What's in this Guide

This guide covers

■ Unpacking
■ Physical features
■ Installation
■ System administration and performance/behavior configuration
■ Telnet API reference
■ Specifications
■ Troubleshooting
■ Warranty and compliance/conformity information

For your convenience, the information you need to install EasyIP products is available in the smaller, stand-alone Installation Guide for EasyIP AV-over-IP Systems.

The EasyIP Ecosystem

Vaddio® EasyIP products are designed to be used together, and have limited or no compatibility with other types of products.

■ EasyIP cameras deliver video in Vaddio's proprietary EasyIP format.
- An EasyIP host device (EasyIP Decoder or EasyIP Mixer) is required to convert the cameras' output signal to an IP and/or USB stream.
■ Only paired EasyIP cameras can be controlled by the EasyIP host device.
■ EasyIP host devices automatically detect EasyIP cameras on its own subnet.
■ Cameras are not required to be on the same subnet as the device that manages them.
■ EasyIP products require PoE+ power. Typically the EasyIP system is powered by a PoE+ switch.

EasyIP Decoder

The decoder is the central component of a basic EasyIP installation. Its functions include

■ Video – pair with up to four cameras at a time, control the active camera via web interface, and decode the camera's AV-over-IP signal.
■ Audio – connect two EasyMic microphones (CeilingMIC or TableMIC) and a speaker.
- USB streaming – configure for UVC-compliant or client-custom USB streaming for conferencing applications.

EasyIP Mixer

The mixer is the central component of a full-featured EasyIP pro AV room solution. Its functions include

■ Video – pair with up to four cameras at a time, control the active camera via web interface, and decode the camera's AV-over-IP signal.

■ Audio – two balanced audio inputs and outputs; pair with data products on your network – including up to four EasyIP microphones. Built-in audio mixer.

- USB streaming – configure for UVC-compliant or client-custom USB streaming for conferencing applications.

EasyIP Cameras

EasyIP cameras may be installed anywhere on the network. They require only a PoE+ power connection. An EasyIP Decoder or EasyIP Mixer is needed as a host device to decode the AV-over-IP signal.

Each camera may be paired to two host devices.

EasyIP Switch

A PoE+ switch simplifies installation, eliminating the need for PoE+ power injectors and placing all the connected products on the same subnet.

Don't Void Your Warranty!

Vaddio EasyIP Ecosystem Base Kit - Don't Void Your Warranty! - 1

text_image Three instructional illustrations showing hand positions: no stop, no hold, and hold with a green circle.

Caution

When handling cameras, always support the camera's body when lifting or moving it. Lifting the head or mounting arm will damage it.

Caution

EasyIP products are for indoor use. Do not install these products outdoors or in a humid enviro without the appropriate protective enclosure.

Caution

Do not install or operate any EasyIP product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to of these things happen, return the product to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.

Before You Start

Work with the network administrator to plan your EasyIP deployment. A typical EasyIP system includes network equipment.

Do these things before installing any Vaddio product:

■ Be sure you can identify all cables correctly.
■ Check Cat-5 cables for continuity.
■ Talk to the network administrator.
Inform the network administrator if you are installing the EasyIP system with a PoE+ switch. The Luxul switch sold as part of the EasyIP ecosystem is configured for DHCP operation. The network administrator may need to take steps to ensure a trouble-free installation.
- If you will be responsible for configuring the devices that you install, ask what hostnames (if any) you should assign to them.

Before Installing Cameras

Things to keep in mind when deciding where to install the camera:

  • Consider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted.
    ■ Ensure that the camera body can move freely and will normally point away from the ceiling and lights.
    The camera will not perform well if it is pointed toward a light source such as a light fixture or window.
    If the remote will be used, ensure that nothing blocks the IR lens in the camera's base.

Cabling Notes

The TableMIC is shipped with one Cat-5e cable to connect it to your conferencing installation.

The CeilingMIC is shipped with one Cat-5e cable to connect it to the interface box.

Caution

When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. Incorrectly crimped pass-through connectors can damage the connectors on the product, which will void your warranty.

Vaddio EasyIP Ecosystem Base Kit - Caution - 1
Intact – will make reliable contact with cable connector

Vaddio EasyIP Ecosystem Base Kit - Caution - 2
Damaged – Bent contact fingers will NOT make reliable contact with cable connector

Use Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool. If connectors are crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade signal quality.

Vaddio EasyIP Ecosystem Base Kit - Caution - 3

We recommend shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or routed near sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.

Caution

Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result damage and will void the warranty.

Pro Tip

Label all cables at both ends.

RS-232 Serial Communication Settings and Port Pin-outs

The EasyIP Mixer and EasyIP 20 camera have RS-232 serial ports (color-coded blue) to connect to a third-party controller.

Depending on the equipment connected to the RS-232 port, you may need a null-modem (crossover) cable.

