Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI - SR Interface Overview
The Vaddio Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI -
SR Interface was designed and built
specifically to advance the Vaddio HD-18
camera into a wide variety of digital video
and extended control applications.
The Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI is a
perfect complement to the Vaddio HD-18
because it takes advantage of the superb
flexibility of the camera’s video system
and incorporates Vaddio’s EZCamera™
cabling system using two (2) Cat 5e
cables to transport Video, Power and
Control, to and from the camera and
interface. Simply put, these products
were designed and manufactured as a
pair from the beginning.
The active electronics built-in both the HD-18 and the Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI deliver high definition
video using high speed differential signaling (HSDS) for the video and IR signals. HSDS is at the core of
Vaddio’s Category 5 cabling systems and provides high definition video capability (up to 1080p/60) with
superior video quality over cabling distances up to 100’ (30.48m).
The Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI has many new features including simultaneous analog component video
(YPbPr) and digital video outputs (DVI-D or HDMI with the HDMI adapter cable option) on separate
connectors which is ideal for multiple monitoring and large projection systems. Extended control functions
include Daisy Chain Control Emulation (DCCE™) which allows single control port codecs to control
multiple HD-18 cameras, and IR forwarding in modulated and non-modulated formats for extending the
reach of the IR remotes included with today’s most popular videoconferencing systems.
Intended Use:
Before operating the system, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built
and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply. The use of a power supply other than
the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the camera and/or create a
potentially unsafe operating condition.

Use only the power supply provided with the Quick-Connect system. Use
of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” or “EZ” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru
type connectors do not work well for professional installations and can be the
cause of intermittent connection which usually results in the RS-232 control line
failing (locking up). For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors for
and test all cables for proper pin-out prior to termination.
