OVERVIEW
The Vaddio WallVIEW CCU 300 (Figure 1) is built around the
Sony BRC-300 standard definition PTZ Camera. The
WallVIEW CCU 300 allows the user to control the color output
of the camera’s image sensor, through both Red and Blue
Gain knobs, as well as Iris and Gain levels and Aperture, to
provide a higher quality image. The system uses high speed
differential signaling (HSDS), an active transmission system
that delivers low-loss, high-quality video over CAT-5 cabling
distances up to 500 feet. The WallVIEW CCU 300 system is
capable of standard definition (SD) resolutions in a variety of
screen configurations to fit most monitors. The BRC-300 is
offered in either NTSC or PAL formats.
The WallVIEW CCU system also has many new features, including Tally illumination on the camera which
allows the presenter to know which camera is live, as well as Genlock delivered to the camera over CAT-5.
Other new features include the ability to store settings on two discrete Scene buttons, and buttons for Auto
White Balance, One Push White Balance and Auto Iris. Like all Vaddio WallVIEW systems, the Thin Profile
Wall Mount and mounting hardware is included.
