O VERVIEW :
The heart of the WallVIEW HD-USB PRO camera system is the
Vaddio ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Conferencing Camera. The
WallVIEW HD-USB PRO System includes many of the features
that you would expect out of a WallVIEW branded product. The
ClearVIEW HD-USB is the world’s first broadcast-quality HD PTZ
camera with USB 2.0 output, Ethernet (control & streaming) and
analog component (YPbPr) outputs built right into the camera.
Simply plug the HD-USB camera directly into a PC. There is no
need for a separate capture card or infuriating device drivers.
The ClearVIEW HD-USB uses standard USB 2.0 UVC drivers
and needs no special USB drivers for installation and/or
headaches in general. As a result the WallVIEW HD-USB
camera works seamlessly with any software application running
on any OS that supports USB 2.0, RTSP and HLS streaming. All
this, and the HD-USB PTZ cameras are made in the USA too.
The ClearVIEW HD-USB camera combines impressive performance with an equally impressive feature set. The
HD-USB camera is a plug and play device for Unified Communications soft client conferencing systems such as
Skype®, Jabber®, Vidyo® and Microsoft Lync® and offers a vast video performance improvement over the
“inexpensive webcam” systems available today.
The HD-USB is a high definition conferencing camera suitable for the small, medium or even the largest
conferencing space available. The HD zoom lens allows HD-USB to capture a wide angle of view (58.1°) to view
everyone at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2°) in a larger room.
The motorized zoom lens offers 19X optical zoom and is built around a 1/3-Type Sony® Exmor, progressive scan,
high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor with a total of 1.3 Megapixels for precise and vibrant HD color video
images. The HD-USB achieves spectacular picture quality in low light environments requiring a minimum
illumination rated at an amazingly low 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE).
The WallVIEW HD-USB PRO system includes the HD-USB camera, a Thin Profile Wall Mount, the Extreme USB
2.0 Extenders to allow the USB extension on Cat-5 cable up to 328.1’ (100m), the Vaddio Power Extension
Module for extending power over Cat-5 cable to the camera and all the USB 2.0 cables, power supplies and
mounting hardware that are required to install the WallVIEW HD-USB PRO system.
Soft Ware Notes
The Release 2.0 Firmware allows the ClearVIEW HD-USB to support H.264 IP streaming or USB 2.0 (UVC)
video streaming. It has a built in Ethernet network interface for both IP control and IP streaming The HD-USB will
support either RTSP or HLS IP streaming protocols. The software is easily upgradeable in the field over the
Ethernet port.
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. To reduce the risk of electric shock,

ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Conferencing Camera
Diagram: Rear View Connectors with Feature Call-outs:
Connectors and Functions:
1) 12 VDC Input: Power input on EIAJ-04 connector for local power.
2) HD Video Select: A rotary switch that allows the user to choose the component HD output video resolution
and format. All USB 2.0 UVC resolutions are derived from 720p/59.94. The USB 2.0 processor can accept
rotary positions 0 through 6. Please see the sections on available resolutions and concurrent resolutions
when using USB 2.0 and analog component outputs.
3) Camera Settings (Dip Switch Settings): Settings for IR remote frequency, baud rate, SD output format, and
image flip, test bars can be configured on these switches.
4) RS-232 IN & IR Out: The upper RS-232 Port is not implemented on the HD-USB Camera. Use the RS-232
Port on the lower card ONLY.
5) YPbPr Output: Component HD video is fed through the DE-15 connector (HD-15 for the shell sized
challenged). YPbPr and Composite signals are simultaneous. Note: This is an HD camera and the SD
signals are down converted and are really not the sweet spot of this camera. This is a courtesy feature only.

