SD Integrated Ceiling Document Camera Launched

A leading designer and OEM distributor of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems used in the broadcasting, audio/visual and video-conferencing industries has recently announced the release of the new CeilingVIEW SD Integrated Ceiling Document Camera.
Vaddio has produced the new system which the company said offers not only a higher optical zoom, but also High Speed Differential Signalling (HSDS) to transport video, power and control signals from the camera system to the Quick-Connect CV SD interface up to 400 feet using standard CAT-5 cable.
The SD camera is based on a Sony EXview HAD CCD imaging sensor crucial for exceptional image quality and precise colour reproduction.
The 36X optical zoom and 12X digital zoom offer 432X total zoom capability - ideal for corporate boardrooms, auditoriums, teaching hospitals, distance-learning applications, or wherever a clear, standard definition image is required. Other features include simultaneous Y/C and composite 4:3 video and VISCA control protocol.
"Our CeilingVIEW SD uses high speed differential signalling, an active transport system – not video baluns – to deliver high quality, low loss video over CAT-5 cabling," said Rob Sheeley, President of Vaddio.
"CeilingVIEW SD, along with our CeilingVIEW HD give our customers a choice of high quality standard definition and high definition integrated ceiling document cameras," he explained.
The new SD system also offers additional features including remote compatibility; IR remote control; laser pointer for precise placement; six camera zoom presets and a custom camera install kit.
