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.

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.

Figure 4:

feed-through hole. The wall mount may be
attached directly to a 2-gang wall box or to
drywall with the supplied wall anchors.

Figure 5:

Mount (right)

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.

WallVIEW Universal PRO EagleEye Installation and User Guide 341-660 Rev. B Page 4 of 12

Step 6:

Attach the Cat. 5 cables for Power, Video and Control to the Quick-Connect PRO rack mount interface.
Connect the HD video outputs to the Polycom HDCI break out cable provided either provided with your
codec, or available from Polycom. Connect the DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter to the Polycom break out cable, then
connect the RS-232 control Cat. 5 cable to the RJ-45 port on the adapter (see Appendix 1 for additional
wiring detail). Connect the PowerRite 36 VDC power supply to the Quick-Connect PRO power input.

Note: Plugging the POWER Cat. 5 Cable into the wrong RJ-45 may cause damage to the camera system and void the warranty.

Step 7: For HDX 9000 Series Installs Requiring IR Pass-Thru

Connect a two-conductor wire to the connectors of both the
Polycom HDX codec and Quick-Connect PRO Universal rack
mount box. Ground from the Quick-Connect PRO Universal
should be terminated to the “-“ connector on the HDX 9000 Series
codec’s IR input. The Signal “SIG” port on the Quick-Connect
PRO Universal should be terminated to the square wave symbol.
See adjacent drawing for additional detail

Connect the IR output from the Quick-Connect PRO Universal to
either the IR spring cage IR input on an HDX series codec (where
available) or a Xantech™ IR probe (compatible models: 282MRP
or 283M). The white striped wire on the IR Probe is the Signal
and the black wire is Ground.

Step 7: For EagleEye IR Pass-Thru on HDX 7000 and 8000 Series Codecs

Using the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (998-1004-232) supplied with the system, strip and terminate the single wire
coming out of the back of the adapter, and connect it to the Phoenix-type connector supplied with the Quick­Connect PRO. The wire needs to be terminated to the “SIG” pin on the back of the Quick-Connect PRO.

Figure 7: Required wiring configuration
for IR Forwarding from the camera IR
port to codec. Note: There is no IR port
on the front of the HDX 7000 and 8000
series codecs. The IR receiver on these
codecs is imbedded in the camera.

Step 8:

Connect the Vaddio 36 VDC power supply to an AC outlet. Power will travel down the Power Cat. 5 cable to
the cable shoe, powering the camera. The camera will “Home” to a centered position ready for control
information from the provided IR Remote Commander or RS-232 Camera controller of the integrators’ choice.
To insure proper continuity of control and operation of the cameras, the RS-232 controller (control system or
joystick) should be powered on after the camera.

Step 9:

The Quick-Connect PRO Universal interface has an 8-position dip switch on the rear panel to allow the
selection of IR Forwarding Mode for Polycom® codecs. See setting options on next page.

Step 10: Setting the IR Pass-Through Adjustment

NOTE:

The IR Gain adjustment is factory set for distances below 300 feet (91.4 meters),
and should not have to be adjusted unless the Cat. 5 cabling distance is over this length.
For cable runs above 300 feet, slowly adjust the gain level up while pressing functions on
the remote control, pointed at the EagleEye camera using the WallVIEW PRO system.
Once all remote control functions are operating from the remote, through the camera’s IR
sensor, the IR gain is adjusted properly.

Connecting an IR Probe:

If connecting a Xantech IR Probe to the IR output of the Quick-Connect PRO Universal, the
white striped wire on the probe should be connected to the signal “SIG” terminal and the
ground, or black wire to “GND”. Attach the probe over the IR window of the codec. Make
sure the dipswitch is in the correct position.
