Overview

The XU-81 has a single 1/3-inch CMOS imaging sensor with 2.1 Megapixels. Using a Canon 20x HD Zoom Lens, it captures exceptional, high-quality images in full-HD format. Dynam ic Range Compensation allo ws for shooting in environments with a high contrast of light and shade. The XU-81 incorporates high operability optimized for broa dcast applications. The camera head pans and tilts very smoothly while simultaneously zooming, all owing for on-air movements similar to manually-operated cameras. The XU-81 has an HD-SDI output, the standard in t he broadcast market, which enables it to provide high- quality video at distances up to 100m (328.084123’).

Both the XU-81W and the XU-81 are dustproof and waterproof with an IP55 enclosure rating. Both cameras support upright or inverted mounting and the picture will automatically flip when the tilt angle reaches 90 degrees. The user can select between 1080i and 720p output modes as well as switch between RS-422 and RS-232 for control.

INTENDED USE

Before installing the Camera, please read the manuals thoroughly. Use onl y the Vaddio power supply provided with the XU81 or XU-81W. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranti es.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read and understand all instructions before usin g. Do not operate an y electrical devic e if it has been dropp ed 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.

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 connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™ differential video. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-out prior to termination.