Caution

Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result damage and will void the warranty.

Basic Connections - EasyIP Decoder

Here is an example of a simple EasyIP deployment. In this setup, an EasyIP Decoder manages up to four EasyIP cameras and provides hard-wired audio connections. A PoE+ switch provides power and network connectivity to the EasyIP products. The EasyIP Decoder connects directly to a computer as a USB conferencing device.

Vaddio recommends making all connections while the PoE+ switch is turned off.

If no PoE+ switch is used, a mid-span PoE+ power injector (sold separately) is required for each EasyIP device.

Note

EasyIP cameras require an EasyIP Decoder or EasyIP Mixer to decode the AV-over-IP signal and a USB stream.

The EasyIP Decoder is compatible with EasyIP cameras only. It does not detect or pair with other cameras.

Basic Connections - EasyIP Mixer

Here is an example of an EasyIP deployment using an EasyIP Mixer. In this setup, the EasyIP Mixer manages up to four EasyIP cameras and provides hard-wired audio connections for speakers. The EasyIP Mixer is paired to two network-connected EasyIP CeilingMIC D microphones. A computer connects to the system as a USB conferencing device and HDMI content source.

A PoE+ switch provides power and network connectivity to the EasyIP products. If no PoE+ switch is used, a mid-span PoE+ power injector (sold separately) is required for each EasyIP device.

The EasyIP Mixer is compatible with EasyIP cameras only. It does not detect or pair with other cameras.

Basic Connections – EasyIP Mixer with HDMI Input from EasyIP 20 Camera

The EasyIP Mixer can only decode one EasyIP stream at a time. To allow the EasyIP Mixer to use an EasyIP 20 camera as the PIP source while another EasyIP camera provides the main video, connect the EasyIP 20 camera's HDMI output to the EasyIP Mixer's HDMI In port. This camera can provide the PIP when any paired EasyIP camera is selected as the main video. When the HDMI-connected camera is selected as the main video, any paired EasyIP camera can serve as the PIP source.

Note

EasyIP 10 camera only: If the camera is jostled or bumped while it is connected to power, it m pan-tilt reset.

About Ceiling-Mounted Cameras

If you use an inverted mount, set the camera's Image Flip mode ON for inverted operation. This orients the video image correctly and sets the tilt motors to respond appropriately to tilt up and down commands from the remote, web interface, and connected control devices. This control is available to the administrator on the web interface's System page. See Inverting the Image for Ceiling-Mounted Cameras.

Powering Up the EasyIP System

Vaddio recommends making all connections while the PoE+ switch is turned off. To power the system, turn on the PoE+ switch.

■ The EasyIP Decoder's status light turns blue when the device is ready. The connected computer recognizes it as a USB peripheral.
- The EasyIP cameras initialize and move if they are powered from the same PoE+ switch. This will take a few seconds. When each camera's status light turns blue, the camera is ready to accept control information.
- The EasyIP Mixer's power light in the Reset button illuminates immediately when power is connected. The device's web interface is available after it finishes booting. This takes about 20 seconds.

Note

If a camera has already been in use and is paired with the host device, its indicator light may when it finishes booting. This happens if the camera is the selected video input and is using to color scheme. Pro A/V is the default color scheme for EasyIP 20 cameras.

Initial Set-Up and Access to Administrative Controls

Like other Vaddio products, EasyIP cameras and host devices have a web interface for initial device setup, administrative control, and operation. After initial device setup, the web interface provides password-protected pages for administrative access to tasks such as configuring network and security settings, customizing device behaviors, and installing firmware updates. The administrator can configure the operator's pages to be password-protected or not.

When any EasyIP product is shipped from the factory, no password is set and the administrative controls are not available. Initial device set-up includes setting the password for the admin account, and may include additional tasks.

Vaddio EasyIP Ecosystem Base Kit - Initial Set-Up and Access to Administrative Controls - 1

text_image Initial Device Setup Create an admin password Confirm the password Submit

Note

Because restoring factory defaults returns the product to a "like new" condition, you will need to initial device set-up again if you restore factory defaults.

After initial device set-up is complete, you will need to complete system administration tasks to define how each device behaves as an element of your network.

Browser Support

We have tested this product with these web browsers:

Chrome®

Pro tip

On the Groups page of the Vaddio Deployment Tool, you can create a group containing only the products.

To access EasyIP devices' web interfaces from the Vaddio Deployment Tool:

Select the device's IP address from any page where it appears. The Vaddio Deployment Tool logs you in to the web interface as admin.

Manual Access and Initial Device Set-Up

For EasyIP installations, you will need to start by completing the initial set-up for the device that manages the cameras. Then you can use the device to access the cameras' web interfaces.

For manual access and initial device set-up, the general process is:

  1. Discover the device's IP address and access its web interface.
  2. Complete the initial device set-up.
  3. Complete the initial system administration tasks.