Connectors and Functions (continued)
6) Composite Video (CVBS) Output: The CVBS output feeds out SD video signals and is configurable with
the dip switches to choose between 480i/NTSC or 576i/PAL in 4:3 formats. Squeeze and letterbox modes
are also available (see dip switches).
7) EZ POWER VIDEO Port: Use the RJ-45 EZ POWER VIDEO port with the Power Extension Module. The
Power Extension Module sends DC power over pins 1 & 2 to power the HD-USB camera for up to 150’
(45.72m). In the Case of the WallVIEW HD-USB SR system, the limitation is the USB 2.0 Extension Cable,
which extends USB 2.0 only 65’ (20m).
8) 5 VDC Output: The 5 VDC output is on an EIAJ-03 connector was added to supply power to the active
Extreme USB Extender transmitter side. The receiver side is powered by the computer’s USB port or
powered USB Hub.
9) USB 2.0 Connector: The USB 2.0 is on a type-B Female and attaches to a PC running a soft-client video
conferencing system or video capture software that uses UVC (USB Video Class) standard drivers. No other
drivers are required to plug the HD-USB into a computer and have it work. The UVC drivers will auto
negotiate the top resolution that the PC and HD-USB Camera can accomplish together and auto implement
it, and bob’s your uncle.
Note: Please do not use USB 1.1 cables.
10) Settings Rotary Switch: The Settings rotary switch is essentially for future applications. Leave this switch
on position “0” for normal operation. Position “C” is used for a reset to factory defaults. To reset the camera
and erase all the stored internal data, place this switch on “C” and power cycle the camera. Move the switch
to “0” again for normal operation.
11) Ethernet 10/100 Port (H.264 Streaming Active with Firmware Release 2.0.x): The network port has
green and yellow LEDs that indicate ready and usage states. The port allows for access to the internal web
pages for camera set-up and control. The network port will stream (unicast) H.264 video (from CIF up to and
including 1080p/30). IP Streaming supports RTSP and HLS formats.
12) RS-232 Port: The RS-232 Port allows external control systems to engage a rudimentary API. Basic
functions include pan, tilt zoom, on/off etc. The functions on the Vaddio IR Remote Commander are mirrored
in the API. Most control is expected to come from the internal web page via Ethernet or Telnet.
13) Permanent USB Resource Slot Card: The lower row of connectors and the brains of the HD-USB Camera
are located on this permanent slot card. The card is not removable and is not compatible with any other
Vaddio camera. Please do not try to remove this card at any time.

Getting Started
Step 1: Using the HD Video Select Rotary Switch and Camera Settings Dip Switch on the back of the camera, set up
the camera’s output resolution and functional preferences. A reference label is on the bottom of the camera.
Switch Setting Label on Bottom of the HD-USB Camera:
Step 2: For the best USB 2.0 video, set the HD VIDEO SELECT rotary switch to “0” (720p/59.94) on the HD-USB
Camera. All USB 2.0 UVC resolutions are derived from 720p/59.94. The USB 2.0 processor can accept rotary
positions 0 through 6, but please be aware that if 1080p/30 is scaled down to 320 x 180, well let’s just say…the
image will look much better if the PC scales from 720p than from 1080p (see note below).
Please Note: When using 1080p as the input, very low USB 2.0 resolutions such as 352 x 240
and 320 x 180 will either not look so good, won’t work or the user may really wish they didn’t work
due to how far the signal is scaled/smashed/squeezed down by the PC from the original input.
Please use 720p or position “0” for the lower resolutions. Always start from a HD resolution
closest to what the UC client wants to send and display.
Other Notes:
For concurrent USB 2.0 and Analog Component (YPbPr), switch settings 0 through 6 are the resolutions that
can be both digital (USB 2.0 or H.264) and Analog (YPbPr). These resolutions are the most used resolutions
for HD video in both HD videoconferencing and broadcast.
For Analog (YPbPr) output, all of the HD VIDEO SELECT switch settings will operate.
The Composite output on the BNC connector is independent from the USB 2.0 / IP resolutions. The SD
settings and are formatted by dip switches 5, 6 and 7.
Step 3: Choose the IR frequency (1, 2 or 3) on the camera for use with the IR Remote Commander. Since only
one USB camera can be plugged into a PC at a time, recommended default is Freq. 1 (dip switches 1 & 2 up).

