Dip Switch and HD Video Output Resolution Setting Options for the ClearVIEW HD-18 Camera
Note:
The Test Bars are non standard, but are 75% YCbCr Color Bars and are intended as a
convenience for testing the signal path only.
• IR 1, 2 & 3: These settings, using switches 1 & 2, determine the IR frequency of the IR remote control
that was supplied with your camera. The IR remote has the capability of operating up to three different
PTZ cameras from one remote, using the selector buttons at the top of the remote.
• IR Out: The IR output is sent on the RJ-45, RS-232 jack on the back of the camera. Turning on the IR
output will allow IR signals to be transmitted over the CAT-5 cable.
• Baud Rate: The options for baud rate are either 9600 or 38,400 for RS-232.
• SD Output Frequency: Select either NTSC or PAL as the output for the camera’s SD signal that is
transmitted on the BNC connector.
• SD Output Size: Three options are available for the SD output, select from crop, squeeze or letterbox.
• Image Flip: Turing Image Flip on (switch down), will allow the camera to be inverted.
• Test Bars: Turning this switch on will override the camera video output and send test video bars from
the camera.
• Switch 10: This switch is unused, and should be left in the OFF position.
RS-232 Cabling
For RS-232, use a standard CAT-5 cable (568B termination for RJ-45 connectors) from the RS-232 port
on the back of a Vaddio ProductionVIEW camera controller or switcher. If the camera will be connected
to a third-party control system (such as AMX or Crestron), a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter is supplied with the
camera for RS-232.
Videoconference Codecs and RS-232
Depending on the codec that is used, and which RS-232 port is used with a codec, special DB-9 to RJ-45
adapters may sometimes be required. Refer to Vaddio’s website for Tech Notes on the ClearVIEW HD-
18 page on specific diagrams for wiring the camera to videoconference codecs. Any special adapters
and configuration information will be noted on the Tech Note.
