WideSHOT WallVIEW USB System

VERVIEW

: The Vaddio WideSHOT HD camera wide angle, manual lens camera produces astounding results for small and huddle room applications where the distance between the camera and the subject is limited. The WideSHOT camera was designed as a low cost, high value, manual pan/tilt/zoom camera with a super wide-angle lens that can be set to provide the best image possible in a small environment. To that end, the WideSHOT camera sports a lens with 82.2° wide horizontal field of view with a user adjustable iris, focus and varifocal zoom of approximately 3X (3.3mm to 10.5mm). With the 3X optical zoom capability, even the “big” small rooms can be covered too.

The WideSHOT HD was designed from the ground up and is equipped with the Vaddio EZCamera™ Cat-5 wiring standard for video, power and control. Using HSDS™ (high speed differential) video outputs over Cat-5 cable, the WideSHOT supplies a wide range of video

Image: WideSHOT HD Camera

resolutions that are selectable from the rear panel; from 480p/59.94YPbPr up to and including 1080p/60. The HSDS processing allows delivery of the WideSHOT HD video signals up to 150’ (45.72m).

This system features the awesomely robust Quick-Connect USB Interface, which was designed to have multi-format digital and analog video outputs, to be compatible with all existing and forthcoming Vaddio cameras and include USB 2.0 or IP streaming outputs with a built-in web server for IP control. The outputs include; HDMI, YPbPr, USB Video (UVC standards-MJPEG) and H.264 IP Video (RTSP & HLS). The embedded webserver provides for browser-based access to camera controls, camera presets and basic CCU functions (color and shading controls) as well as the video configuration web pages.

Image: ZoomSHOT Rear Panel

Choose between three (3) IR frequencies for the Vaddio IR SHOT Commander to allow multiple cameras to be locally IR controlled with a single remote control. And like all WallVIEW packages, the thin profile wall mount is included.

Intended Use:

Image: Quick-Connect USB Interface

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built, and tested for use indoors with the power supply provided. The use of a power supply other than the one provided, or outdoor operation hasn’t been tested and may damage the device or create a potentially unsafe operating condition

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.

Setting the WideSHOT Lens

Image: WideSHOT Focus Knob Removal

You may ask, “Why would anyone want to remove the focus knob?” The answer is directly correlated with the quality of this wide-angle HD lens. It is not a plastic “webcam”, but instead it is an exceptional quality glass lens, rated up to 3-megapixel with a 3.3mm to 10.5mm precision varifocal optical zoom lens with manual iris, focus and zoom controls.

IR Window (recessed) & the blue/red LED light pipe

Exceptional quality glass lens, rated up to 3-megapixel with a

3.3mm to 10.5mm precision varifocal zoom lens with manual zoom, iris and focus controls.

Focus Knob

Focus Knob attachment point: With a flat blade “tweaker” type screw driver, remove the screw and carefully pull off the focus knob.

Image: Adjusting the HD Varifocal Optical Zoom Lens

After removing the focus knob screw and carefully sliding off the “snug” focus knob, the lens controls are exposed and available for adjustment. The controls are as follows:

1) The Optical Zoom Control: By carefully untightening the knurled screw a half turn on the innermost ring,

adjust the ring to either the wide (W) or tele (T) direction. The focus ring, now without knurled adjustment screw (screw taken out to remove the focus knob) will need to be adjusted as the zoom is changed. Experiment with the zoom range to fit the application. A full 82.2° may be too wide in some cases and tailoring the zoom to 65° to 70° may fit the room better. After setting the control, tighten the knurled screw.

2) The Manual Iris Control: After setting the zoom range and focusing on the subject’s at the distance that the

camera will be used, the iris ca n be adjusted to limit the amount of light that the image sensor receives, which in turn gives an increased depth of field for focusing on the people in front of the camera. The “O” stands for open and the “C” stands for closed. Experiment with the iris to achieve the best results for the application. After setting the control, tighten the knurled screw.

3) The Focus Control: The outermost ring is the focus control and can be adjusted to the near (N) or far (F)

side. Set the focus ring to the approximate position and reattach the focus knob with the knurled screw when finished. Fine tune the focus for the final shot.

SHOT C

The WideSHOT was designed to be very easy to use and operate. There is documentation at the back of this manual for pin-outs for the connectors on the WideSHOT camera and the Quick-Connect USB interface.

Before Installing the Camera:

 Choose the WideSHOT’s mounting location 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. Always pick a mounting location that will optimize the performance of the camera. Please locate the camera to enable easy positioning of the camera body with the ability to point down and away from the ceiling and a pile of fluorescent lighting cells. Cameras generally don’t like to be swamped with fluorescent light and few people sit on the ceiling anyway.

 The Thin Profile Wall Mount for the WideSHOT can be mounted directly to a 1-gang wall box or can be

mounted using two (2) provided spiral dry wall anchors.

 For Power/Video and RS-232 signals, use standard Cat-5 cable (568B termination and real RJ-45

connectors) from the EZ-POWER VIDEO and RS-232 ports on the back of the WideSHOT to the QuickConnect USB Interface. The EZ-POWER VIDEO jack on the camera is marked in red as a reminder that there is 24 VDC power on that Cat-5 cable.