Step 4: Leave the IR out OFF (up) as default.
Step 5: Use 9600bps for control speed as default.
If the camera has been inverted, then set the Image Flip to ON, otherwise leave it off.
The test bars are really, really, totally non-standard (horizontal - just to mess with the old-timers) and will
override the video output. These test bars are 75% IRE. Use the test bars for…testing (kind of obvious).
The HD-USB camera uses UVC drivers and does not require the loading of any other drivers to run on the PC.
As long as the operating systems and soft-client software support UVC drivers, no additional software, other than
the application, is required.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL THE WALLVIEW HD-USB PRO CAMERA SYSTEM
Step 1: Locating the Camera
Locate the camera mounting position 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. Pick a
mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera.
Like all Vaddio WallVIEW systems, the WallVIEW HD-USB PRO is easy to
install and operate. The product was specifically designed with Cat-5 cable
connectivity for the extension both the power and USB 2.0 signals.
Step 2: After determining the optimum location of the camera system, run two (2) Cat-5 or better cables (if using
both the Extreme USB 2.0 Extenders and the Power Extension Module) from the computer location to the camera
location. Using both extenders together will limit the overall Cat-5 cable distance to distance to 150’. If using the
Extreme USB 2.0 Extenders alone with local camera power, the a single Cat-5 cable can be run up to 328.1’
(100m) between the extenders TX and RX units. Make sure to mark and test the Cat-5 cable(s) and use any real
RJ-45 crimper and connectors using the 568B straight-through wiring standard. Please do not use the “feed-thru”
type RJ-45 connectors for professional installations.
Step 3: Using the Thin Profile Wall Mount directions, install the mount. If mounting to the drywall with wall
anchors, use four (4) quality wall anchors. Make sure to level the mount and tighten the mounting screws.
Step 4: Connect the Cat-5 cable to the EZ POWER VIDEO RJ-45 port on the back panel of the HD-USB camera.
Connect 1’ (305mm) USB 2.0 Cable Type-B Male into the USB Type-B Female on the back panel of the HD-USB
camera. Connect the Type-A Male into the Extreme USB 2.0 Extender TX unit’s Type-A Female jack. Plug the
USB CAT-5 cable into the RJ-45 Link Port of the TX Extender unit. With the supplied 1’ (305mm) EIAJ-03 to
EIAJ-03 power cable, connect one side to the 5 VDC supply on the camera and the other end to the Extreme
USB 2.0 TX Extender unit’s 5 VDC input. With the supplied Velcro, find a place on the back of the mount to
attach the USB extender and field dress the cabling to hide as much as possible.
NOTE: Check all Cat-5 cables for continuity in advance of the connection. Do not plug the
Power Extension Module Cat-5 cable into any other RJ-45 port but the EZ POWER VIDEO
port. There is 24 VDC Volts on Pins 1 & 2. Plugging into any other port may cause
damage to the camera system and void the warranty.
Step 5: At the Head-End
Plug the other end of the Power Extension Module’s CAT-5 cable into the RJ-45 port of the Power Extension

Step 6: Last Chance to check the wiring
After double checking the wiring, plug the 24 VDC power supply into the Power Extension Module and plug the
power supply into the power outlet. The HD-USB camera should home and also should be sending USB 2.0
MJPEG video to the computer.
Checking out the Installation:
A. On the RX and TX units, check that the Power, Host, and Link LEDs are on and that the Activity LED is
blinking. If the Link LED is permanently off, then the cabling between the LEX and REX unit is not installed
properly or is defective.
B. For Windows users (2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7), open Device Manager to confirm that the “Generic USB
Hub” has been installed.
C. For Mac OS X users, open the System Profiler to confirm that the “Hub” has installed correctly. In the left
hand column under Hardware, select “USB” and inspect the right hand panel. If the system has been
installed correctly, you should find it listed as a “Hub” under the USB High-Speed Bus/USB Bus.
Operating System Notes:
To open System Profiler in OS X: Open the Finder, select Applications, then open the Utilities
folder and double click on the System Profiler icon.
To open Device Manager in Windows 2000 or XP: Right click “My Computer” then select:
Properties >> Hardware tab >> Device Manager.
To open Device Manager in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Open the Start menu, right click on “Computer” then select: Manage >> Device Manager

Supported UVC Resolutions
The USB 2.0 UVC (Universal Video Class) video driver resolution table is basically an internal list of resolutions
available for the Host PC and the Camera to negotiate and use for the application. Typically, the highest
resolution possible between both the PC and camera is used. However, not all OS and application combinations
are typical. Some applications are assigned to a lower value, or the lowest resolution to purposely minimize the
bandwidth requirement. In order to avoid selection of the smallest resolution possible, the resolutions of 160 x
120 and 160 x 90 were removed from the camera due to the selection of the lowest resolution by some UC
Clients and because it looked sort of wicked awful (in some respects).

