The Quick-Connect USB (QC-USB) Interface for Vaddio cameras is the most flexible video, power and control camera interface available on today's market. This robust system uses the Vaddio EZCamera™ Cabling system and uses two Cat-5 cables to provide power, return HSDS™ video and extends RS-232 control signaling to the camera up to a distance of 150' (45.72m).
The Quick-Connect USB was designed to have multi-format digital and analog video outputs, it's compatible with all existing and forthcoming Vaddio cameras, and like all other Vaddio interface products, it's an entirely unique interface that is easy to use and represents a tremendous value for integrators and end users alike.
Starting with the front panel, the backlit LCD is an ODV (omni-directional view), ABN (advanced black nematic) type of display that achieves superior front screen performance while offering a high contrast and wide viewing angle combined with high visibility.
The LCD will display the MAC (HW for Hardware) and IP addresses allowing for easy access to the internal webpages and camera settings for a PC or BYOD (bring your own device - laptop or tablet) over the network. The QC-USB has a front panel system reset switch as well as LED indicators on the front panel to show if the system is streaming USB 2.0 (UVC) MJPEG, IP (H.264) video or if the network is in general use (see images).
The QC-USB rear panel includes the USB 2.0 connection and the Ethernet 10/100 connection to provide for USB 2.0 streaming or IP video streaming and IP control. The USB 2.0 uses the standard UVC (Universal Video Class) drivers built-in to the OS of the computer, which means that no pesky programs or additional drivers and the associated headaches are required. Any compatible UC client using UVC drivers can be used (see compatible UC program list). The system also streams IP video (H.264) and supports both RTSP and HLS (HTTP Live Streaming,
Apple's variant on HTTP streaming). An embedded web server provides for browser-based access of robotic camera controls, camera presets and rudimentary CCU functions (color and shading/painting controls) as well as the video configuration web pages. Analog and HDMI video outputs are also included and output the same video resolution that is sent from the camera simultaneously. The USB and IP resolutions are independent from the standard HD video outputs. The EZ-Power Video and RS-232 jacks are on RJ-45's and are cabled to the corresponding RJ-45 connections on the Vaddio cameras. The RS-232 IN is supplied to connect a camera controller or control system if needed.
