Overview
The Vaddio BaseSTATION was designed with the small
working conference room in mind. It’s a complete
Unified Communications (UC) solution incorporating all
the audio & video functions for small group collaboration
in a small meeting room. This system can be used for
local presentations, PC-based UC applications (i.e.
Lync®, Jabber®, Skype®, Vidyo® WebEx® etc…),
VoIP audio conferencing, voice add-on and more!
The BaseSTATION system consists of a table-based
Mic/Control BaseSTATION Dock and a wall mounted
Camera Module with a WideSHOT™ type camera
inside. The HDMI output carries the far-end audio to
the room monitor and makes use of the built-in
speakers.
The BaseSTATION Dock contains the mics, the user interface, and the docking connectors for the PC and UC
applications.
Four (4) cardioid mic elements each with independent wideband AECs (acoustic echo cancellers),
provides a 360° pickup pattern. Vaddio’s SmartMic technology ensures that pristine, crystal clear audio is
maintained for both local and far-end participants with hands-free operation. A capacitive-touch user interface on
the BaseSTATION Dock provides for dialing and conference control. PC, laptop, or tablet connections include
HDMI or VGA (RGBHV) to locally extend the PC’s display to the room monitor.
The BaseSTATION is a smaller, compact cousin of the HuddleSTATION™ and does not contain speakers, but
instead uses then speakers of the room monitor for sound. It still has an integrated native HD camera almost exactly
like the amazing WideSHOT™ camera. The BaseSTATION camera has a super wide-angle lens providing greater
than 82° horizontal field of view (16:9) for even the smallest of rooms. It has a manual pan/tilt mechanism and a
3X varifocal zoom lens that further tailors the image for the smaller room. A supplied single 25’ (7.62m) Cat-6 SSTP
shielded cable connects the BaseSTATION Camera with the BaseSTATION Dock carrying power, video, audio,
control and network.
A premium wall mounting system with integrated cable tray is included in the Deluxe and
Premier packages.
Intended Use
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested
for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. 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.
Installation Requirements
Please use qualified personnel for installation of the BaseSTATION systems. It is critical that the IT professionals
that install and maintain the network at the place of installation be involved with the provision of the network for the
BaseSTATION IP, VoIP and PC connectivity. There is a worksheet for VoIP set-ups in this manual and included
separately.

BaseSTATION Components include Camera Module,
Wall Mount, BaseSTATION Dock controller, dialer and PC
Interface for the system and the 25’ (7.62m) Cat-6 SSTP Cable.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of an unauthorized or modified power supply
will void any and all warranties.
The BaseSTATION Cable: The Vaddio LINK cable between the BaseSTATION Dock and the Camera Module is critical for proper
operation. The supplied 25’ (7.62m) LINK cable is Cat-6 SSTP (26awg stranded, individually shielded pairs with overall shield,
gold contacts and metal shielded RJ-45. These exact attributes of the cable are required for the high speed data traffic between
the two devices. A 50’ (15.24m) Cat-6 SSTP, which is the maximum distance between the BaseSTATION Dock and the Camera
Module, is available as an accessory. Do not use custom/homemade cables, because just they don’t work.
