over Cat. 5 cabling. The REVEAL looks as good as it does on the inside as the outside and provides superior HD video images for wide range of HD applications.

Intended Use:

Before operating the system, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the camera and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.

Save These Instructions:

The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your system. If these instructions are misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation, User Guides and the most pertinent product drawings on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from www.vaddio.com

free of charge.

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 REVEAL 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 intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™ differential video. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-out prior to termination.

Optional Quick-Connect CCU Controller:

The Quick-Connect CCU controller can be used with any of the REVEAL packages listed above. This CCU Controller differs from the original Quick-Connect CCU in that it does not provide power to the REVEAL camera, nor does it have the HSDS™ differential video I/O. The power and video are handled by the HD-18 Quick-Connect - SR Interface and the Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI - SR Interface. The Quick-Connect CCU Controller works in conjunction with the Control I/O of each of the SR Interfaces allowing image control including Detail (sharpness) Color (red and blue gain), White Balance (auto/manual), Iris(auto/manual), Gain, Pedestal, Chroma, Gamma, Knee and allows for three (3) preset scenes

REVEAL Installation Instructions:

Step 1:

Read this manual before starting the installation. There are several things to consider before mounting an architectural camera like the REVEAL.

When locating the REVEAL, consider camera and meeting participant viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible line of site obstructions and check for in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted. Pick a mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera. Avoid locating lighting elements directly above the REVEAL camera.

The REVEAL system was designed to use the wall cavity of a 2” x 4” (1.5: x 3.5”) stud with a 1/2” to 5/8” drywall. For wall systems that use a lesser depth stud, a simple extension frame can be fabricated and finished by the integrator or the owner’s contractors to support the REVEAL system.

Step 2:

Prior to starting work, please review and verify the contents of the system that was purchased (see pages 4 through 6). Please contact Vaddio Tech Support if any parts are missing. It is difficult to install an incomplete system.

Step 3:

Carefully measure the position of the camera enclosure and mark the drywall accordingly. The size of the wall opening should be 6.0” tall x 8.75” wide a small ¼” tall notch can be cut in the drywall in order to more easily allow the camera enclosure to slip into the wall after the Cat. 5 cables are connected (see diagram below). Check the wall for studs before cutting the drywall. In some cases, part of a stud may require removal and this should be done by qualified personnel.

Use an accurate level to position the enclosure opening and trace a line to fit the back of the enclosure leaving a ¼” tall notch above the RJ-45 connectors to help ease the camera inside the wall. The face frame will cover the ¼” notch.

Cut this area out only after verifying that no studs or obstructions exist behind the drywall.

Cut the hole to 6.0” tall x 8.75” wide as stated above.

¼” Tall Notch Around RJ-45 Connectors

Step 4:

Carefully cut the drywall. Tape the edges of the cut drywall with masking tape to keep the gypsum dust from infiltrating the camera enclosure and making a dastardly and significant drywall mess.

Ease the camera into the wall opening and

check for fit. Using the level, position the camera enclosure into the hole and mark the holes for the spiral wall anchors and screws.

Step 5:

Remove the camera enclosure from the wall and install the spiral wall anchors on the marks drawn in Step 4.

Step 6:

The REVEAL System uses two (2) Cat. 5e cables. One Cat. 5e cable will to power the camera and return HSDS video signals, and the 2

nd

Cat. 5e cable will handle the RS-232 control signals. Please TEST and label the POWER/VIDEO and

the CONTROL cables accordingly.

On the bottom of the camera, remove the Pan locking screw as indicated on the right. The purpose of the screw is to hold down the pan/tilt mechanism securely during shipment. Please do not connect power to the REVEAL before removing the screw

Remove the pan locking screw prior to connecting

ower to the REVEAL

Route two (2) labeled Cat. 5e cables into the wall cavity and through the opening in the drywall. Plug the POWER/VIDEO cable into the RJ-45 jack marked EZCAMERA POWER & HD VIDEO and plug the CONTROL RJ-45 into the RS-232 & IR OUT jack (see below). At the Quick-Connect system, connect the corresponding Cat. 5e cables to the POWER & HD VIDEO port and the RS-232 OUT port. Please do not cross-connect these cables, instead please label the cables and avoid the “trial and error” connection technique.

PROPERLY. (Refer to the Switch Settings section for HD video output resolutions and dip switch settings on page 11).

RS-232 & IR OUT

Step 7: Ease the Camera Module back into the wall opening with the connected Cat. 5e cables as illustrated below:

Tilt the enclosure and allow the connectors to enter the wall opening before the bottom of the enclosure.

Slide the enclosure straight back into the wall opening and prior to securing the camera to the drywall, pull out the level….again. Back-cutting the drywall and taping the edges will aid installation.

Step 8:

Insert the four (4) #8-32 x 1.25” sheet metal screws into the previously installed spiral wall anchors but do not tighten completely. Use the level and adjust the enclosure so that the system is both level and plumb, then tighten the screws.
