Quick-Connect USB Interface
Quick-Connect USB, Document Number 342-0653 Rev. B Page 4 of 36
O VERVIEW :
The Quick-Connect USB (QC-USB) Interface for Vaddio cameras is the most flexible video, power and control
camera interface available on today’s market. This robust system uses the Vaddio EZCamera™ Cabling system
and uses two Cat-5 cables to provide power, return HSDS™ video and extends RS-232 control signaling to the
camera up to a distance of 100’ (30.48m) with PTZ motorized cameras and up to 150’ (45.72m) with ZoomSHOT
& WideSHOT stationary POV cameras.
The Quick-Connect USB was designed to
have multi-format digital and analog video
outputs, it’s compatible with all existing
and forthcoming Vaddio cameras, and like
all other Vaddio interface products, it’s an
entirely unique interface that is easy to
use and represents a tremendous value
for integrators and end users alike.
Starting with the front panel, the backlit
LCD is an ODV (omni-directional view),
ABN (advanced black nematic) type of
display that achieves superior front screen
performance while offering a high contrast
and wide viewing angle combined with
high visibility.
The LCD will display the MAC (HW for Hardware) and IP addresses allowing for easy access to the internal
webpages and camera settings for a PC or BYOD (bring your own device - laptop or tablet) over the network. The
QC-USB has a front panel system reset switch as well as LED indicators on the front panel to show if the system
is streaming USB 2.0 (UVC) MJPEG, IP (H.264) video or if the network is in general use (see images).
The QC-USB rear panel includes the USB 2.0 connection and the Ethernet 10/100 connection to provide for USB
2.0 streaming or IP video streaming and IP control. The USB 2.0 uses the standard UVC (Universal Video Class)
drivers built-in to the OS of the computer, which means that no pesky programs or additional drivers and the
associated headaches are required. Any compatible UC client using UVC drivers can be used (see compatible
UC program list). The system also streams IP video (H.264) and supports both RTSP and HLS (HTTP Live
Streaming, Apple’s variant on HTTP streaming).
An embedded web server provides for browser-based access of robotic camera controls, camera presets and
rudimentary CCU functions (color and shading/painting controls) as well as the video configuration web pages.
Analog and HDMI video outputs are also included and output the same video resolution that is sent from the
camera simultaneously. The USB and IP resolutions are independent from the standard HD video outputs. The
EZ-Power Video and RS-232 jacks are on RJ-45’s and are cabled to the corresponding RJ-45 connections on the
Vaddio cameras. The RS-232 IN is supplied to connect a camera controller or control system if needed.
Intended Use:
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. Outdoor operation or use of a different power supply has
not been tested and could damage the device and/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. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Use only the power supply 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 which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS (high
speed differential) signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all
cables for

Table: Quick Connect USB Rear Panel Dip Switch Settings
3) RS-232 IN: Serial RS-232 input on a RJ-45 connector. This control port allows a Vaddio joystick controller or 3
rd
party
controller (Crestron/AMX) to control the camera functions if the embedded webserver is not used for real time control.
4) RS-232 OUT TO CAMERA: Serial RS-232 output on RJ-45 connects via Cat-5 to the camera RS-232 input on the
camera. Control signals from the embedded webserver are sent via RS-232, or RS-232 from external controllers is
relayed to the camera over this control port.
5) EZ POWER VIDEO: RJ-45 jack used to supply 24 VDC power to the camera and return differential video from the camera
on Cat-5 cable at a maximum distance of 100’ (30.48m) with PTZ cameras and up to 150’ (45.7m) with stationary POV
cameras (i.e. ZoomSHOT and WideSHOT).
6) YPbPr Output: Analog component video output on a DE-15 (HD15) connector (resolution is set on the back of the
camera). The YPbPr output resolution will be the same as the HDMI output resolution. SD video resolutions (Y/C and
CVBS formats) are not supported by the Quick-Connect USB Interface; however some progressive frame analog
component SD video is supported.
7) HDMI Output: The digital video output on the HDMI connector can either be YCbCr color space (normal HDMI mode) or
can be changed to DVI-D color space (sRGB) for older monitors and devices. The HDMI and YPbPr outputs work
simultaneously and are the same resolution (set at the camera).
8) Ethernet 10/100 Network RJ-45 Jack: The Ethernet jack will have yellow and green lights to indicate connectivity and
activity of the network on that jack. The Ethernet jack will stream video (up to 1080p/30 H.264 and can be set from the
internal web pages much like the HD-USB Camera. The resolutions will available in a three (3) stage quality format (High
Quality, Good Quality and Standard Quality targets) and includes a range of CIF to 1080p/30.
9) USB 2.0 Connector: The USB 2.0 is on a Type-B female jack and connects to a PC running a soft-client video
conferencing system or video capture software that uses UVC (USB Video Class) standard drivers. No other USB 2.0
drivers are required to plug the QC-USB into a computer and have it work. The UVC drivers will auto negotiate the top
resolution that the PC and QC-USB can accomplish together and auto-implement.

V ADDIO C AMERA - F IRST T IME S ET - UP
The Vaddio cameras were designed to be very easy to use and operate. There is
documentation at the back of the camera manuals for pin-outs for the connectors
on cameras. The Quick-Connect USB pin-outs are in this manual’s appendix.
Before Installing the Camera (new install):
Choose the camera 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 nobody sits on the ceiling anyway.
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 cameras to the Quick-Connect
USB Interface.
All WallVIEW Systems include a wall mount with mounting hardware. For new installations, please follow the
instructions on mounting in the camera manual.
NOTE:
Cat-5 cabling distance for PTZ cameras is up to 100’ (30.48m).
Cat-5 cabling distance for stationary POV cameras (ZoomSHOT and WideSHOT is up to 150’ (45.72m).