Initial Access to the Web Interface

Before the product is configured, HTTP access is disabled. This is also true after restoring factory defaults. The Vaddio Deployment Tool and the Vaddio Device Controller use HTTPS.

If you browse to the web interface manually, you may encounter this message:

Vaddio EasyIP Ecosystem Base Kit - Initial Access to the Web Interface - 1

text_image HTTP Access Disabled HTTP has been disabled on this device. Please contact your IT administrator if you are having difficulties accessing this device from HTTPS. Switch to HTTPS

Switch to HTTPS if you see this message.

Expect a security warning from your browser the first time you access the device's web in Different browsers will respond with different messages and options. Your browser will probably present a message indicating one of these things:

■ The connection is not private
■ The site is not secure
■ The site is not trusted
■ The site poses a security threat

This is because the certificate (the product's website security credential) is self-signed rather than being issued by an external certificate authority. The HTTPS connection is secure and traffic is encrypted, however.

To proceed to the product's web interface, you will need to make the selections that your browser's security message discourages. The security warning page may present an option to learn more, view details, or go to the "Advanced" page. When you select the applicable option, your browser provides a button or link to continue to the IP address you entered, with a statement that it may be unsafe. Select this option. Your HTTPS connection is safe.

After you have accessed the product's web interface once, your browser remembers its IP address and will not present the security message again.

Access the Web Interface of an EasyIP Decoder or EasyIP Mixer Manually

You will need to discover the device's IP address so that you can browse to it. For this, you need a laptop with a media player application to view the USB stream from the device.

To discover the device's IP address:

  1. Connect the device's USB cable to your computer. Then power up the EasyIP system, if it is not already on.
  2. Open a media player such as VLC Media Player and view the USB stream from the device. (If you use VLC Media Player, this is the "Open Capture Device" option under Media.) The EasyIP device is identified by its model name as an available capture device or video source.
    The video output is blue or black until a camera or other video source is configured.

  3. Press the button marked IP or IP Address. The device's IP and MAC addresses are displayed on the video output.

If video input is available when you press this button, it is replaced by the device's information on a blue background.

  1. Press the button again to dismiss the information display.

To access the device's web interface:

System Administration

System administration tasks define how each device behaves on your network. Although you may change device passwords regularly, other system administration tasks are usually needed only when installing the equipment.

The tasks in this chapter must be done separately on each device.

Administrative tasks are on these pages of the web interface, shown in the lower portion of the left navigation panel:

■ Networking – Network configuration, time zone and NTP server
■ Security – Passwords, guest access, other IT security-related settings
■ Room Labels – Helpful information to display in the web interface

These pages are the same for virtually all Vaddio products.

Setting Passwords and Access

SECURITY PAGE

The Account Passwords and Web Server areas of the Security page provide basic security for the web interface:

  • Admin password – Required for access to the admin pages of the web interface and for Telnet access to the device.
  • User password – When set, allows password-protected, non-administrative access to the operator's web interface.
  • Guest access – When enabled, allows non-administrative access to the operator's web interface without a password.
  • Expire idle sessions – By default, the web interface automatically logs you out after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Caution

Be sure you have a way to remember passwords after changing them. If you are not using the Deployment Tool to manage the EasyIP devices, there is no way to reset a forgotten password EasyIP 10 camera. In this situation, you may need to return the camera to the factory.

Using Dante Devices with the EasyIP Mixer

The EasyIP Mixer is compatible with Dante audio products. These products connect to the EasyIP Mixer over the network.

To pair Dante devices to the EasyIP Mixer or other Dante-compatible Vaddio products, you will need to download and install the free Dante Controller application from Audinate Pty. Ltd.:

www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller

Things to know about Dante technology and the Dante Controller application:

■ Dante technology does not work over Wi-Fi.
- Dante Controller does not work across subnets. Your computer must be on the same subnet as the Dante devices you need to work with.
- Default device names and IP addresses shown in Dante Controller do not match the corresponding information shown in Vaddio devices' web interfaces. The Dante Controller application uses information from the devices' Dante chips, which receive their own IP addresses.
■ Dante Controller allows you to rename devices, so you can make their identifying labels match what's displayed in the Vaddio web interface. We recommend doing this.

Audinate provides the latest information, training, and documentation for Dante technology on their website. Information in this manual about Dante technology and Audinate products may be out of date.

Locating and Pairing to Dante Devices

The Dante chip in the EasyIP Mixer has its own IP address and device name. These do not the EasyIP Mixer's hostname and IP address in the web interface.

The screen shots in this section show a different product, "AVB2x1." The process for locating the Mixer and pairing it to Dante speakers and microphones is the same.

To physically locate Dante devices using the Dante Controller application:

  1. Open the Device Info tab to see the IP address and other information about each Dante device on the subnet that your computer is on.

  2. From the main Network View, select Device : Device View. The Device View window opens.

Note that EasyIP Mixer devices will show the IP address of the Dante chip, not device's web server IP address.

