VERVIEW

:

Based on the remarkable Vaddio ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ
Conferencing Camera, the WallVIEW HD-USB SR (short range)
System includes many of the features that you would expect out
of a WallVIEW branded product. The ClearVIEW HD-USB is the
world’s first broadcast-quality HD PTZ camera with USB 2.0
output, Ethernet streaming and analog component (YPbPr)
outputs built right into the camera. Simply plug the HD-USB
camera directly into your PC and there is no need for a separate
capture device. The ClearVIEW HD-USB uses standard USB 2.0
UVC drivers, which means that no special USB drivers require
installation or can provide headaches. As a result the HD-USB
camera works seamlessly with any software application running
on any OS that supports USB 2.0 devices. All this, and the
ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ cameras are made in the USA too.

The ClearVIEW HD-USB combines impressive performance with
an equally impressive feature set. Using the UVC standard
drivers for USB 2.0 video, the HD-USB camera is a plug and
play PTZ camera for Unified Communications soft client
conferencing systems such as Skype®, Jabber® and Lync®,

WallVIEW HD-USB SR System with CONCEAL Mount

which offers a vast improvement over the “inexpensive webcam”
systems available today.

The HD-USB is a high definition conferencing camera suitable for the small, medium or even the largest
conferencing space available. The HD zoom lens allows HD-USB to capture a wide angle of view (58.1°) to view
everyone at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2°) in a larger room.
The motorized zoom lens offers 19X optical zoom and is built around a 1/3-Type Sony® Exmor, progressive scan,
high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor with a total of 1.3 Megapixels for precise and vibrant HD color video
images. The HD-USB achieves improved picture quality even in low light environments requiring a minimum
illumination rated at an amazingly low 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE).

Soft Ware Notes

:
Like the ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Camera, the WallVIEW systems will be released with two (2) major software
releases. Release 1.0 will allow USB 2.0 streaming and with the following Release 2.0 software, the ClearVIEW
HD-USB will also support H.264 video streaming. It has a built in Ethernet network interface for both IP control
and IP Streaming can be initiated directly from the camera. It will support either RTSP or HLS streaming
protocols. The software is easily upgradeable in the field over the Ethernet port.

The WallVIEW HD-USB SR system includes the HD-USB camera, the CONCEAL camera mount, an active, port­powered 20m (65.6168’) USB-2.0 extension cable, the Vaddio Power Extension Module for extending power over
CAT-5 cable to the camera and all the USB 2.0 cables, power supplies and mounting hardware that are required
to install the WallVIEW HD-USB SR system.

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 in termittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for prope r pin­outs

rior to use and connection to Vaddio product.

Connectors and Functions:

1) 12 VDC Input: Power input on EIAJ-04 connector for local power.

2) HD Video Select: A rotary switch that allows the user to choose the component HD output video resolution

3) Camera Settings (Dip Switch Settings): Settings for IR remote frequency, baud rate, SD output format, and

4) RS-232 IN & IR Out: The upper RS-232 Port is not implemented on the HD-USB Camera. Use the RS-232

Connectors and Functions (continued)

6) Composite Video (CVBS) Output: The CVBS output feeds out SD video signals and is configurable with

the dip switches to choose between 480i/NTSC or 576i/PAL in 4:3 formats. Squeeze and letterbox modes
are also available (see dip switches).

7) EZ POWER VIDEO Port: Use the RJ-45 EZ POWER VIDEO port with the Power Extension Module. The

Power Extension Module sends DC power over pins 1 & 2 to power the HD-USB camera for up to 150’
(45.72m). In the Case of the WallVIEW HD-USB SR system, the limitation is the USB 2.0 Extension Cable,
which extends USB 2.0 only 65’ (20m).

8) 5 VDC Output: The 5 VDC output is on an EIAJ-03 connector was added to supply power to the active

Extreme USB Extender transmitter side. The receiver side is powered by the computer’s USB port or
powered USB Hub.

9) USB 2.0 Connector: The USB 2.0 is on a type-B Female and attaches to a PC running a soft-client video

conferencing system or video capture software that uses UVC (USB Video Class) standard drivers. No other
drivers are required to plug the HD-USB into a computer and have it work. The UVC drivers will auto
negotiate the top resolution that the PC and HD-USB Camera can accomplish together and auto implement
it, and bob’s your uncle.

10) Settings Rotary Encoder: The Settings encoder allows the user to easily access automatically negotiated

USB or H.264 Preset and User configurations without having to plug in a computer to configure it. While a
computer is recommended for set-up, this rotary allows for a quick set-up.

11) Ethernet 10/100 Port (H.264 Streaming Active with Software Release 2.0): The network port has green

and yellow LEDs that indicate ready and usage states. The port allows for access to the internal web pages
for camera set-up and control. The network port will stream (unicast) H.264/MPEG4/AVC video (from CIF up
to and including 1080p/30) starting with Release 2.0 of the Software.

12) RS-232 Port: The RS-232 Port allows external control systems to engage a rudimentary API. Basic

functions include pan, tilt zoom, on/off etc. The functions on the Vaddio IR Remote Commander are mirrored
in the API. Most control is expected to come from the internal web page via Ethernet, Telnet or over USB

2.0.

13) Permanent USB Resource Slot Card: The lower row of connectors and the brains of the HD-USB Came ra

are located on this permanent slot card. The card is not removable and is not compatible with any other
Vaddio camera. Please do not try to remove this card at any time.

built around a 1/3-Type, high-speed, progressive scan CMOS
image sensor with a total of 1.3 Megapixels for precise HD video
image acquisition.

2) Blue Power Light: A Vaddio blue power light is illuminated

when the camera is turned on.

3) IR Sensors: IR sensors are built into the front of the HD-USB to receive IR signals from the IR remote

control supplied with the camera.

4) Red Tally Light: The red tally light is not used with the HD-USB