AMERA - FIRST TIME SET-UP

Camera with provided Thin Profile Wall Mount

WideSHOT WallVIEW USB Document Number 342-0696 Rev. B Page 12 of 44

WideSHOT WallVIEW USB System

Step By Step WideSHOT WallVIEW USB Installation Instructions: Step 1: After determining the optimum location of the camera; route, mark and test

the two Cat-5 cables from the camera to the Quick-Connect USB Interface located at the head-end. The two Cat-5e cables should feed-through the hole located on the rear flange of the Thin Profile Wall Mount. If the bracket is to be mounted on a 1gang wall box, use the screws supplied with the wall box cover plate to attach the Thin Profile Wall Mount. If mounting to the drywall with wall anchors, use two quality wall anchors. The mount provides for easy leveling. Pull the Cat-5 cables though the wall and feed the cables through the back of the mount. Level the mount and tighten the mounting screws.

Step 2: Using the HD VIDEO SELECT rotary switch and CAMERA SETTINGS dip switches on the back of the camera, set up the camera’s output resolution and functional preferences. There are tables on Page 6 that identify the choices… keep these tables handy for future use…or you can easily look them up on the Vaddio website

(vaddio.com) when needed.

Setting the WideSHOT Camera:

 Set the desired HD Resolution with the rotary selection switch. If changing the resolution, always reboot

the camera to ensure proper operation. Note: Use 720p/59.94 (position “0”) for best results for Streaming USB 2.0 (MJPEG) or IP Video (H.264).

 Set the IR frequency (1, 2 or 3) of the camera (if it is to respond to the IR remote control).  Set the desired image orientation (normal or flipped).  Set up the lens according to the directions on Page 6.

Step: 3: Follow the sample wiring diagram for connecting the Cat-5 cables to the WideSHOT and Quick-Connect USB Interface (Diagram on pages 9, 10 & 11, but read and understand the rest of these instructions especially the next note).

NOTE: Check all Cat-5 cables for continuity in advance of the final connection. Label the

Cat-5 cables. Plugging the EZ POWER HD VIDEO cable into the wrong RJ-45 may cause damage to the camera system and void the warranty. For premise cabling, please use real RJ-45 connectors and crimpers. Please don’t use the pull through or EZ type of RJ-45.

Step 4: Place the camera onto the camera mount and use the provided ¼”-20 screws to secure the camera to

the mount. To dress the cabling, push the extra cable back into the wall opening. Position and focus the camera.

Step 5: Connect the Vaddio 24 VDC, 2.0 Amp power supply to a power outlet and to the Quick-Connect USB Interface. The Quick-Connect USB will initialize, power will travel down the Power/Video Cat. 5 cable to the camera. The camera will boot up and in a few seconds, differential HD video will travel back down the Cat-5 cable to the Quick-Connect. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information from the IR remote control or RS-232 camera controller. The Quick-Connect USB will display the Hardware (HW) MAC Address and the IP address.

To ensure proper continuity of control and operation of the cameras, the RS-232 controller (control system or joystick) should be powered on after the camera.

Controlling the WideSHOT: (this package)

IR Remote: The IR Shot Commander Remote control can control the camera’s basic functions and enter the

OSD (on-screen display) for more advanced controls.

RS-232 Control: An API is provided for control of the camera over RS-232 (commands in the back of manual). Telnet Control: The camera can be controlled through the Quick-Connect USB via Telnet session. These

exciting commands are listed at the back of the manual. Built-in Webserver Control: The Quick-Connect USB has a built-in webserver that auto-loads the control protocols of the Vaddio camera attached (pretty cool huh?). Full camera controls including CCU image controls are available from any approved browser on any computer. The IP address is always displayed on the front panel display of the Quick-Connect so access to the internal webpages is super easy.

RAMING THE WIDE

SHOT’S V

IDEO SHOT

When framing the shot with a WideSHOT Camera, consider and review the following el ements:  The area should be well lit and without reflective surfaces. For wall surfaces, use a flat paint or wall

coverings to minimize audio reflections. Use neutral colors, for example; pale grey, pale blue or beige that are easy for any camera to process.

 Avoid white and black or a stark contrast color pallet, avoid placing a big old white board in the background,

and avoid complex décor in view of the camera (modern art like stuff). Avoid glass, chrome, mirrors, and glass on table tops to minimize the lighting and audio reflections.

 Always avoid having a window in the camera shot as sunlight can be very disruptive of camera performance.

Window treatments are a must for rooms with windows to achieve evenly lit space without direct sunlight.

 Never position the camera so that any ceiling lights are in the video frame. No one sits anywhere near the

ceiling and direct lighting in the frame can be problematic for the automatic functions of the camera.

The bottom line is simple, give the camera a chance to work well in the room and excellent video is the result. There are many room set up primers available on today’s internet for reference.

Drawing: A Small 10’ wide x 12’ long Conference Room with a WideSHOT HD

WideSHOT set at the wide end (82.2°).

The WideSHOT HD camera set to the full wide end of 82.2° is an excellent choice for small (huddle) conferencing rooms that range from 8’ (2.44m) to 12’ (3.66m) in width x depth.

In this example, the table front is 4’ (1.22m) away from the camera and the WideSHOT can easily capture all of the meeting participants from this distance

The WideSHOT can be manually zoomed into a tighter shot for a conference room with fewer participants as well.

The WideSHOT HD camera set to the full wide end of 82.2°, in this example, is too wide for this room and will not render any real detail such as facial expressions and other mannerisms of the meeting participants.

The WideSHOT can be zoomed into a tighter shot (58°or tighter rose viewing angle) allowing all the subjects in this room to be seen on camera while still providing the details needed for effective visual communications.

Please see Setting the WideSHOT Lens section on page 6.
