VERVIEW
:
Based on the remarkable Vaddio ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ
Conferencing Camera, the WallVIEW HD-USB SR (SR stands
for short range) system includes the features that are expected
out of a WallVIEW branded product. The ClearVIEW HD-USB is
the world’s first broadcast-quality HD PTZ camera with USB 2.0
UVC (Universal Video Class) video output, IP streaming, internal
web pages for control and HD 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 cards or other devices to make it work. The ClearVIEW
HD-USB uses standard USB 2.0 UVC drivers, which means that
no special USB drivers, applications or associated headaches
are required. As a result, the HD-USB camera works seamlessly
with any software application running on any OS that supports
USB 2.0 video class or IP 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. The HD-USB camera is a
plug and play PTZ camera for Unified Communications soft client
conferencing systems such as Skype®, WebEx® Jabber® and
Lync® that offers a totally vast improvement over the
“inexpensive webcam” systems available today.
The HD-USB is a HD 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° wide end) to view everyone
at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2° tele end) in a larger room.
The motorized, multi-element, glass 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 astonishingly low 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE).
Like the ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Camera, the ClearVIEW HD-USB will support USB 2.0 (UVC) and IP (H.264)
video streaming (with Firmware Release 2.0.x). The Ethernet network interface provides for both IP control (with
built-in web pages) and IP streaming. IP Streaming 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 supplies 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 intermittent connec tions or shorts,
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 con nectors and test all cables for
er pin-outs prior 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
and format. All USB 2.0 UVC resolutions are derived from 720p/59.94. The USB 2.0 processor can accept
rotary positions 0 through 6. Please see the sections on available resolutions and concurrent resolutions
when using USB 2.0 and analog component outputs.
3) Camera Settings (Dip Switch Settings): Settings for IR remote frequency, baud rate, SD output format, and
image flip, test bars can be configured on these switches.
4) RS-232 IN & IR Out: The upper RS-232 Port is not implemented on the HD-USB Camera. Use the RS-232
Port on the lower card ONLY.
5) YPbPr Output: Component HD video is fed through the DE-15 connector (HD-15 for the shell sized
challenged). YPbPr and Composite signals are simultaneous. Note: This is an HD camera and the SD
signals are down converted and are really not the sweet spot of this camera. This is a courtesy feature only.

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.
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 share together and auto-implement it.
NOTE: Do not use USB 1.1 cable with the HD-USB Cable because it won’t work.
10) Settings Rotary Switch: The Settings rotary switch is essentially for future applications. Leave this switch
on position “0” for normal operation. Position “C” is used for a reset to factory defaults. To reset the camera
and erase all the stored internal data, place this switch on “C” and power cycle the camera. Move the switch
to “0” again for normal operation.
11) Ethernet 10/100 Port (H.264 Streaming Active with Firmware Release 2.0.x): 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 (nice). The network port will stream (unicast) H.264 video (from CIF up
to and including 1080p/30). IP Streaming supports RTSP and HLS formats.
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 or Telnet.
13) Permanent USB Resource Slot Card: The lower row of connectors and the brains of the HD-USB Camera
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.

Step 2: For the best USB 2.0 video, set the HD VIDEO SELECT switch to “0” (720p/59.94) on the HD-USB
Camera. All resolutions are derived from 720p. The USB 2.0 processor can accept rotary positions 0 through 6,
but please be aware that if 1080p/60 is scaled down to 320 x 180, well…the image will look much better if the PC
scales from 720p than 1080p (see note below).
Please Note: When using 1080p as the input, very low USB 2.0 resolutions such as 352 x 240
and 320 x 180 will either not look so good, won’t work or the user may wish they didn’t work due
to how far the signal is scaled/smashed down by the PC from the original input. Please use 720p
or position “0” for the lower resolutions. Always start from a HD resolution closest to what the UC
client wants to send and display.
For concurrent USB 2.0 and Analog Component (YPbPr), switch settings 0 through 6 are the resolutions that
can be both digital (USB 2.0 or H.264) and Analog (YPbPr). These resolutions are the most used resolutions
for HD video in both HD videoconferencing and broadcast.
For Analog (YPbPr) output, all of the HD VIDEO SELECT switch settings will operate.
The Composite output on the BNC connector is independent from the USB 2.0 / IP resolutions. The SD
settings on the BNC and are formatted by dip switches 5, 6 and 7.
Step 3: Choose the IR frequency (1, 2 or 3) on the camera for use with the IR Remote Commander. Since only
one USB camera can be plugged into a PC at a time, recommended default is Freq. 1 (dip switches 1 & 2 up).
WallVIEW HD-USB SR Camera System, Document Number 342-0465 Rev. D Page 12 of 40
Page 13
WallVIEW HD-USB SR Camera System
Step 4: Leave the IR out OFF (up) as default.
Step 5: Use 9600bps for control speed as default.
If the camera is mounted inverted, then set the Image Flip to ON, otherwise leave it off.
The test barsare really, really, totally non-standard (horizontal - just to mess with the old-timers) and will
override the video output. These test bars are 75% IRE. Use the test bars for…testing.
A Cautionary Note: In the event that the rotary switch was moved from “0” and left on
“C” - RESET - RESTORES TO FACTORY DEFAULTS, and is power cycled, all data
will be lost. Sometimes a RESET is required, but those occasions are generally few
and far between. On the web pages, a warning dialog box was added to inform the
administrator the state of the switch. If the factory reset is not desired, please move
the switch back to “0” and do not power cycle the camera. The warning looks almost
exactly like the warning below…

TEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL THE WALL
VIEW HD-USB SR C
AMERA SYSTEM
Step 1: Locating the Camera
Locate the camera mounting position 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. Pick a
mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera.
Like all Vaddio WallVIEW systems, the WallVIEW HD-USB SR is easy to install
and operate. The product was specifically designed with CAT-5 cable
connectivity for the extension of power and an Active USB 2.0 Extension cable
that is powered by the computer’s USB port.
Step 2:
After determining the optimum location of the camera system, run a CAT-5 cable and the Active USB 2.0
Extension Cable from the computer location to the camera location. Make sure to mark and test the CAT-5 cable
and use real RJ-45 crimper and connectors using the 568B straight-through wiring standard. Please do not use
the “feed-thru” type RJ-45 connectors for professional installations.
Step 3:
Using the CONCEAL wall mount directions, install the CONCEAL mount. If mounting to the drywall with wall
anchors, use four (4) quality wall anchors. Make sure to level the mount and tighten the mounting screws.
Step 4:
Connect the CAT-5 cable to the EZ POWER VIDEO RJ-45 port on the back panel of the HD-USB camera.
Connect 1’ (305mm) USB 2.0 Cable Type-B Male into the USB Type-B Female on the back panel of the HD-USB
camera. Connect the Active USB Extension Cable’s Type-A Female to the 1’ (305mm) USB cable’s Type-A Male
Connector. Field dress the cabling and tuck it back into the CONCEAL mount and place on the back cover to
hide all the cabling.
NOTE: Check all Cat-5 cables for continuity in advance o f the connection. Do not plug the Cat-5
cable into any other RJ-45 port but the EZ POWER VIDEO port. Th ere is 24 VDC Volts on Pin s 1 & 2.
Plugging into any other port may cause damage to the camera system and void the warranty.
Step 5: At the Head-End
Plug the Active USB Extension Cable Type-A Male directly into the computer. Plug the other end of the CAT-5
cable into the RJ-45 port of the Power Extension Module.
WallVIEW HD-USB
with CONCEAL Mount
WallVIEW HD-USB SR Camera System, Document Number 342-0465 Rev. D Page 13 of 40
Page 14
WallVIEW HD-USB SR Camera System
Step 6: Last Chance to check the wiring
After double checking the wiring, plug the 24 VDC power supply into the Power Extension Module and plug the
power supply into the power outlet. The HD-USB camera should home and also should be sending USB 2.0
MJPEG video to the computer.
Hint: It may be a good idea to set up the camera “on the grou nd” to ensure that it works properly and all the
computer and camera settings are correct prior to installing it on the wall with the CONCEAL mount.

Supported UVC Resolutions
The USB 2.0 UVC (Universal Video Class) video driver resolution table is basically an internal list of resolutions
available for the Host PC and the Camera to negotiate and use for a specified application. Typically, the highest
resolution possible between both the PC and camera is used. However, not all OS and application combinations
are typical. Some applications are assigned to a lower value, or the lowest resolution to purposely minimize the
bandwidth requirement. In order to avoid selection of the smallest resolution possible, the resolutions of 160 x
120 and 160 x 90 were removed from the camera due to the selection of the lowest resolution by some UC
Clients and because it looked sort of wicked awful (in some respect s).

