WALLVIEW™ PRO 300 WITH HSDS™

Vaddio™ Pro Series Cable System with
High Speed Differential Signaling for the
Sony® BRC-300 PTZ Camera

OVERVIEW

The Vaddio WallVIEW PRO 300 (Figure 1) is built
around the Sony BRC-300 standard definition PTZ
Camera. The WallVIEW PRO 300 uses high speed
differential signaling (HSDS), an active transmission
system that delivers low-loss, high-quality video over Cat.
5 cabling distances up to 500 feet. The WallVIEW PRO
300 system is capable of standard definition (SD)
resolutions in a variety of screen configurations to fit
most monitors. The BRC-300 is offered in either NTSC
or PAL formats.
The WallVIEW PRO system also has many new features, including a unique IR forwarding system which
allows the user to forward IR commands from Sony® or Polycom® IR remote controls, through the WallVIEW
system to a third party device, such as a videoconference codec (see Figure 2). Other new features include
analog Y-C (S-Video) and composite outputs on BNC connectors, four position distance adjustment for Cat.
5 cabling, Y-Gain adjustment, and the EZ Interface Module (EZIM). Like all Vaddio WallVIEW systems, the
Thin Profile Wall Mount and mounting hardware is included.

INSTALLATION

All WallVIEW products are specifically designed for installation on a vertical wall surface with Cat. 5 cable
connectivity for Power, Video and Control signaling. Installation is simplified in that no custom 8-Pin mini-din
cables or expensive S-Video plenum cables are needed and no power outlets are required near the camera

bracket. All cabling is routed to the head-end using Cat. 5 cables.

Before Installing

• Locate the camera mounting location 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.

• Pre-wire all cabling as required (see wiring diagram examples).

• The Thin Profile Wall Mount for the WallVIEW 300 can be mounted directly to a 3-gang wall box or can

be mounted to the drywall using four dry wall anchors.

Figure 2: Basic connectivity of the WallVIEW 300 System.
The WallVIEW PRO uses a Cat. 5 (all 4-pairs) for power to ensure the motors receive the required current to
operate properly. The Video Cat. 5 uses 3-pairs of the Cat. 5 for Video and 1-pair for IR forwarding. The RS­232 Cat. 5 uses 5 conductors for RS-232 with provision for daisy chain controllers. These Cat. 5 cables can
be run up to 500’ (152.4m). See Appendix 1 for wiring and pin-out information.

WallVIEW PRO 300

The WallVIEW PRO 300 has provisions for daisy chaining control signals when using an RS-232 controller
with only one (1) RS-232 output. Each WallVIEW 300 EZIM has an RS-232 input and an RS-232 output
(Figure 3).

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:

After determining the optimum location of the camera system, mark locations for the four screw holes and
cable pass-thru (vertical oval). Install the drywall mounts and cut the hole for the cable pass-thru. At this
point, do not install the Wall Mount.

Figure 4:

The wall mount may be mounted directly to a 3-gang wall
box or to drywall with the appropriate wall anchors.

Step 2:

Connect the 25-pin cable to the EZIM. Next, mount the EZIM and break out cable on the back of the wall
mount, using the two tapped screw holes (see Figure 5).

Figure 5:

(right)

Step 4:

Take the Wall Mount, with the EZIM and break out cable installed, and place it against the drywall anchors or
3-gang wall box, making sure to pull the Cat. 5 cables through the oval pass-through hole. Finger-tighten the
screws down to the mount and confirm that the base is level. Tighten the screws down firmly. If the bracket
is to be mounted on a 3-gang wall box, use the screws supplied with the electrical box.

Step 5:

Confirm that the Cat. 5 cables are terminated correctly, by testing them with a continuity tester. Next,
connect the break out cables to the appropriate ports on the BRC-300 (VISCA IN cable is labeled). Secure
the camera to the mount and using the ¼”-20 screw.
