WALLVIEW™ PRO EAGLEEYE WITH HSDS™

Vaddio™ PRO Series Cable System with
HSDS for the Polycom® EagleEye High
Definition PTZ Camera

OVERVIEW

The Vaddio WallVIEW PRO EagleEye (Figure 1) is built
for the Polycom EagleEye high definition PTZ Camera
(camera not included). The WallVIEW PRO system
uses high speed differential signaling (HSDS), an active
transmission system that delivers low-loss, high
definition video over Cat. 5 cabling distances up to 500’
(152.4m)
The WallVIEW PRO EagleEye system is capable of
sending video resolution up to 1080i 16:9 format (the
Polycom EagleEye camera is 720p only). WallVIEW
PRO will autoconfigure to either NTSC or PAL video
standards.
The WallVIEW EagleEye system also has many new features including in-camera IR forwarding that allows
the use of the Polycom IR remote, and eliminates the need for an external IR repeater. Other features
include analog component video outputs (Y,Pb, Pr), four position distance adjustment for CAT. 5 cabling, Y­Gain adjustment, 1-RU rack mount Quick-Connect™ PRO Universal System with HSDS, and the EZ
Interface Module (EZIM) and custom break out cable to interface between the EZIM and EagleEye camera.
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 cables or
expensive multi-coax 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. All RJ-45 connectors need to be terminated

TIA/EIA 568B or A. The use of RJ-45 “EZ” connectors is not recommended.

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. Pick a mounting location to
optimize the performance of the camera.

• Pre-wire all cabling as required from the camera location to the head end equipment.

• The camera mount can be mounted directly to a 2-gang wall box or to drywall using the supplied anchors.

Figure 2: The WallVIEW EagleEye connected to an HDX 9000 series codec uses the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter supplied. IR is fed

out of the Quick-Connect rack mount unit to the IR port on the back of the HDX 9000 series codec for IR forwarding from the
camera. The Power, Video and Control Cat. 5 cables can be run up to 500 from the Quick-Connect box to the EZ Interface
Module (EZIM), which connects to the camera. See Step 7 for additional information on HDX 9000 IR wiring. NOTE: The single
wire coming out of the back of the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter is for use with the HDX 7000 / 8000 series codecs only.

MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:

After determining the optimum location of the camera system, mark locations for the four screw holes and
the vertical oval cable pass-thru (see Figure 4). Install the drywall mounts and cut the hole for the cable
pass-thru. Next, pull the Cat. 5 cables through the hole then install the Wall Mount. Confirm that the mount
is level and tighten the wall mount screws.

Step 2:

Connect the 25-pin cable to the EZIM then, mount the EZIM and break out cable on the back of the mount,
using the two tapped screw holes (see Figure 5). Connect the HDCI connector to the EagleEye camera that
was supplied with the HDX codec.

Step 3:

Align the tapped screw holes on the bottom of the EagleEye camera to the four holes of the mount. Using
the supplied hex head screws, feed the screws through the four holes to attach the camera to the mount.

attached directly to a 2-gang wall box or to
drywall with the supplied wall anchors.

Step 4:

Prior to connecting the Cat. 5 cables, check cables for proper continuity with a Cat. 5 cable tester. Attach the
Cat. 5 cables for Power, Video and Control to the EZIM and feed the excess cabling into the wall opening or
wall box.

Step 5: Connecting the Quick-Connect PRO

The Quick-Connect PRO is a 1-RU rack mount interface that breaks out the signals from the Cat. 5 cables
back to the standard connectors. The basic system connectivity is illustrated in Figures 2 and 3.
