WallVIEW HD-USB SR Camera System

O VERVIEW :
Based on the remarkable Vaddio ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ
Conferencing Camera, the WallVIEW HD-USB SR (SR stands
for short range) system includes the features that are expected
out of a WallVIEW branded product. The ClearVIEW HD-USB is
the world’s first broadcast-quality HD PTZ camera with USB 2.0
UVC (Universal Video Class) video output, IP streaming, internal
web pages for control and HD analog component (YPbPr)
outputs built right into the camera. Simply plug the HD-USB
camera directly into your PC and there is no need for a separate
capture cards or other devices to make it work. The ClearVIEW
HD-USB uses standard USB 2.0 UVC drivers, which means that
no special USB drivers, applications or associated headaches
are required. As a result, the HD-USB camera works seamlessly
with any software application running on any OS that supports
USB 2.0 video class or IP devices. All this, and the ClearVIEW
HD-USB PTZ cameras are made in the USA too.
The ClearVIEW HD-USB combines impressive performance with
an equally impressive feature set. The HD-USB camera is a
plug and play PTZ camera for Unified Communications soft client
conferencing systems such as Skype®, WebEx® Jabber® and
Lync® that offers a totally vast improvement over the
“inexpensive webcam” systems available today.
The HD-USB is a HD 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° wide end) to view everyone
at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2° tele end) in a larger room.
The motorized, multi-element, glass 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 improved picture quality even in low light
environments requiring a minimum illumination rated at an astonishingly low 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE).
Like the ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Camera, the ClearVIEW HD-USB will support USB 2.0 (UVC) and IP (H.264)
video streaming (with Firmware Release 2.0.x). The Ethernet network interface provides for both IP control (with
built-in web pages) and IP streaming. IP Streaming will support either RTSP or HLS streaming protocols. The
software is easily upgradeable in the field over the Ethernet port.
The WallVIEW HD-USB SR system includes the HD-USB camera, the CONCEAL camera mount, an active port-
powered 20m (65.6168’) USB 2.0 extension cable, 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 SR system.
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,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
WallVIEW HD-USB SR System with CONCEAL Mount
Use only the power supplies provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.
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 or shorts,
which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the
HSDS™ signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for

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.
Note: Use the

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.
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 share together and auto-implement it.
NOTE: Do not use USB 1.1 cable with the HD-USB Cable because it won’t work.
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 (nice). 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.
ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Conferencing Camera
Diagram: Front View with Feature Call-outs:
1) Zoom Lens and Image Sensor: The 19X optical zoom lens is
built around a 1/3-Type, high-speed, progressive scan CMOS
image sensor with a total of 1.3 Megapixels for precise HD video
image acquisition.
2) Blue Power Light: A Vaddio blue power light is illuminated
when the camera is turned on.
3) IR Sensors: IR sensors are built into the front of the HD-USB to receive IR signals from the IR remote
control supplied with the camera.
4) Red Tally Light: The red tally light is not used with the HD-USB
