OVERVIEW: 

The Vaddio™ CeilingVIEW HD CCU (Figure 1) is a high 

definition ceiling Document Camera designed for use with high 

definition videoconferencing codecs, HD monitors and 

presentation applications where image quality and resolution 

are critical.  The CeilingVIEW HD CCU can be configured for 

16:9 HD CCU resolutions of 1080i or 720p when using the 

analog component video outputs (Y/Pb/Pr), or with 4:3 standard 

definition video with Y/C and composite video outputs. 

Equipped with a 10X optical motorized zoom lens and 12X 

digital zoom range, the camera has a 120X total zoom 

capability. The 1/3” CMOS image sensor has approximately 2-

million pixels and provides precise edge focus.  The heart of the 

CCU system is its ability to adjust red and blue gain, aperture, 

as well as iris and gain of the Camera Module.   

Vaddio’s active cabling system uses high speed differential signaling (HSDS) for the video signals from the 

camera module to the Quick-Connect™ CV HD/SD interface as opposed to baluns.  HSDS gives this system 

high definition or standard definition video capability, superior video quality over CAT-5 cabling and the ability 

to adjust the video signal depending on the length of the cabling used.  The EZCamera series cabling system 

delivers either high definition or standard definition video up to 400 feet over standard CAT-5 cable.  The 

Quick-Connect CCU connects directly to the RS-232 port on the Camera Module.  RS-232 from an external 

device, such as Vaddio’s ProductionVIEW HD, or an external control system can be used in-line with 

CeilingVIEW HD CCU.     

The CeilingVIEW HD CCU is unmatched for price and performance as compared to other ceiling mounted 

document cameras available today.   

INTENDED USE: 

Before operating the CeilingVIEW HD CCU system, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The 

CeilingVIEW HD CCU Document Camera was designed, built and tested for use indoors and with the 

provided power supply. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not 

been tested and could damage the electronics and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 

The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your Vaddio CeilingVIEW HD.  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 website.  These documents can be 

downloaded from 

www.vaddio.com

 free of charge. 

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS: 

Read and understand all instructions before using.  Do not operate the system 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. 

Use only the power supply (or power supplies) provided with the CeilingVIEW.   Use 

of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties.