Pairing to More than Two EasyIP or Other Dante Microphones

In the examples that follow, we're working with a system that uses four Dante-connected microphones and a Dante-connected speaker. The system in the screen shots used an AV Bridge 2x1; the way it's configured in the Dante Controller application is exactly the same as it would be for an EasyIP Mixer.

Your devices will be labeled differently from the devices in these screen shots.

For this configuration to work properly, we will need to do these things:

  • Route audio from the host device to the speaker, and route the same audio to the microphones as their AEC reference. In the example set-up, this audio channel needs to be transmitted to five devices. To allow the signal to go to five places, we will need to set up a multicast flow.
    ■ Create two flows to route audio from the microphones back to the host device. Although the EasyIP Mixer has four Dante input channels, it is limited to two transmit flows and two receive flows. We will need to combine the four microphone channels into two flows.

About Channels and Flows

  • A channel in a Dante environment is the same thing it would be in other environments: a signal from a single source.
    ■ A flow in a Dante environment is one to four channels that can be routed from device to device.
    Channels remain separate within the flow. For example, left and right audio channels can be part of the same flow.
  • By default, flows are unicast – they can only be routed to one receiving device.
  • If one or more channels need to be routed to more than one device, the flow needs to be multicast. A multicast flow goes to all the receiving devices. Each device subscribes only to the channel it needs to receive.

This manual only covers the very most basic information about working with Dante products; Audinate Pty. Ltd. provides a great deal of useful information on their website. Please visit www.audinate.com/learning for documentation, tutorials, whitepapers, and more.

Creating a Multicast Flow

To allow one audio channel from the host device to go to the speaker and also serve as the AEC reference signal that goes to the four microphones in our example set-up, define a multicast flow containing only that channel.

To define the multicast flow:

  1. Select Device : Device View, and go to the Transmit tab.
  2. Select the Multicast icon (labeled 1 in this screen shot from our engineering team).
  3. Select the output from the host device. In this case we're using Dante Output 1, which is labeled Mix Output 1 in Dante Controller.
  4. Select Create.

Now Dante Output 1 is available to every device that can receive it – the speaker and the four microphones. These devices will only use the channel in the multicast flow if it is routed to them.

Combining Microphone Channels into Flows

The EasyIP Mixer can only receive two Dante audio flows. Each EasyIP microphone provides a pass-through channel as well as its own audio channel, so one microphone can be routed to another, which creates a flow with two microphone channels that can be routed to the host device. Think of it as daisy-chaining the microphones, but without the cable.

In the screen shot below, locate the microphones in the Dante Receivers column. Each receives its AEC reference from the Mix Output 1 channel that we set up as a multicast flow. Microphone EasyIP-1 also receives a pass-through channel from microphone EasyIP-3; microphone EasyIP-2 receives a pass-through channel from microphone EasyIP-4.

Each of the host device's four Mix Inputs receives the channel from the corresponding microphone, but the four channels are all coming from microphones EasyIP-1 and EasyIP-2.

To route four microphones as two flows:

  1. Decide which two microphones will be routed to the host device. In our example, it's EasyIP-1 and EasyIP-2.

  2. In the Network View, look under Dante Receivers to find the passthrough row for each of these two microphones. Read across the Dante Transmitters to find the EasyIP Microphone column for the microphone originating the signal that will pass through, and select the box where they intersect.

Configuring Audio Settings

AUDIO PAGE

The web interface provides separate controls for each of the audio inputs and outputs. The EasyIP Decoder provides simple input and output controls; the EasyIP Mixer provides the sophisticated controls of a pro A/V solution.

Some of the settings are the same for both products. Others are only available on the EasyIP Mixer.

The EasyIP Decoder presents audio controls on two tabs – Inputs and Outputs.

The EasyIP Mixer groups the controls according to the signal type, and provides an audio matrix for routing inputs to outputs. Audio tabs are:

  • Analog – Line/Mic inputs 1 and 2 (typically the room's microphones); audio line out 1 and 2 (typically the room's speakers).
  • Dante – Up to four network-connected microphones or other audio inputs, and up to four speakers or other audio outputs. Use the Dante Controller application to pair Dante devices to the EasyIP Mixer. Use the Vaddio Dante Interface Application to access EasyIP microphone settings.
  • HDMI – Left and right audio channels from the HDMI input device, and left and right audio channels to the HDMI output.
  • Streaming – Left and right audio channels for USB Playback (far-end audio) and USB Record (near-end audio).
  • Matrix – Defines the source (vertical axis) for each audio output (horizontal axis). Note that USB playback cannot be the source for USB record.

Muting All Audio Inputs Together

About Echo Cancellation

When a microphone picks up the audio from a speaker (far-end audio) during a conference, it sends the far-end audio back to the participants at the far end, creating an echo. Acoustic echo cancellation prevents this.

