Configure the Document Camera
A ceiling-mounted document camera can be used in the customer pod to allow customers to share
documents with the expert. It is recommended to use the Vaddio CellingVIEW™ HD-18 DocCAM with
Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI SR Interface. The REM may support different document cameras with
configurable RS-232 commands. Please contact the RE team for more details if you plan to use a
different document camera.
The Vaddio CeilingVIEW™ HD-18 DOCCAM camera is designed for use with high definition video
conferencing codecs, HD monitors, and HD presentation applications where image quality and
resolution are critical. The camera features an 18X optical zoom lens and is built around a 1/3”, 1.3
Megapixel CCD image sensors for precise HD video image acquisition even in low light applications.
The camera supports HD resolution such as 1080p60, 1080p30, 720p30 and RGB resolution such as
1024x768.
The document camera system is composed of two units: the camera itself that is mounted to the ceiling
(Figure B-1) and a control unit called the DocCam SR module (Figure B-2).

In addition to the document camera system, the System Dimensions AVS 2610 USB video encoder
dongle is required for each document camera setup. When the dongle is connected to the IEC and the
document camera system, live video is captured by the document camera and then streamed by the
dongle to remote computers. The AVS 2610 is HDMI compatible.
Note
The REM currently supports the System Dimension AVS 2610 USB video encoder dongle. The REM
may support different video encoder dongles. Please contact the RE team for more details.
To enable the document camera to stream video, you will need to perform the following tasks:
1.
Prepare agents’ desktops: To use the document camera, the Document Camera application and VLC
Player software must be installed on each agent’s desktop. Perform the following tasks:
Cisco Remote Expert Manager Installation Guide

Appendix B
Document Camera Configuration
Configure the Document Camera
a. Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 7 on each agent’s desktop.
b. Download the snapshotapp-dist.zip file from REAC and install it on each agent’s desktop. Refer
to Appendix D: “Document Camera Application Installation and Configuration” of the Cisco
Remote Expert Manager eREAD User Guide for instructions.
c. Install a VLC Player on each agent’s desktop.
Note
The snapshot application works only if both the JRE and VLC player are of same bit size,
i.e., 64bit JRE and 64bit VLC or 32bit JRE and 32bit VLC.
2.
Connect the document camera system to the IEC and the video encoder dongle.
3.
Create a policy in the IEM for the document camera.
4.
Reboot the IEC from REAC.
Connect and Configure the Hardware
To connect the document camera system, follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect the EZCamera Power & HD Video port of the control unit to the camera using a Cat-5e cable
with a maximum distance of 100’ (30.5 m). This port supplies power to the camera and returns HD video
from the camera.
Step 2
Connect the RS-232 Control To Camera port on the control unit to the camera.
Step 3
Connect the RS-232 Control Input port on the control unit to the RS232 port on the IEC.
Step 4
Connect the DVI-D port to the HDMI input of the dongle.
Step 5
Connect the HDMI output of the dongle to a USB port of the IEC. If necessary, use an USB extension
cable.

Configure the Document Camera
Based on your requirement and setup, the CeilingVIEW HD-18 DocCAM provides a 16-position rotary
switch (No. 4 in the photo) to set a desired HD camera resolution. The camera also has a 8-position dip
switch (No. 7 in the photo) for assigning certain camera functions. Those switches can be quickly
accessed by taking out the covers at front of the camera.
Step 7
Configure the document camera:
a.
For the 8-position DIP switch, set the IR switch to IR OFF to use the RE-232 camera control.

Create Policies in the IEM for Each Document Camera
A policy must be created in the IEM and then applied to the device in order for the document camera to
stream video from the dongle to the agents. Each document camera requires a separate policy because
the policy contains configuration information just for the document camera connected to that particular
IEC.
To create and apply a policy for the document camera, follow the steps below. Use the parameters in the
table below when creating the policy to ensure optimal video quality. The parameters have been certified
by the RE development team and are optimized for the System Dimension AVS 2610 USB video encoder.
Note
The port specified in the IEM policy should not be used by any other program on the agent’s desktop.