NTERNAL WEB PAGES AND CONTROL
:
The internal web pages will allow control of the HD-USB and allow the user to control the
camera via an internet connection. These built-in web pages will allow the user or
administrator to set security passwords, change the IP address if not dynamic, view
diagnostics, access the firmware upgrade page and more.
To access the HD-USB’s web pages, first include your Network Administrator for the network that the camera will
be placed. Access to the internal web pages can be achieved three ways for set-up of the HD-USB’s IP address
and other administrative functions.
DHCP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP).
If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server,
then the IP address, gateway and routing information will
automatically be assigned. The HD-USB software is defaulted to
DHCP. To find out the assigned IP address please have the network
administrator provide the IP address and enter that into one of the
approved browsers.
The HD-USB will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using
DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no
DHCP server can be found.
To display the HD-USB’s IP Address:
1) Plug in the camera and let it go through the boot up procedure.
The IP Address will be displayed at the top and middle of the
screen for 15 seconds and then automatically turns off.
To see the IP address for longer than the 15 seconds at boot up, then…
2) Pick up the Vaddio IR Remote Commander and find the Data Screen button.
3) Press and hold the Data Screen button on the remote for 4 seconds.
4) The IP Address will appear on the display. The system is capable of
displaying and address up to 15 characters arranged in the format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default static IP address for the HD-USB camera is
169.254.1.1.
5) To turn off the IP Address display, press and hold the Data Screen button
for 4 more seconds or until the IP Address turns off.
Displaying the IP address for the network administrator is advantageous especially in
a network that is DHCP. It makes it easier to find the camera on the network and
assign addresses permanently within the DHCP protocol. Whatever protocols are
used, always have the network administrators available when attaching the Vaddio
HD-USB camera to the Ethernet network.
Notes:
The Data screen button is also used for the Camera’s on-screen display
where many of the camera’s parameters can be set. It is easy to tell the
difference between these modes as one quick touch enters the OSD for
the camera and a four second press and hold displays the web address
and turns off the web address display.
The IP Address will be displayed on screen out of the composite video,
analog component video (YPbPr) and the USB output. It will display at
the top, middle of the screen to ensure that older 4:3 displays can show
the address as well as the prevalent 16:9 monitors.

Static IP Set-up:
It is highly recommended that the Network Administrator and/or network personnel are involved
on the Static IP set-up of the HD-USB camera. Please do not try to set the Static IP of the
camera without help from network personnel…please?
The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable.
Depending on the age of the computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same
for network or direct connect to a computer.
The default address of the HD-USB camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different
computer OS types all have their own way of doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the
same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the HD-USB are accessible.
Examples (directly connected to a computer for set-up):
For Windows XP Pro, the routine to get to the network settings is fairly simple. Click on the Start button > Control
Panels > Network Connections > Right Click Local Area Connection > click on Properties > click on Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) > click on Properties and IP Address and Subnet Mask numbers are displayed. It is best to
record the addresses that are in the computer so they can be re-assigned when the operation is finished. Enter
169.254.1.2 (which is the default address 169.254.1.1 plus 1) and Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 and click OK > and
then OK again. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Chrome) and enter http://169.254.1.1 and the
Log-in page will appear.
With Apple OS X (10.7 and above), the steps are a bit different but essentially the same…Go to > System
Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Configure IPv4: Manually > Enter in 169.254.1.2 and Subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 and click Apply. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Safari) and enter http://169.254.1.1
and the Log-in page will appear.
Windows 7 has its own set-up that is a bit different from Windows XP Pro, but similar in that the whole purpose of
the Static IP first time set up is to give the HD-USB PTZ Camera an address that can be used over and over
again by users or administrators to control the camera.
LOGIN Page:
The Login Page will appear if there
is a user name assigned by the
administrator.
Assigning a user name can limit
access to the admin menus by a
general user.
By default, the password for the
User account is: password.
The Administrator can set the name
and password for the User account.
If no user name is assigned, the
web page will automatically open to