Here's how it works:

  1. The speaker feeds the far-end audio into the room. This signal also goes to the audio processor as the reference that needs to be canceled.
  2. The audio processor inverts the signal and sends it to the microphone.
  3. The sum of the audio that the microphone picks up from the speaker and the inverted signal is 0: The echo is canceled.

Vaddio EasyIP Ecosystem Base Kit - About Echo Cancellation - 1

text_image Far-end audio signal Inverted audio signal

With the audio from the speaker canceled out, the audio from the microphone includes only the sounds originating at your end of the conference.

The EasyIP Mixer can use any of its audio outputs as the signal reference for acoustic echo cancellation. Select the AEC Reference at the top of the Analog or Matrix tab of the Audio page.

To adjust microphones for best far-end audio performance:

Check or clear the checkboxes for the desired adjustments:

  • Echo Cancellation – Keeps microphones from feeding the speaker output back into the system. Under most circumstances, echo cancellation is desirable.
  • Noise Cancellation – Suppresses ambient noise such as the conference room's heating/air conditioning.
    ■ Automatic Gain Control – Adjusts gain to compensate for differences in the volume of people's voices.
    ■ Mic Boost – Provides a 3 dB boost.

EasyPEQ filtering offers additional options.

About the Vaddio Dante Interface Application

EasyIP and Dante technologies use differing communication protocols. Because of this, EasyIP microphone controls are not available from the web interface of the EasyIP host device, and the Vaddio Deployment Tool does not recognize them as Vaddio devices. To work with EasyIP microphones, you will need to download the free Vaddio Dante Interface Application from the microphone's product page on legrandav.com.

The Vaddio Dante Interface Application provides access to the microphone's adjustments. In the event that Vaddio releases an update to the microphone firmware, the Vaddio Dante Interface Application offers firmware update capability.

Things to know about the Vaddio Dante Interface Application:

■ The application only detects EasyIP microphones.
■ The application does not scan across subnets. Your computer must be on the same subnet as the microphones.

Routing Audio - EasyIP Mixer

AUDIO PAGE, MATRIX TAB

The audio matrix defines where each audio output originates. Each column of the matrix shows one audio output, and each row shows one audio input. Table cells highlighted in blue mean that the input represented in that row is routed to the output represented in that column.

To specify how the EasyIP Mixer uses a given audio input:

Locate the row representing the audio input, and the column representing the desired output. Select the table cell where the desired row and column intersect.

Example: In the screen shot below,

■ The auto mic mixer feeds near-end audio into the USB stream.
■ All available audio inputs go to the auto mic mixer.
■ The left and right USB playback channels (far-end audio) feed into Output 1 (a speaker) and all the available Dante speakers. Left and right channels are separate for the HDMI output, so the HDMI audio is in stereo. Output 2 is not used.

Setting up Macros and Triggers

CONTROL DEVICES PAGE

Macros are sequences of commands. Triggers register events or state changes that can be associated with macros, to make them run. For example, the One Touch (Home) button on a TableMIC is a trigger.

When you associate a macro with a trigger, you must specify whether it runs when the trigger turns on, or when it turns off – so you can associate two macros with each trigger, one to run when the trigger is activated, and one to run when the trigger is turned off.

A trigger may be either hardware, such as the Home button on a tabletop microphone, or software.

Software triggers allow you to program custom functions for third-party control devices, such as defining the buttons on a conference room touch-screen. Hardware triggers (labeled One Touch in the web interface) allow you to define responses to connected Vaddio trigger devices such as TableMIC microphones.

The macro can only run successfully if all the commands in the macro are able to run successfully. For example, if the macro sends the camera to a preset position, that preset must be defined. Refer to the Telnet Serial Command API section for a full list of commands.

The steps for working with macros and triggers are the same for the EasyIP Decoder and the EasyIP Mixer. The Control Devices pages differ in these ways:

■ The EasyIP Decoder presents One Touch triggers to associate macros with the Home button on connected TableMIC microphones.
■ The EasyIP Mixer presents hardware triggers to associate macros with devices connected to the Trigger port.

Writing and Editing Macros

CONTROL DEVICES PAGE, MACROS TAB

To define a macro:

  1. Enter a name in the Macro Editor's Name field.
  2. Enter one or more Telnet commands in the editing area. Note that camera commands must specify which camera they apply to - for example, camera 1 tilt set 10 applies to the camera paired to input 1.
  3. Optional but strongly recommended: Use the Test button to check your work while you are writing the macro.
  4. Save your work when you are finished, or select New to start over.

Note

If the macro has external requirements, it will only run properly if those requirements are met. If the macro includes a command to move to a preset, the applicable preset must be stored by macro can run successfully. I know I'm repeating myself, but this is important.

Assigning Macros to Triggers

CONTROL DEVICES PAGE, TRIGGERS TAB

A trigger may be associated with a macro that runs when the trigger is on, one that runs when the trigger is off, or one of each.

