The Vaddio Quick-Connect DVI-D/HDMI-SR Interface is designed and built specifically to allow the Vaddio HD-18 camera to be used for a wide variety of digital video and extended control applications. The Quick-Connect Interface complements the Vaddio HD-18 as it takes advantage of the good flexibility of the camera’s video system and incorporates Vaddio’s EZCamera cabling system, using two Cat5 cables (sold separately) to transport video, power, and control to and from the camera and interface.

Built-in active electronics in both the HD-18 and the Quick-Connect Interface deliver HD video using HSDS (High-Speed Differential Signaling) for the video and IR signals. HSDS provides up to 1080p60 video capability over cabling distances up to 100 ft. The interface unit features simultaneous analog component video (YPbPr) and digital video outputs (DVI-D or HDMI with the HDMI adapter cable option) on separate connectors. This proves suitable for multiple monitoring and large projection systems. Extended control functions include DCCE (Daisy Chain Control Emulation), which allows single control port codecs to control multiple HD-18 cameras, and IR forwarding in modulated and non-modulated formats, for extending the reach of the IR remotes included with videoconferencing systems.
