ProductionVIEW HD MV

Overview:

The Vaddio™ ProductionVIEW HD MV Production Switcher with integrated camera controller and multiviewer is a powerful, cost effective and easy to operate platform for live presentation environments. With Vaddio’s revolutionary TeleTouch™ Multiviewer Touch Screen Control Panel (optional, sold separately), production operators can easily see and switch all live video feeds and create “video thumbnails” of preset camera shots with the touch of their finger.

ProductionVIEW HD MV is a broadcast quality 6 x 2 multi-format, seamless video mixer that also provides two discrete outputs for dual bus program feeds (two independent 6 x 1 switchers/mixers). Accepting any combination of input signals from

ProductionVIEW HD MV Camera Control Console

analog HD YPbPr video, RGBHV, SD (Y/C and CVBS) video with Input 6 providing a DVI-I input, the ProductionVIEW HD MV supports HD resolutions up to and including 1080p/60fps.

The TeleTouch Multiviewer Touch Screen Control Panel can be user configured to display four, five or six input windows as well as two larger preview and program windows with red and green tally window borders, which indicate the current output selections. The outputs have been configured for analog (YPbPr, RGBHV and SD) and digital (DVID) video support allowing for either a standard preview output or multiviewer preview output with support for two monitors or the multiviewer output supporting a Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel. The Vaddio TeleTouch multiviewer touch screens are available in two sizes; 18.5” rack-mount (7-RU) version or a standard 22” with

ProductionVIEW HD MV TeleTouch 22” Multiviewer Touch Screen Control Panel

base.

The TeleTouch Multiviewer Touch Screen Control Panel also eliminates the need for individual preview monitors and allows the camera operator to see and switch all the live video feeds by simply touching the windows that they want controlled. Each camera input can have up to 12 stored “video thumbnails” of each preset camera shot. These video thumbnail images provide an easy way to identify and recall preset camera positions on a per input basis in the preview window that greatly simplifies overall console operation.

The ProductionVIEW HD MV control surface is laid out to allow even a novice to operate the system with minimal training. ProductionVIEW HD MV is unmatched in today’s camera control, video mixing and video switching market.

Key Technical Features:

 Video Switcher: The internal video switcher can be configured as a traditional video switcher, using the

TAKE button, or DUAL BUS mode (essentially two 6 x 1 video switchers).

 Dual Bus Mode: Dual Bus allows users to switch two separate programs (i.e. IMAG for live presentations on

the Program output, and a secondary program for a recording of the live event on the Preview output). The Program output can be a discrete resolution setting from the Preview outputs.

 Anything In, Anything Out: The inputs auto-detect the video resolution and the outputs have user

configurable discrete video resolution settings. See the specifications on page 23 for additional information on all of the resolutions supported.
