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
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.
