ClearVIEW HD-USB Conferencing Camera
ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Conferencing Camera Document Number 342-0437 Rev. B
Page 8 of 32
For Release 1.2.0 of the Camera and Software, only the USB 2.0 Streaming Video is Active:
The H.264 will follow in Release 2.0, so for now it is recommended to put the Rotary Selection Switch on the USB
Resource Card to position “0”. The documentation will be updated with the extra pages to explain the H.264 set-
up in a reliably and fairly competent manner.
Position “0” on the HD video select, will give the camera the ability to auto-negotiate with the host PC and
automatically decide the highest resolution (MJPEG video up to and including 720p/30) that the computer and UC
client/application can accept, display and process within the application software (not provided). In the future the
Operating systems will be able to process 1080p/30 using H.264, USB 3.0 UVC (USB Video Class) drivers. But
for now MJPEG video at 720p/30 is the limit of USB 2.0.
The HD-USB camera uses UVC drivers and does not require the loading of any other drivers to run on the PC.
As long as the operating systems and soft-client software support UVC drivers, no additional software, other than
the application, is required.
