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).

Step By Step Quick-Connect USB Installation Instructions:
Step 1: After determining the optimum location of the camera; route, mark and test the two (2) Cat-5 cables from
the camera to the Quick-Connect USB Interface located at the head-end. Follow the mounting instructions
included with the camera package.
Step 2:
Set the desired HD Resolution with the rotary selection switch on the camera. NOTE: For best results with USB
2.0 streaming, select video resolution position “0” (720p/59.94). MJPEG is limited to 720p, so starting higher only
adds a layer of scaling. Position “0” also works well with IP streaming...so please try position “0”.
Step: 3: Follow the sample wiring diagram for connecting the Cat-5 cables to the cameras and Quick-Connect
USB Interface (Diagrams on the page 8, 9 and 10, but read and understand the rest of these instructions
especially the next note).
NOTE: Check all Cat-5 cables for continuity in advance of the final connection. Label the
Cat-5 cables. Plugging the EZ POWER HD VIDEO cable into the wrong RJ-45 may cause
damage to the camera system and void the warranty. Pay attention to maximum Cat-5
cabling distance per camera type.
Step 5: Connect the supplied 24 VDC, 2.0 Amp power supply to a power outlet and to the Quick-Connect USB
Interface. The Quick-Connect USB will initialize, Power will travel down the EZ-POWER VIDEO Cat. 5 cable to
the camera. The camera will boot up and in a few seconds, differential HD video will travel back down the Cat-5
cable to the Quick-Connect USB. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information
from the IR remote control or RS-232 camera controller, however it is always best to choose and use IR or RS-
232 and not both concurrently. If connected to the Network, the Quick-Connect USB will display the Hardware
(HW) MAC Address and the IP address.
Controlling the Quick-Connect USB:
RS-232 Control: An API is provided for control of the cameras over RS-232 through the Quick-Connect USB.
The camera RS-232 commands are in the back of this manual).
Telnet Control: The cameras can be controlled through the Quick-Connect USB via Telnet session. These
exciting commands are listed at the back of the manual.
Built-in Webserver Control: The Quick-Connect USB has a built-in webserver that auto-loads the control
protocols of the Vaddio camera attached (pretty cool huh?). Full camera controls including CCU image controls
are available from any approved browser on any computer. The IP address is always displayed on the front
panel display of the Quick-Connect so access to the internal webpages is super accessible and easy.
Quick-Connect USB Details
The Quick-Connect USB interface is a Cat-5 camera interface and an IP or USB 2.0 streaming appliance with a
built-in webserver for camera set-up and control. The Quick-Connect USB Interface uses UVC (Universal Video
Class) drivers for USB 2.0 video 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/drivers, other than
the application is required.

I NTERNAL W EB P AGES AND C ONTROL
The internal web pages will allow control of the Quick-Connect USB and control of the attached 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!
DHCP IP 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 QC-USB software is defaulted to DHCP and 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.
Static IP Set-up:
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 connection to a computer. The
default address of the QC-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

The QC-USB webserver is intended as a user’s camera control page at one level, and an administrator’s
management tool at another level, which requires password authentication for access.
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 User name is blank and 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 Camera Control page.
Defaults:
User name is blank
(assigned by admin)
Password is: password
Admin name is: admin
Password is: password

1) Pan, Tilt and Home Controls: These intuitive controls use the up/down arrows for camera tilt, the left/right
arrows for camera pan and the center button to move the camera to the home position. These controls are
not functional with the ZoomSHOT or WideSHOT cameras
2) Zoom Control: The camera’s zoom lens can be controlled with the “+” to zoom-in and the “-“to zoom out.
This control works with the PowerVIEW, ClearVIEW and ZoomSHOT, but the manual lens on the WideSHOT
can’t be controlled.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - USB 2.0 or IP Streaming Mode Page
1) Streaming Mode: Streaming can be set for either USB 2.0 streaming (MJPEG) or IP streaming (H.264); but not both at
the same time. The QC-USB can stream USB and accept IP control, or it can IP stream with IP control. Choose the
streaming mode here.
2) USB Device Name: Allows the user to use a “friendly name” per system. In a BYOD format, the user has the ability to
move between different UC conference rooms and have the ability to assign the PC’s USB resources to that room.
3) Color Space: The UVC drivers will negotiate the color depth, but this parameter allows the user 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
vibrant and precise.
4) IP Streaming Settings: The Video Settings allow the selection of the target performance for the IP Streaming. The QC-
USB is set up for a variable bit rate and the user can select the video resolution and the quality, such as High Quality
(Best), Standard Quality (Better) and Low Bandwidth (Good). Every effort to eliminate stupefyingly bad combinations with
the 5 or 6 parameters that make up the image size, quality, bit rate, bandwidth 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.
5) Streaming Protocol and URL: Admin chooses 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.
When finished setting up the streaming parameters click Save to put the changes into effect or cancel, which will not save
the configuration.