To assign a macro to a trigger:

Do at least one of these things:

■ Select a macro in the Execute Macro on Enter field. This macro will start when the trigger turns on.
■ Select a macro in the Execute Macro on Exit field. This macro will start when the trigger turns off.

Right-click a trigger label or test button to rename the trigger.

Example: Assigning a single macro to the Home button of the connected TableMIC micropho

  1. On the Macros tab of the Control Devices page, name and create the macro. Then test, debug, and save it.
  2. If you want this macro to run every time you tap the TableMIC microphone's One Touch button, got the Audio page and set the One Touch Button mode to Momentary. Otherwise it will run every other time you tap the button.
  3. On the Triggers tab of the Control Devices page, locate One Touch in the list of trigger events, and select the macro from the list of available actions for Execute Macro On Enter.

To remove macro assignments from a trigger:

Select the X on that trigger's row. This is equivalent to setting both macros to (none).

Example: Assigning a Function to the Connected Microphone's Home Button

VIDEO SWITCHING PAGE, CONTROL DEVICES PAGE

In this example, two TableMIC microphones are connected to the EasyIP Decoder. The team that uses the conference room most frequently has requested that the Home button on the cameras' remote and the Home buttons on the two microphones should all do the same thing. The remote is normally set to control the camera that is paired to Input 1 of the EasyIP Decoder.

Tasks to accomplish this:

  1. Video Switching page: Select Input 1, set up the shot and color adjustments on the camera, and store the Home preset.
  2. Control Devices page, Macros tab: Create, name, test, and save a new macro that runs the camera 1 home command. For this example, we'll assume you name it Cam1 Home.
  3. Control Devices page, Triggers tab: For the OneTouch 1 trigger, click the box in the Execute on Enter column and select the Cam1 Home macro from the list. Do the same thing for the OneTouch 2 trigger.

Inverting the Image for Ceiling-Mounted Cameras

Mounting cameras on, in, or near the ceiling can create a clean-looking installation. To get a non-inverted image from an inverted camera, go to the Camera page's Settings dialog or the System page's DIP Switches tab, and set the Image Flip switch On.

Setting Cameras to Respond to Different Frequencies

If two or more cameras are in a room, you can use an IR remote to control them independently if you set them to respond to different frequencies. The Vaddio IR Remote Commander can control up to three cameras independently.

Set each camera to use IR 1, IR 2, or IR 3. These correspond to the numbered camera selection buttons or the IR Remote Commander.

Selecting the Camera to Control with the Remote

Press Camera Select button 1, 2, or 3 to select or change the IR command frequency. The camera using that frequency will recognize commands from the remote; the others will not.

Indicator Light Behavior

SYSTEM PAGE, GENERAL TAB

Indicator light behaviors include:

■ LED on – By default the indicator is on when the camera has power.
■ LED on in standby – By default the indicator remains on while the camera is in standby (low-power mode).
■ LED color scheme – By default the EasyIP 10 camera uses the Unified Conferencing color scheme; its indicator light is blue when it is active. The EasyIP 20 camera uses the Pro AV color scheme, so its indicator light is red when it is the selected video input.

Initial Lighting and Color Settings - EasyIP 20

CAMERA PAGE

No two rooms are exactly alike – but a lot of rooms are a lot alike. The technical folks at Vaddio (Scott, to be specific) have already set up adjustments for common lighting scenarios (CCU scenes) – Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo, and Outdoor. The Auto setting allows the camera to determine the appropriate adjustments.

Adjust the camera for the lighting in use by selecting the CCU scene that best fits your environment.

Some adjustments to lighting and color may be necessary.

Note

Color adjustments are not available when the Auto scene is selected.

Color and Image Quality Adjustments

CAMERA PAGE

EasyIP cameras provide several color and lighting adjustments. Fine-tune the color and lighting as needed using the Color Settings controls.

■ Auto Iris allows the camera to compensate automatically for the light level. Clear this box to adjust iris and gain manually.
■ Backlight Compensation (available when Auto Iris is selected) reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind the main subject of the shot. This setting can't be used with Wide Dynamic Range.
- Wide Dynamic Range (available when Auto Iris is selected) increases the contrast between the brightest and darkest areas. This setting can't be used with Backlight Compensation.
■ Auto White Balance adjusts color automatically. Clear this box to adjust red gain and blue gain manually.
■ Red Gain and Blue Gain (available when Auto White Balance is not selected) provide manual color adjustment.
■ Detail adjusts the image sharpness. If the video looks grainy or "noisy," try a lower Detail setting.
■ Chroma adjusts the color intensity.
■ Gamma adjusts the range (gray density) between bright areas and shadows.

The Lighting and Image Quality Quick Reference and Color Adjustment Quick Reference may be helpful.

