AV Bridge CONFERENCE 1

Overview

The Vaddio AV Bridge CONFERENCE is a room based HD Media Streaming solution enabling IP or USB

streaming. Like the original AV Bridge, it’s an appliance that “bridges” the room’s analog audio and video into a

computer (PC or Mac) for UC applications, but with one important distintction. The AV Bridge CONFERENCE has

been designed as an HD Encoder with 2-way analog audio to send the near-end audio to the far-end and return

the far-end audio to the application or pro mixer with AEC..

The AV Bridge CONFERENCE offers a flexible A/V interface that is controllable with an embedded web server

and the current settings are viewable from the front panel menus. It accepts a multitude of video input resolutions

from standard definition composite video (480i/NTSC and 576i/PAL) all the way up to HD 1080p/60 in HDMI and

YPbPr, including the most relevant wide-screen and 4:3 VESA type PC resolutions (RGBHV or DVI).

The USB streaming functions using MJPEG (Motion JPEG) and standard UVC (USB Video Class) with UAC

(USB Audio Class) drivers eliminate the need for installation of custom software drivers on the Host PC. The IP

streaming uses RTSP or HLS (Apple’s variant on HTTP streaming) and encodes H.264 video with AAC Audio.

The Ethernet port also provides access to internal web pages for control, setup, and updating the software.

Use the AV Bridge CONFERENCE in UC conferencing applications to “bridge” video and audio signals into a PC

or retrofit existing conference rooms by simply plugging a USB cable into a Host PC or connecting to an IP

network.

The AV Bridge CONFERENCE supports high definition encoding of audio and video sources, producing superior

quality results at the fraction of the cost of other similar products. It seamlessly integrates with Vaddio’s HD

cameras, presentation systems, video mixing consoles, and other pro audio products with AEC. The AV Bridge

CONFERENCE is an unsurpassable value due to its ease of use, flexibility, and plug & play functionality, really.

Intended Use

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and

tested for use indoors, with the provided power supply. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or

outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe operating

condition.

Important Safeguards

Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.

In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,

do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.

Do not connect Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage

may result.

Product Updates

From time to time Vaddio issues firmware updates for our products, which may render some information in this

manual inaccurate. Please check the current product release notes on https://www.legrandav.com/ for the latest

information.

Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized

power supply will void any and all warranties.

Do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. If they are crimped incorrectly, they can damage the

connectors on the product, cause intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Physical

damage to the connectors will void your warranty. For best results use standard RJ-45 connectors

and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.

Note: The audio inputs are line level and user selectable between balanced or unbalanced.

AV Bridge CONFERENCE 4

First Time Set-up with the AV Bridge CONFERENCE

The AV Bridge CONFERENCE high-definition

Audio/Video encoder is a USB/IP streaming appliance

that provides a Plug & Play type interface (or bridge)

between traditional A/V room equipment and a computer using Unified Communications (UC), lecture/capture, or

recording software.

An important feature of the AV Bridge CONFERENCE is the 2-way analog audio I/O that sends the near-end

room audio to the far-end and returns the far-end audio to the local room’s pro mixer with AEC. The AV Bridge

CONFERENCE is the ideal choice for existing rooms as well as new designs.

Diagram: The simple way to look at AV Bridge CONFERENCE

The AV Bridge CONFERENCE “bridges” the A/V signals into the PC for applications like UC conferencing, lecture

capture, recording, storage for later playback, editing, distribution and other programs that can manipulate the A/V

content. With the 2-way analog audio, the AV Bridge CONFERENCE is perfect for most UC conferencing

applications.

Diagram: UC Conferencing Application Example

This system diagram depicts the AV Bridge CONFERENCE in a UC Conferencing application using an existing or

new room audio system (providing for 2-way audio), video source, a PC, network and room monitor. The AV

Bridge CONFERENCE will output USB 2.0 streams or IP streams, but not simultaneously.

Installation Instructions

To install the AV Bridge CONFERENCE, follow the steps below to attach various pieces of equipment.

Step 1: Plug in the 18VDC, 2.75 Amp power supply included with the AV Bridge CONFERENCE system

package. The front panel LCD display will illuminate blue when the power is applied. The menu is now active

and ready for configuration.

Step 2: Connect the Video Content Source(s) to the AV Bridge CONFERENCE for USB 2.0 Streaming. More

than one source can be attached and selected from the front panel or web page menu.

Step 3: Connect the Audio Content Source(s) to the AV Bridge CONFERENCE. A DSP mixer with AEC and

good mics are generally a good idea. Use either the balanced or unbalanced audio input or output.Audio ins

and outs are needed for a UC Conferencing application to get the near end audio to the far end, and receive far

end audio for connection to the room’s audio system.

Step 4: For USB streaming, connect the Host PC with the conferencing application to the AV Bridge

CONFERENCE with the provided USB 2.0 Type-A Male to Type-B Male cable.

Step 5: For IP configuration and control, connect the AV Bridge CONFERENCE to the LAN, which will allow set-

up, configuration and control of the AV Bridge CONFERENCE via the internal web pages in from any of the

approved browsers. The system configuration is an important step in the installation.

This manual contains a Web Page Screen Shot Tour of the embedded web pages in the AV Bridge

CONFERENCE. This tour is provided to help the Administrator and User navigate the system.

Important Note: The AV Bridge CONFERENCE will use DHCP by default to obtain an

IP address when connected to the LAN. If no DHCP server is available, the AV Bridge

CONFERENCE will default to 169.254.1.1.The IP address will be viewable on the front

panel menu.

Compatibility

We have tested this product with these web browsers:

•Chrome®

•Firefox®

•Microsoft®Edge and Internet Explorer®

•Safari®

We test using the browser version available from the vendor at that time. Other

browsers (including older versions of the ones on this list) are likely to work also.

AV Bridge is compatible with most soft conferencing applications, lecture capture applications, and media players.

USB 2.0 Streaming

The table below lists resolutions and frame rates available internally; the host computer and the AV Bridge auto-

negotiate these within the application, which may optimize for high quality or low bandwidth. An option for setting

video color space as 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 is available in the web interface. The 4:2:0 color space reduces USB

bandwidth by up to 25% and may actually improve video quality with some UC soft clients.