Streaming: The Streaming Menu allows an administrator to set up the type of streaming, color depth, video
speed and quality, protocol and path.
The Streaming Menu:
1) The Streaming mode is set for either USB 2.0 streaming (MJPEG) or IP streaming (H.264); however the HD-USB
cannot do both at the same time. It can stream USB and accept IP control, or it can IP stream with IP control.
Choose the streaming mode here.
2) USB Image Settings allows the admin to set a “friendly” name allowing each system to have its own identity. This is
handy for a user that uses several rooms. It also allows the admin to reduce the color depth to 4:2:0, which is used
with the older/cheaper webcams and applications, where image quality is not as critical. The 4:2:2 color is used by
many applications that take advantage of the performance of the camera where the colors are more vivid.
3) The IP Streaming - Video Settings allow the selection of the target performance for the IP Streaming. The HD-USB
camera is set up for a variable bit rate, which is much simpler to use. The user can select the resolution and the
quality, such as High Quality (Best), Standard Quality (Better) and Low Bandwidth (Good). Every effort to elimina te
bad combinations with the 5 or 6 parameters that make up the image size, quality, rate etc… has been made, so
you can’t pick 1080p at a bit rate of 128Kbps, which would look totally wicked awful - and probably wouldn’t work
anyway.
4) The IP Streaming Protocol also allows the admin to choose the streaming type and the port number for RTSP. The
HLS port is always on 80. The supported protocols are RTSP and HLS (Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming). RTSP is
best for live applications, where HLS serves the Apple iOS devices and is better for playback due to the amount of
buffering the HLS has built-in. The Streaming URL auto populates and that path can be changed.
5) When finished setting up the streaming parameters, click on save to put the changes into effect or cancel
to……cancel it.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO THE PROGRAM OF CHOICE:
The HD-USB PTZ Camera is compatible with many programs and media players. The following is an attempt to
generally describe the steps to plug in the HD-USB camera and get an image.
Skype Example
1) First, with a quality USB 2.0 cable, plug the USB-B port of the camera to the
USB-A port of the computer. A pop up window on the computer monitor will
display the following:
a. Found ClearVIEW HD-USB
b. Found USB Composite Device
c. Found USB Video Device
2) Open Skype and perform the following steps:
a. Open the Tools Menu and drop down to Options
b. Click on Video Settings and under Webcam choose USB Video Device
The systems will negotiate the highest resolutions possible, depending on the computer speed, network quality,
cabling etc..., and display the video signal of the camera. The camera can be controlled with the supplied Vaddio
IR Remote Commander or through IP as described earlier through the came ras web pages.
Make a test call to ensure the system is working properly.
WallVIEW HD-USB SR Camera System, Document Number 342-0465 Rev. D Page 26 of 40
Page 27
WallVIEW HD-USB SR Camera System
VLC Media Player Example
1) Same first step as above.
2) Open VLC Media Player and perform the following steps:
a. Click on the Media menu and drop down to Open Capture Device and click it.
b. Under Device Name, go to the Video Device Name drop down and choose USB Video Device.
c. Under Options, enter the Video Size as 1280x720
d. Click on Play
e. From there, VLC needs some instruction on the aspect ratio, so click on Tools and drop down to
Aspect Ratio and drop down again to 16:9 for 720p (1280x720).
VLC is a powerful record/playback system and buffers the images so you will notice some delay in the way VLC
displays the image.
Generally…
With all the compatible software available, in general terms, the video device, aspect ratio, and resolution may
need to be set manually the first time through initial set-up. Some systems are easier than others (like Skype)
and others are more technical in nature and tend to do more stuff (like VLC).

Under the USB Streaming section the USB Device Name was added, which allows the admin to use a friendly
name for the camera. The camera will be listed as a UVC Camera in the device manager without this function
and moving from room to room in the enterprise with multiple systems or controlling two cameras in a single
room, is not exactly easy. The friendly name is preferred over a generic term for firms with more than one
camera.
The camera’s scaler for lower resolutions has been improved. The HD-USB camera is optimized for HD
video, and some applications scale the video down significantly from 720p to 360p and even as low as 180p.
Some improvements were made to accommodate these lower resolutions.
A system reboot function and a return to factory defaults were added to the webpages for additional
convenience especially when managing the camera over the intern et.
Fixed Issues
Mac OS 10.8.X and 10.9 Compatibility: This release fixed an USB video streaming compatibly issue with
Mac’s Mountain Lion and Maverick operating system. In release 2.0.0, the USB video strea m could stop or
freeze when a software application requested video resolution changes on Mac’s running Mountain Lion or
Maverick operating systems. Release 2.1.0 fixes the interoperability problem and will no longer freeze up.
FIRMWARE VERSION 2.0.0PREVIOUS RELEASE NOTES:
ComponentVersion
Database2.0.0
Middleware2.0.0
New Features & Functions
Release 2.0 includes the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) or HLS (Apple’s RTSP or HLS IP Streaming:
variant on HTTP streaming) for IP Streaming of the camera’s video signal. The IP streaming is configurable
within the camera’s internal web server. The camera can be configured as either USB or IP streaming device,
however not simultaneously.
: The ClearVIEW USB has an expanded color space range for USB 2.0 streaming Improved USB Colors
creating a vivid HD image with blacker black and whiter whites.