If you make a change that you don't like, start over by selecting and then deselecting Auto Iris (lighting) or Auto White Balance (color).

System Maintenance

This chapter covers maintenance tasks for EasyIP cameras and host devices. Most of these are done from the affected device.

What's in this chapter:

■ Saving and restoring a device's configuration data
■ Updating firmware
■ Rebooting

Note

Some of the screen shots of these web interface pages are from the EasyIP Decoder and some the EasyIP 10 camera.

The System pages for the different products are similar to each other, but include product-specific features as well. For example, the EasyIP 10 camera's System page provides a control to recalibrate the camera's motors, and the EasyIP Decoder's System page includes a tab for updating the firmware on connected microphones.

Saving (Exporting) or Restoring (Importing) a Configuration

SYSTEM PAGE, FIRMWARE TAB

You can import a configuration to several devices of the same type if you need to configure them the same way. The devices must be of the same model and must have compatible firmware versions installed. If you need to restore a device's factory default settings, you may want to export the configuration beforehand so that you can restore customized information.

All non-administrative pages of the web interface provide controls to do these things:

  • Mute all video – HDMI Out and the USB stream send blue video. Audio remains on unless you mute it also.
  • Mute all audio (not available from cameras) – Disables the microphone inputs and the audio portion of the stream. It does not disable PC audio input or HDMI audio output; if you mute audio while playing content from a PC, the audio portion of the content is not muted. Video remains on unless you mute it also.
  • Set the system to standby mode – Connected cameras may also go to standby mode, depending on how the system is configured.

Moving the Camera to a Preset Position

HOME PAGE, ANY CAMERA OR HOST DEVICE

The administrator can set up specific shots that are used often, and save them as presets on the camera. A preset specifies the camera's position and zoom level. It may also include color/lighting settings. Presets may also include motor speed information that differs from the speeds used in manually controlled movements.

Presets are only available if they have been set in the camera's administrative interface. Some devices only display presets that are available. The screen shot below is from the EasyIP Mixer, which displays all presets but dims those that have not been set.

Serial Command API

The Vaddio serial command API allows an external device such as an AMX or Crestron presentation system to control Vaddio products. It is also used for writing macros.

■ EasyIP host devices and cameras can be controlled using this API via Telnet.
■ Host devices with RS-232 ports can also be controlled using this API via direct RS-232 connection.
■ A separate VISCA-compatible command API is available for EasyIP cameras with RS-232 ports. It is available via direct RS-232 serial connection. See RS-232 Serial Commands for EasyIP 20 Cameras.

By default, Telnet access is disabled on new Vaddio devices. Telnet access must be enabled on the device. Network connectivity and a Telnet client are also required. Telnet port 23 is used.

In addition to the device-related commands, Telnet session management commands are available – help, history, and exit.

Notes

By default, Telnet access is disabled. Enable it on the of the web interface.

When you use this API, you must log in using the ad

Status Indicator Light

The light in the camera's base indicates its current state.

■ Blue - Camera is active
■ Purple – Standby mode or booting
■ Yellow – Firmware update is in progress
■ Blinking red – Video mute is on (UC color scheme)
■ Blinking yellow – Motor out of calibration

Caution

Do not disconnect either end of the camera cable while the indicator is yellow, showing a firmw in progress. Interrupting a firmware update can make the camera unusable.

Note

The camera's status indicator light can be configured to remain off when the camera is powered camera may be sending video even if the light is off.

Correct a Camera Motor Calibration Error

If the camera's web interface presents an error message about the motors, or if the camera's status light is blinking yellow, you will need to reset the pan and tilt motors.

To reset the pan and tilt motors using the IR Remote Commander:

Point the remote at the camera and press the Pan-Tilt Reset button.

Note:

Because the infrared pulse from the remote is not a tight beam, this may cause other cameras to do a pan-tilt reset at the same time.

To reset the pan and tilt motors from the web interface:

Glossary

AEC

Acoustic echo cancellation. Audio processing that subtracts the far-end (speaker) audio from the sound that your microphone picks up.

auto white balance

A setting that allows the camera to manage color adjustments automatically.

backlight compensation

A setting that reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind the main subject of the shot.

Camera ID (setting)

Specifies which of the IR remote's three frequencies the camera responds to. Use the Camera Select buttons on the remote to change frequency.

channel

A signal from a single source.

chroma

A setting that adjusts color intensity.

detail

A setting that adjusts image sharpness. If detail is set too low, the image may appear unrealistically smooth.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network management protocol that assigns an IP address to a device automatically when it is connected to the network.

DIP switches

An array of switches designed for installation on a circuit board. (DIP = Dual Inline Package; refers to the physical form.) Our web interface has virtual ones because we miss the real ones.

EasyMic

Vaddio's proprietary connectivity standard for conferencing microphones.

echo cancellation

Audio processing that subtracts the far-end (speaker) audio from the sound that your microphone picks up.

far end

(conferencing) A location in the conference other than the one where you are. Far-end video is what you typically see in a conference – the people at the other end of the call.

