WallVIEW CCU HD-18 HD-SDI Overview
With the WallVIEW CCU HD-18 HD-SDI PTZ camera and CAT 5e cabling system, Vaddio delivers a
solution that allows for easy installation and integration and ultimate flexibility for the most demanding of
users. The camera is built around a 1.3 megapixel, 1/3” CCD with an 18x optical zoom lens, making it
the ideal choice for a wide range of high definition video applications. The HD-SDI output of the included
HD-SDI Slot Card can be configured as either HD (720p@59.94/50Hz, 1080i@59.94/50Hz or
1080p@60/59.94/50/30/250Hz (yep, it’s 3Gb/s capable for HD-SDI outs), or SD (480i/29.97 or 576i/25).
Because the camera module is built around a CCD image sensor, the HD-18 is excellent in low-light
situations, with a 1.8 LUX rating. In addition, the video signal to noise ratio output of the camera is
greater than 50dB, delivering clean, crisp, and clear video. The multi-element motorized zoom lens
allows WallVIEW CCU HD-18 HD-SDI to capture a wide angle of view (55.2°) enough to view everyone
at a conference room table, as well as capture an individual from a long distance (3.2°). The zoom range
provides greater flexibility for a wide variety of applications. The pan range of the HD-18 is ±170 and tilt
range is -30 to +90 degrees.
Vaddio’s Quick-Connect CCU Power and Control Interface and EZIM HD-SDI Slot Card are part of this
system. The CCU provides power and control up to 500 feet over two (2) CAT 5e cables. The CCU
allows users to control a variety of image controls built into the camera, including iris, red and blue gain,
pedestal, knee, gamma, chroma and gain. The HD-SDI/SDI signal with 3Gb/s compatible transmitter are
returned over a single coax cable. To summarize, the wiring out to this camera system is two (2) CAT 5e
cables and one coax.
The WallVIEW CCU HD-18 HD-SDI is an exceptional camera system for integration projects, since no
power supply is required at the camera location. Use the WallVIEW CCU HD-18 HD-SDI for high
definition camera applications, such as houses of worship, corporate boardrooms, live event production
and distance-learning.
