1.1 Video Setup

Click "Video". The streaming parameters may now be set in the right side area. The camera can send 2 simultaneous streams. For example, one in HD and one in SD so that both PCs and phones may have their own stream resolution.

42

Rev 1.2 7/15

1) Video Settings

Video format

Supports 50HZ(PAL) and 60HZ(NTSC) and Dial Priority (see rotary dial on camera) formats.

60Hz is used for North America.

Video Coding

Support both “baseline” and “mainprofile” formats for H.264 video encoding.

Baseline is typically used for video conferencing.

2) First Stream

Resolution

43

Rev 1.2 7/15

Set the desired video stream resolution. The first stream allows 1920x1080 (1080p) or 1280x720 (720p).

The second stream allows 640x360 or 320x180. Higher resolutions will consume more bandwidth.

Bit Rate

Users can assign the bit rate of the stream (from 32 – 6144 kbps). Higher bit rates will provide for a higher quality image, if your network bandwidth is sufficient to support the rate.

Maximum frame rate:

Users can specify the maximum frame rate (fps or frames per second). Higher frame rates provide smoother video but require higher bit rate settings.

I key frame interval:

Affects the quality of the video compression. This setting defines how many predicted frames will be used for each actual frame (from 2-150). Shorter intervals increase video quality at the cost of requiring higher bit rates in order to look good.

Bit Rate Control method:

Constant bit rate: video encoder will encode at a constant rate as set in bitrate setting

Variable bit rate: video encoder will encode at a variable rate with maximum as set in bit rate setting, allowing for low motion scenes to use less bandwidth.

Fluctuate level

This setting affects how aggressive variable bit rate adjustments will be (1-6). Spikes that are too large may affect video quality. Low levels will not save on as much bandwidth.

3) Second Stream (See parameters for first stream).

USB Control of Camera

Connect a USB 3.0 cable from the camera to a computer’s USB3.0 port.

Install the software downloaded from: http://huddlecamhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AMCAP-USB-Camera-Configuration-Software.exe_.zip

(amcap.exe) and double click the .exe to start the program (there is no installation required).

From the Options Menu choose the Video Capture Filter command. Use the camera controls to control the camera.

Some early releases of the camera model may not support UVC control (control over USB).

Conferencing and other software that has integrated UVC Control functionality will be able to also control the camera via

USB.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Camera Maintenance

 If the camera will not be used for a long time, please turn off the power switch.

 Use a soft cloth or lotion-free tissue to clean the camera body.

 Use a soft dry lint-free cloth to clean the lens. If the camera is very dirty, clean it with a diluted neutral detergent.

Do not use any type of solvent or harsh detergent, which may damages the surface.

Unqualified Applications

 Do not shoot extremely bright objects for a long period of time, such as sunlight, ultra-bright light sources, etc...

 Do not operate in unstable lighting conditions, otherwise the image may flicker.

 Do not operate close to powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as TV or radio transmitters, etc…

Troubleshooting

 No image

1. Check whether the power cord is connected, voltage is OK, POWER lamp is lit.

2. Check whether the camera can “self-test” after startup (camera will do a brief pan-tilt tour and return to the home positon, or if preset 0 is set, the camera will return to the preset 0 position).

3. Check the BOTTOM dip switch and make sure the two dip switches are both set OFF. These switches are not used in operating mode.

4. Check that the signal cable is connected correctly (HDMI or USB3.0 depending upon your application).

55

Rev 1.2 7/15

1. If HDMI, make sure that the destination device is accessing the HDMI port that you plugged into.

2. If USB, make sure that your operating system has properly recognized the device as a video camera and that you have selected it in your application (e.g. conferencing) software as the active video source.

 Abnormal display of image

1. Check setting of rotary dial on rear of camera. Be sure to use a resolution and refresh rate that is supported by your software.

 Image is shaky or vibrating.

1. Check whether camera is mounted solidly or sitting on a steady horizontal and level surface.

2. Check the building and any supporting furniture for vibration. Ceiling mounts are often affected by building vibration more than wall mounts.

3. Any external vibration that is affecting the camera will be more apparent when in tele zoom (zoomed in) settings.

Control

 IR remote controller does not control the camera

1. Does one of the 4 “Camera Select” buttons (top row of remote) light up when you press any button on the remote?

1. If not, change the batteries in the remote.

2. Are the camera and remote set to the same IR address? You can use press *#1 (3 buttons in sequence) on the remote to set the camera to address 1. Press “Camera Select” 1 on the remote to control the camera.

3. Try removing other sources of IR interference (e.g. sunlight, fluorescent lighting).

 Serial communication does not control the camera

1. Make sure the camera is on and functioning with the IR remote control.

2. Verify that the RS232 cable is connected correctly and using the proper pinout.

3. Verify the communication settings of the control software or device (e.g. joystick).

4. Verify that the communication port on the controlling device is activated (e.g. Com port on PC).

5. Verify that all communication settings in the OSD Setup Menu correlate to the commands being used (e.g.

VISCA address).

Rev 1.2 7/15

Important Notes Regarding USB Connectivity:

USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. USB 2.0 ports are not completely forward compatible with USB 3.0 devices (some USB 3.0 devices will connect to USB 2.0 with limited functionality).

External USB hubs should be avoided (i.e. give the camera its own USB port on the device) as they are not well suited to transmitting HD video reliably.

USB extension systems must be fully compatible with the version of USB that you are using and must utilize an external power supply, when required. Caution: Some “compatible” USB 3.0 extenders do not actually have the full 5Gbps bandwidth required for uncompressed HD video – so check bandwidth specs. Always connect the

HuddleCam directly to the device in order to associate the UVC drivers before attempting to use any extension system.

USB 3.0 power saving settings in the device’s operating system should be turned off completely for reliable USB

3.0 camera connectivity.

PTZ Optics Cameras

All PTZ Optics cameras utilize the UVC (USB Video Class) drivers that are built into Windows, Mac OS and Linux to stream HD video to your device via your device’s USB 3.0 port. When your device successfully recognizes the camera, your device will register the PTZ Optics as an “imaging device”.

You can see this in your Windows Device Manager program (type “device manager” into the Windows search tool) as shown in the screenshot, below:

57

Rev 1.2 7/15

In this example, you can see the PTZ Optics model in use connected as a fully functional USB 3.0 device (PTZ
