O VERVIEW :
The extraordinary Vaddio™ ClearVIEW™ HD-USB PTZ Conferencing
Camera system includes many of the features that you would expect out
of a professional PTZ camera, plus much more! The ClearVIEW HD-
USB is the world’s first broadcast-quality HD PTZ camera with USB 2.0
output, Ethernet streaming and analog component (YPbPr) outputs built
right into the camera. Simply plug the HD-USB camera directly into your
PC and there is no need for a separate capture device. The ClearVIEW
HD-USB uses standard USB 2.0 UVC drivers and no special USB
drivers require installation. As a result the HD-USB camera works
seamlessly with any software application running on any OS that
supports USB 2.0 devices. All this, and the ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ
cameras are made in the USA.
The ClearVIEW HD-USB combines impressive performance with an
equally impressive feature set. Using the U n i v e r s a l V i d e o C l a s s
( UVC) standard drivers for USB 2.0 video, the HD-USB camera is a
plug and play PTZ camera for Unified Communications soft client
conferencing systems such as Skype®, Google+, Jabber® and Lync®,
which offers a vast improvement over the “inexpensive webcam”
systems available today.
.
The HD-USB is a high definition conferencing camera suitable for the small, medium or even the largest
conferencing space available. The HD Zoom lens allows HD-USB to capture a wide angle of view (58.1°) to view
everyone at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2°) in a larger room.
The HD-USB PTZ Camera was released with two (2) major software releases with several intermediate releases.
Release 1.0 allowed USB 2.0 streaming now with the 2.0 software, the ClearVIEW HD-USB will also support
H.264 video streaming. It has a built in Ethernet network interface where both IP control with a built-in web server
and IP streaming can be initiated directly from the camera. It supports either RTSP or HLS streaming protocols.
The software is easily upgradeable in the field.
The motorized zoom lens offers 19X optical zoom and is built around a 1/3-Type Sony® Exmor, progressive scan,
high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor with a total of 1.3 Megapixels for precise and vibrant HD color video
images. The HD-USB achieves improved picture quality even in low light environments requiring a minimum
illumination rated at an amazingly low 0.7 LUX (F1.6 - 50IRE).
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the
one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
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,

Use only the power supply provided with the 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/or locking up. For best results please use standard RJ-45
connectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.
