3) See “Connectivity Example 1” on page 6. This is the basic two (2) Cat. 5e cable system where Power
is sent to the camera and HD Video is returned from the camera on one Cat. 5e (blue line) and RS-
232 control communication and IR feed-through is returned from the camera (dashed grey line). After
securing the mount to the wall/wall box and the camera to the mount with the supplied ¼”-20 screw.
a. Connect the first Cat 5e cable from the EZCAMERA POWER & HD VIDEO RJ-45 jack on the
Quick-Connect to the EZ POWER VIDEO RJ-45 jack on the back of the camera
b. Connect the 2 nd Cat 5e cable from the RS-232 CONTROL “TO CAMERA” port to the RS-232
IN/IR OUT jack on the back of the HD-18 camera. Connect the control source (i.e. Vaddio’s
Precision Camera Controller, ProductionVIEW HD, ControlVIEW™ XHD, AutoPresenter™
etc…) to the RS-232 CONTROL INPUT.
c. Connect the DVI-D output to a DVI-D video device (or HDMI with a DVI-D to HDMI adapter
cable - sold separately) and/or connect the YPbPr output to a different video destination
device. Both the DVI-D and the YPbPr are live images at the same resolution which is set at
the camera. The only difference is that the DVI-D signal is digital and the YPbPr is analog.
Both are capable of 1080p/60Hz.
d. Check all Cat 5e cables for proper connection and check the cables for continuity in advance
of final connection. Please do not use the “feed-thru” or “EZ” type RJ-45 connectors for
professional installations (see page 3 for Important Safeguards).
Note: Plugging the EZCAMERA POWER & HD VIDEO Cat 5e cable into the wrong
RJ-45 may cause damage to the camera system and void the warranty
.
4) Connect the 24VDC, 2A power supply to the Quick-Connect and plug it into the wall once all the
connections have been checked. The camera will “HOME” to a centered position. To ensure
proper continuity of control and operation of the cameras, the RS-232 controller (control system,
codec or joystick) should be powered ON after all of the cameras.
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 cable 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 price list or website for Tech Notes on the HD-
18 page on specific diagrams for wiring the camera to videoconference codecs.
Remember to always power up the cameras before booting up the codec.
Daisy Chain Configurations/Installation Instructions:
In some cases, Daisy Chain control situations
can’t be avoided. Because of this, Vaddio added “Daisy Chain Control Emulation” or DCCE™ to the
Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI - SR Interface in order to use the HD-18 camera in these situations. See
Connectivity Example 2 (previous page) where the codec requires daisy chain control wiring.
1) For Daisy Chain control, first complete steps 1 through 3-d, since all the cabling between the cameras
and the Quick-Connect is the same.
2) Instead of running a cable from the 1 st camera to the 2 nd camera, run a Cat 5e patch cable from the
1 st Quick-Connect interface RS-232 CONTROL DAISY CHAIN RJ-45 jack to the 2 nd Quick-Connect
RS-232 CONTROL INPUT jack. Within the VISCA® like protocol that the codec and the HD-18’s
use, the 1
st in the chain will set up as Camera #1 and the second will set up as Camera #2 in the
chain allowing the codec IR Remote to Select which camera it will switch to and which to control.
a. In the case of TANDBERG Codecs, the IR Modulated Output of the Quick-Connect and a
Xantech IR emitter (282D or 283D) attached to the front panel of the codec (in front of the IR
receiver).
b. Polycom Codecs with IR receivers can connect the IR Feed Through the same way as the
TANDBERG, but do not use daisy control. Several Polycom codecs can also be connected
directly with the non-modulated signal to the codec’s IR signal input port.
