Overview:
Vaddio’s REVEAL IN-Wall PTZ cameras are the first in Vaddio’s
Architectural Series robotic camera products. The REVEAL was
designed to blend into high-end videoconference and presentation
rooms and the aesthetics match closely to that of flat screen
monitors in shape, color and finish. The REVEAL uses a Smart
Glass technology framing system which when activated, frosts the
front glass frame and shuts off the camera so there is no mistake
that the REVEAL is on or off. This ensures that conference
participants know what state the camera is in (on or off) which is
important in the high-end room system designs.
The REVEAL Smart Glass is composed of a liquid crystal matrix, laminated between ITO coatings and glass. When the
camera is turned on, the glass switches to its clear state, the camera homes and is ready for use. Vaddio also offers a
clear glass version of the REVEAL system.
Key features include the use of a 1/3-type, 1.3 Megapixel CCD image
sensor for crisp clear images, 1.8 LUX rating and 18X glass optical
zoom lens which works well in small or large rooms and lower light
environments. The REVEAL enclosure uses the depth of the wall
cavity eliminating the cameras extension into the room and the
REVEAL works with the Vaddio HSDS™ cabling standard for video,
power and control over Cat. 5 cabling. The REVEAL looks as good as
it does on the inside as the outside and provides superior HD video
images for wide range of HD applications.
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.
Save These Instructions:
The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your system. If these instructions are
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation, User Guides and the most pertinent product drawings on
the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from
www.vaddio.com
free of charge.
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 REVEAL 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™ differential video. For best results please use standard RJ-45
connectors and test all cables for proper pin-out prior to termination.
