WEBBi - Web Controller 

 

Vaddio WEBBi - Web Controller - Document Number 342-0445 Rev B                                                                                    Page 4 of 24 

 

Overview 

The WEBBi is an inexpensive room A/V control 
system for use with the EasyUSB Tools product 
family.  The WEBBi is a complete room control 
system for the EasyUSB™ Tools devices including 
EasyMic™ MicPODs, EasyUSB Mixer/Amp, 
ClearVIEW™ HD-USB PTZ Camera and 
AutoPresenter™ products.  Simply connect to the 
WEBBi’s web server with a PC browser and 
control the room’s camera, display and audio.   
 
The WEBBi control functions are intended to be used with any device equipped with a web browser and internet 
access providing an intuitive user interface for control of the room audio and video devices.  An embedded web 
server serves the room’s user interface control page to a connected client like a PC, tablet, or smartphone.   
 
The room UI includes interactive user controls for room audio volume, microphone mute, camera PTZ and preset 
execution, and LCD display power control via IR probe.  The WEBBi is easily configured from administration 
pages allowing the installer the flexibility to select Vaddio EasyUSB devices used in application, communication 
interfaces, and button labeling.     
 
 

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, 
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.  Do not connect Ethernet or 
Power over Ethernet (POE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may result. 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Save These Instructions: 

The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product.  If these instructions are 
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product 
drawings for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website.  These documents can be downloaded from 

www.vaddio.com

 free of charge. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

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 locking up.  For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors 
and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.