Field of View (FOV)

How wide the video image is. Vaddio measures horizontal field of view. Some manufacturers use diagonal field of view, which yields a bigger number for the same actual image area. Tilt your head to one side and diagonal FOV will make sense.

flombodulator

A technically complex item the name of which you can't recall at the moment.

flow (Dante)

One to four channels that can be routed from device to device. Channels remain separate within the flow. For example, left and right audio channels can be part of the same flow.

frame rate

The number of output video frames per second. Different outputs (such as the IP stream and the USB stream) may use different frame rates. For streaming, higher frame rates use more bandwidth.

full-duplex

Simultaneous two-way (or multi-way) audio; conference participants at the near end can talk and still hear the participants at the far end(s), as in a face-to-face meeting.

gamma

A setting that adjusts the range (gray density) between bright areas and shadows.

HID audio controls

(Human Interface Device) Controls to enable conference participants to use the conferencing client to control the audio.

home (camera)

The settings to which the camera returns after a reboot or on exiting standby mode. Depending on the camera's capabilities, home may include zoom, color and lighting settings, and pan/tilt position.

home button (microphone)

A One Touch trigger control on a tabletop microphone. The button can be associated with one macro in momentary mode, or two macros in latching mode.

HTTP

HyperText Transfer Protocol. The magic that makes websites work.

HTTPS

HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure. The magic that uses encryption to make websites work securely. See SSL certificate for more information.

IP address

Where a given device is on the IP network, logically. The IP address enables the network to route data to the right device – and that's the reason IP address conflicts are bad.

IP address conflict

Two or more devices attempting to use the same IP address on a network. Results are unpredictable but never good. You don't need to worry about this if you're not using static IP addresses.

LED

Light-Emitting Diode. An indicator light.

macro

A defined sequence of commands that a device performs in response to a trigger event.

multicast flow (Dante)

A flow that can be routed to all receiving devices in the system.

near end

(conferencing) Your location in a conference. When you mute the video, your camera stops sending near-end video.

NTP

Network Time Protocol. Ensures that NTP-enabled devices on the network all show the same system time, so timestamps are accurate.

pairing

The process of "teaching" two specific devices to recognize each other. Pair cameras to the EasyIP Decoder on its Directory page.

PIP

Picture-in-picture. A small image, typically from the near end, displayed with the main image in a call.

PoE, PoE+, PoE++

Power over Ethernet; a means of powering a device using its network connection. Requires a PoE (+) (++) switch or a mid-span power injector. PoE+ and PoE++ deliver more power than PoE.

preset

A stored camera position. Contains pan, tilt, and zoom position; may also include color settings.

RCLB

Really Cool Logo Badge. A visual cue that the device is a genuine Vaddio product. Accept no substitutes!

resolution

  1. The image size. For Vaddio cameras, resolution is expressed in terms of digital TV standards, with 1080p being the default in most cases. Resolution and frame rate are set together on Vaddio cameras.
  2. The thing that usually flies out the window by January 10th.

Richard

The reason there are cats (well, pictures of cats) in this manual.

soft conferencing client

A conferencing application (such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, or Skype for Business) that uses a computer rather than requiring a conferencing codec.

SSL certificate

A file used with HTTPS proving that a web page really originates from its purported source. If you enable or require HTTPS on a camera or other device without installing an SSL certificate, your browser will pop up security warnings when you try to browse to the device's web interface.

trigger

An event, such as pressing the Home button on a connected TableMIC, that can be associated with a macro (defined command sequence). Devices that originate trigger events are sometimes called triggers or trigger devices.

UAC drivers

(Universal Audio Class) Standard USB audio drivers used by Vaddio conferencing products with audio capabilities.

UCC, UC conferencing

Unified Communications Conferencing; refers to soft-client conferencing (such as Zoom or Skype for Business) using a computer with USB-connected peripherals.

unicast flow (Dante)

A flow that can only be routed to one receiving device.

USB 2

An older, lower-speed USB protocol; good for audio but offers lower maximum resolutions for video conferencing. USB 2 products can be connected to USB 2 or USB 3 ports on your computer.

USB 3

A high-speed USB protocol, capable of handling high-quality video and audio as in conferencing applications. USB 3 products should be connected to USB 3 ports; performance may be degraded otherwise.

USB playback

Audio from other sites (far-end audio) in a conference call.

USB record

Audio from your site (near-end audio) in a conference call.

UVC drivers

(Universal Video Class) Standard USB video drivers used by Vaddio cameras. They're the reason your computer doesn't have to stop and download a driver when you connect your new Vaddio USB camera to it.

UVC extensions

Controls in UVC drivers to allow participants at the far end of a conference to control your camera, if it processes UVC commands. The administrator may choose to disable these.