Serial Command API Updates: Added new serial commands for setting streaming functions f rom Teln et client.
Fixed Issues: N/A
Known Issues:
IP Streaming: Video quality of IP stream will degrade with more than one media player directly connected to the
camera’s IP stream. This is a processor limitation on the streaming engine within the camera and is normal. For
many participants, please use a CDN.
Sharpness Setting on Camera: Sharpness setting on HD-USB Camera can create scaling artifacts with UC
clients using low resolution video (lower than 480p). The root cause of image artifacts are related to the MJPEG
decoder in some UC soft-clients. The sharpness can be disabled on the camera from the IR remote. Press Data
Screen and navigate to Special >Image Adj > Sharpness, then disable sharpness. This should reduce scaling
artifacts (“the jaggies”) with some software clients using low resolution video.
RTSP Port The RTSP port can be assigned on the internal web pages as 554, or between the ranges of 1024 :
to 65535. Other ports are reserved for internal purposes.

Middleware1.2.0
Note: Most of the version 1.2.0 Release notes have been added to the body of the manual as the
data is important to the operation of the HD-USB camera. The notes listed below are the highlights
of the Firmware Release 1.2.0.
New Features and Functions:
WebEx Compatibility: The video compatibility problem between HD-USB and WebEx has been resolved with a
new software release of the WebEx client. Version WBS 28.7 and above is compatible with Vaddio USB
devices.
Improved Interoperability with Various UC software Clients: Additional USB video resolution support was
added to the UVC endpoint to improve video quality for some UC soft clients that only use standard definition
video resolution.
Keyboard Hot Keys: Keyboard hot keys were added for the Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions on the Camera Control
Web Page. The Shift key not required for + and - keys on number row. Caps Lock can be ON or OFF. Num
Lock must be off to use the Numeric Keypad for pan and tilt.
USB Color Space Option: A user configurable option for setting the video color space to 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 was
added to the Web Pages. It was noted that using the 4:2:0 color space will reduce USB bandwidth by up to
25.763413125463% and may improve video quality with some UC soft clients.
Telnet Command API: A Telnet Client to the HD-USB Camera was added for control via the network. This
includes the Pan/Tilt/Zoom function. The telnet format is not a VISCA command protocol. A modified VISCA
command protocol is only supported on the RS-232 port.
Additional UVC resolutions added: See table on page 10.

PPENDIX 2 - TELNET SERIAL COMMAND
API
The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is a high level text based command line interface supported via telnet
session on the ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Camera. The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is not supported on the
RS-232 port. The RS-232 port is dedicated for VISCA commands only. The command application protocol
interface is intended to allow external device such as AMX and Crestron to control the camera. The protocol is
based upon ASCII format following the VT100 terminal emulation standard and uses an intuitive textual
command nomenclature for ease of use. The API is accessed by a telnet client on the Ethernet port. All ASCII
characters will be echoed to terminal program and appended with VT100 string -ESC[J (HEX- 1B 5B 4A).
Vaddio Command lines are terminated on carriage return. After the carriage return, the VT100 appends with –
ESC[J. (Note: Most terminal programs automatically strip the VT100 string.) General format usage follows a
get/set structure. Usage examples for each type are:
Set Example
COMMAND: > camera pan right
RESPONSE: > OK
Get Example
COMMAND: > stream mode get
RESPONSE: > streaming mode usb
Syntax Error Example
COMMAND: > camera pan right
SPONRESE: > ERROR
Additional programming controls associated with the terminal protocol includes:
CTRL 5 - Clears the current serial buffer on the device.
Telnet sessions will require access verification and uses the same username and password associated with the
Administrator account on the embedded web server. The default Telnet Port is 23. Command lines are
terminated with a carriage return.
