WALLVIEW™ PRO Z330 WITH HSDS™

Vaddio™ PRO Series Cable System for the
Sony® BRC-Z330 High Definition PTZ Camera

OVERVIEW

The Vaddio WallVIEW PRO Z330 (Figure 1) is built around
the Sony BRC-Z330 high definition PTZ Camera with a 1/3­type, 2 megapixel CMOS image sensor. The WallVIEW PRO
Z330 uses high speed differential signaling (HSDS), an active
transmission system to deliver superior video quality over Cat.
5 cabling distances up to 500 feet.
The WallVIEW PRO Z330 system is capable of 1080i or 720p
HD video. Simultaneous SD video out (crop, squeeze or
letterbox) is available simultaneously but requires an
additional Cat. 5 cable and two Vaddio Quick-Connect boxes.
The WallVIEW PRO system also has many new features, including a unique IR forwarding system which
allows the user to forward IR commands from third party IR remote controls, through the WallVIEW system to
a third party device. Like all Vaddio WallVIEW systems, the Wall Mount and mounting hardware is included.

INTENDED USE

Before installing the Vaddio WallVIEW PRO Z330 Camera System, please read the entire manual thoroughly.
All Vaddio camera systems were designed for use indoors. Outdoor operation is not recommended, has not
been tested, and could damage the camera and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition. Use only

the Vaddio PowerRite power supply provided.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The information contained in this manual will help you install the Vaddio WallVIEW PRO systems. For
reference, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product
drawings for the Vaddio product line on the website. These documents can be downloaded from

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 (three cables are required). 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 Wall Mount for the WallVIEW Z330 can be mounted directly to a 3-gang wall box or can be mounted

to the drywall using four dry wall anchors.

Wiring Diagram Example:

Figure 2: Basic connectivity of the WallVIEW PRO Z330 System.
The WallVIEW PRO Z330 uses a Cat. 5 (all 4-pairs) for power to ensure the direct drive 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
RS-232 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

Daisy Chain Control Configuration:

The WallVIEW PRO Z330 has provisions for daisy chaining control signals when using a RS-232 controller
with only one (1) RS-232 output. Each WallVIEW PRO EZIM has a RS-232 input and a RS-232 output (see
Figure 3).

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:

After determining the optimum location of the camera system, route the required 3 (three) Cat. 5 cables from
the camera to the Quick-Connect Pro interface located at the head-end. The three Cat. 5 cables should
feed-through the oval slot located on the rear flange of the wall mount (Figure 4). If the bracket is to be
mounted on a 3-gang wall box, use the screws supplied with the wall box cover plate to attach the Wall
Mount. If mounting to the drywall with wall anchors, use four (4) quality wall anchors. The mounting holes

are slotted and are 90° opposing to provide easy leveling. Level the mount and tighten the mounting screws.

Figure 4:

Wall Mount with oval cable feed-through hole.
The wall mount may be mounted directly to a
3-gang wall box or to the dry wall with the
appropriate wall anchors.

Note: Z330 Wall Mount looks slightly different

Step 3:

Connect the 25-pin end of the break out cable to the EZIM. Next, mount
the EZIM to the back of the wall mount on the left side, using the two
tapped screw holes (see Figure 6). Connect the 15-pin video cable,
power connector and 8-pin mini-DIN connectors (VISCA IN is labeled)
from the EZIM to the back of the camera.

)

Step 4:

Attach the Cat. 5 cables for Power, Video and Control to the EZIM and feed the excess Cat. 5 cabling into
the wall opening or wall box.

Step 5:

Place the camera onto the camera mount and using the ¼”-20 screw to secure the camera to the mount.

Step 6:

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 Figure 6.

Connectivity

Step 6 (continued):

Attach the Cat. 5 cables for Power, Video and Control to the Quick-Connect PRO interface. Connect the HD
video output BNC connectors. Connect the PowerRite 36 VDC power supply to the Quick-Connect PRO
power input. Please check all Cat. 5 cables for continuity in advance of final connection.

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:

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 IR remote control or RS-232 camera controller of the integrators’ choice. 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.

Step 8: Setting the IR Pass-Through Adjustment (optional)

The PRO system is capable of transmitting IR signal frequencies between 25 to 45 kHz. Connect the IR
output from the Quick-Connect PRO to either the IR input on a third party device or a Xantech™ IR probe
(compatible models: 282MRP or 283M). See Figure 7 for terminating cable termination of the Xantech probe.
NOTE: Vaddio has tested compatibility of the IR forwarding with Sony, Vaddio, Polycom and TANDBERG
remote controls.

NOTE:
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 Z330 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, 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

The IR Gain adjustment is factory set for distances below 300 feet (91.4 meters),

WARRANTY INFORMATION
Hardware* Warranty - One year limited warranty on all parts. Vaddio warrants this product against defects

in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the day of purchase from Vaddio. If Vaddio
receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, they will, at their option, repair or replace
products that prove to be defective.

Exclusions - The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate

maintenance by the customer, customer applied software or interfacing, unauthorized modifications or
misuse, operation outside the normal environmental specifications for the product, use of the incorrect power
supply, improper extension of the power supply cable or improper site operation and maintenance.

Vaddio Customer service – Vaddio will test, repair, or replace the product or products without charge if the