I NTERNAL W EB P AGES AND C ONTROL
The internal web pages will allow control of the HD-USB and allow the user to control the
camera via a network connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to
set security passwords, change the IP address, view diagnostics, access the firmware
upgrade page and more.
To access the HD-USB’s web pages, first include your Network Administrator for the network that the camera will
be placed. Access to the internal web pages can be achieved three ways for set-up of the HD-USB’s IP address
and other administrative functions.
DHCP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP).
If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server,
then the IP address, gateway and routing information will
automatically be assigned. The HD-USB software is defaulted to
DHCP.
The HD-USB will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using
DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no
DHCP server can be found.
To display the HD-USB’s IP Address:
1) Plug in the camera and let it go through the boot up procedure.
The IP Address will be displayed at the top and middle of the
screen for 15 seconds and then automatically turns off.
To see the IP address for longer than the 15 seconds at boot up, then…
2) Pick up the Vaddio IR Remote Commander and find the Data Screen button.
3) Press and hold the Data Screen button on the remote for 4 seconds.
4) The IP Address will appear on the display. The system is capable of
displaying and address up to 15 characters arranged in the format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default static IP address for the HD-USB camera is
169.254.1.1.
5) To turn off the IP Address display, press and hold the Data Screen button
for 4 more seconds or until the IP Address turns off.
Displaying the IP address for the network administrator is advantageous especially in
a network that is DHCP. It makes it easier to find the camera on the network and
assign addresses permanently within the DHCP protocol. Whatever protocols are
used, always have the network administrators available when attaching the HD-USB
camera to the Ethernet network.
Notes:
The Data screen button is also used for the Camera’s on-screen display
where many of the camera’s parameters can be set. It is easy to tell the
difference between these modes as one quick touch enters the OSD for
the camera and a four second press and hold displays the web address
and turns off the web address display.
The IP Address will be displayed on screen out of the composite video,
analog component video (YPbPr) and the USB output. It will display at
the top, middle of the screen to ensure that older 4:3 displays can show
the address as well as the prevalent 16:9 monitors.

Static IP Set-up:
It is highly recommended that the Network Administrator and/or network personnel are involved
on the Static IP set-up of the HD-USB camera. Please do not try to set the Static IP of the
camera without help from network personnel…please?
The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable.
Depending on the age of the computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same
for network or direct connect to a computer.
The default address of the HD-USB camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different
computer OS types all have their own way of doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the
same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the HD-USB are accessible.
Examples (directly connected to a computer for set-up):
For Windows XP Pro, the routine to get to the network settings is fairly simple. Click on the Start button > Control
Panels > Network Connections > Right Click Local Area Connection > click on Properties > click on Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) > click on Properties and IP Address and Subnet Mask numbers are displayed. It is best to
record the addresses that are in the computer so they can be re-assigned when the operation is finished. Enter
169.254.1.2 (which is the default address 169.254.1.1 plus 1) and Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 and click OK > and
then OK again. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Chrome) and enter http://169.254.1.1 and the
Log-in page will appear.
With Apple OS X (10.7 and above), the steps are a bit different but essentially the same…Go to > System
Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Configure IPv4: Manually > Enter in 169.254.1.2 and Subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 and click Apply. Bring up one of the approved web browsers (like Safari) and enter http://169.254.1.1
and the Log-in page will appear.
Windows 7 has its own set-up that is a bit different from Windows XP Pro, but similar in that the whole purpose of
the Static IP first time set up is to give the HD-USB PTZ Camera an address that can be used over and over
again by users or administrators to control the camera.
LOGIN Page:
The Login Page will appear if there
is a user name assigned by the
administrator.
Assigning a user name can limit
access to the admin menus by a
general user.
By default, the password for the
User account is: password.
The Administrator can set the name
and password for the User account.
If no user name is assigned, the
web page will automatically open to
the IP Control page.

Streaming: The Streaming Menu allows an administrator to set up the type of streaming, color depth, video
speed and quality, protocol and path.
The Streaming Menu:
1) The Streaming mode is set for either USB 2.0 streaming (MJPEG) or IP streaming (H.264); however the HD-USB
cannot do both at the same time. It can stream USB and accept IP control, or it can IP stream with IP control.
Choose the streaming mode here.
2) USB Image Settings allows the admin to set a “friendly” name allowing each system to have its own identity. This is
handy for a user that uses several rooms. It also allows the admin to reduce the color depth to 4:2:0, which is used
with the older/cheaper webcams and applications, where image quality is not as critical. The 4:2:2 color is used by
many applications that take advantage of the performance of the camera where the colors are more vivid.
3) The IP Streaming - Video Settings allow the selection of the target performance for the IP Streaming. The HD-USB
camera is set up for a variable bit rate, which is much simpler to use. The user can select the resolution and the
quality, such as High Quality (Best), Standard Quality (Better) and Low Bandwidth (Good). Every effort to eliminate
bad combinations with the 5 or 6 parameters that make up the image size, quality, rate etc… has been made, so
you can’t pick 1080p at a bit rate of 128Kbps, which would look totally wicked awful - and probably wouldn’t work
anyway.
4) The IP Streaming Protocol also allows the admin to choose the streaming type and the port number for RTSP. The
HLS port is always on 80. The supported protocols are RTSP and HLS (Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming). RTSP is
best for live applications, where HLS serves the Apple iOS devices and is better for playback due to the amount of
buffering the HLS has built-in. The Streaming URL auto populates and that path can be changed.
5) When finished setting up the streaming parameters, click on save to put the changes into effect or cancel
to……cancel it.
