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.

Increasing/Decreasing Transparency Level and Lower Screen Size: When LSG is activated; pressing the
PIP upper left button will allow both Transparency Level and Lower Screen Size to increase when either button is
pressed. Pressing the lower left PIP button will allow the LSG controls to decrease when either button is pressed.
Note: This feature does not work in Dual Bus mode.
LSG in Dual Bus Mode: In Dual Bus Mode, where seamless switched outputs with effects and transitions can
be delivered out of both the Preview and Program outputs, select the Input on each bus that will be the
“background” image. Next, select the input that has the computer graphics that will be displayed (the second
button that is pressed on each bus will flash). Press the LSG buttons on the Program and Preview buses. The
graphics will be placed on each output seamlessly.
LSG Presets: Preset configurations for LSG can be set up utilizing the Camera Preset buttons in the upper right
of the console. Up to 12 preset configurations of lower screen size and transparency level can be programmed.
To do this, with LSG mode turned on, simply set a Lower Screen Size and Transparency Level. Next, press and
hold one of the 12 Camera Preset buttons for approximately 4 seconds. The Lower Screen Size and
Transparency Level will be stored in that preset position, much like a camera preset can be stored in the system.
Change the Transparency Level and/or Size and store the new preset in one of the other 12 Camera Preset
selector buttons. A total of 12 LSG presets can be stored in the system. The last LSG preset position displayed
will be the one recalled when LSG is turned back on. Currently, the preset positions for the LSG can only be
changed when LSG is turned on.
Note: A DVD containing sample graphics in both Keynote and PowerPoint is supplied with ProductionVIEW HD
MV. The sample graphics provide users with an easy way of getting started creating graphics for their own live
productions.

ProductionVIEW HD MV handles camera switching and PTZ movements automatically.
Master Power Switch
When the Master Power Switch is powered down, all of the attached cameras will be placed in standby.
Press and hold the power switch for 3 seconds to initiate power down sequence. This is a safeguard to
prevent accidental shutdown.
When the Master Power Switch is powered up, all attached cameras will activate and select default camera
and preset information as defined in the menu. The ProductionVIEW HD MV will scan the inputs for camera
type and video signal type and auto-configure accordingly. This can take up to one minute and is normal
operation.
Note: When the camera control ports are changed or reconfigured, the “Rescan Cameras” option in the menu
must be selected and started to rescan the cameras and reload the proper control codes.If only the video
inputs are changed, then activate the Rescan Video function in the Main Menu to reset the video input
priorities.

Using the Multiviewer and Control modes with the Optional TeleTouch™ HD Touch Screen LCD Monitors:
Vaddio has the optional TeleTouch 22” and 18.5” Resistive Touch Technology, Full HD LCD Monitors available
for use with the ProductionVIEW™ HD MV and ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV Multiviewer Video Consoles.
TeleTouch 18.5” Rack Mount HD Touch Screen LCD Monitor
Simulated ProductionVIEW Multiviewer Output
The Vaddio TeleTouch LCD touch screen monitors for the ProductionVIEW MV series consoles use 5-wire
resistive touch technology, which allows the operator to control the consoles with the simple touch of a finger,
gloved hand or stylus. The TeleTouch monitors can be configured to display up to six (6) input windows and two
(2) larger Preview and Program windows with green and red tally borders. In addition, each PTZ camera input
can store up to 12 video thumbnail preset camera shots.
Unlike retail/consumer grade monitors, the TeleTouch LCD panels are high-end, industrial quality and are
designed for durability when used in demanding control environments.
Connecting the TeleTouch Touch Screen LCD Monitors to the ProductionVIEW HD MV:
Step 1: To use the Multiviewer and TeleTouch Touch Screen Controller, connect the main RS-232 port (DB-9-F)
of the ProductionVIEW HD MV to the RS-232 port of the TeleTouch monitor with the cable provided. Connect the
provided DVI-D cable from the multiviewer output (preview DVI-D Connector) to the DVI-D input of the TeleTouch
Monitor.

How to Create Presets and Video Thumbnails:
To set up still video thumbnails of preset camera positions, touch and
hold a standard video input window with a PTZ camera, for our example
input window #2. The size of the widow will reduce to about ¼ its size
(same size as the video thumbnail) and is ready to be positioned. With
the ProductionVIEW HD MV’s joystick, position the camera where it can
be easily recalled for later use. These areas will be lectern positions,
whiteboard areas, podium areas, choir areas, center aisle for entrances,
close ups and distant shots and anywhere in between. The presets will
be still shots of those areas.
After the camera 2 is positioned, touch one of 12 video thumbnails below
to store the still shot of that position. Move the camera again and touch
a second thumbnail window and so on. Do this for every PTZ camera
that you desire presets for future recall.

blue screen will appear on the Program output, when the video is switched quickly, and repeatedly.
In most applications this will not be an issue. In Single Bus Mode, a faster Settle Time will also create
a video roll on the Preview output, which again in most situations will not be an issue.

Warranty Information:
Hardware* Warranty: One year limited warranty on all parts. Vaddio warrants this product against defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of one year from the day of purchase from Vaddio. If Vaddio receives notice of such defects during
the warranty period, they will, at their option, repair or replace products that prove to be defective. Please see Vaddio’s
Service Terms and Conditions at vaddio.com for specific details and policies.
Exclusions: The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate maintenance by the
customer, customer applied software or interfacing, unauthorized modifications or misuse, operation outside the normal
environmental specifications for the product, use of the incorrect power supply, improper extension of the power supply cable
or improper site operation and maintenance.
Vaddio Customer Service: Vaddio will test, repair, or replace the product or products without charge if the unit is under
warranty and is found to be defective. If the product is out of warranty, Vaddio will test then repair the product or products. The
cost of parts and labor charge will be estimated by a technician and confirmed by the customer prior to repair. All components
must be returned for testing as a complete unit. Vaddio will not accept responsibility for shipment after it has left the premises.
Vaddio Technical Support: Vaddio technicians will determine and discuss with the customer the criteria for repair costs
and/or replacement. Vaddio Technical Support can be contacted through one of the following resources: e-mail support at
support@vaddio.com or online at www.vaddio.com.
Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number: Before returning a product for repair or replacement, request an RMA from
Vaddio’s technical support. Provide a technician with a return phone number, e-mail address, shipping address, and product
serial numbers and describe the reason for repairs or returns as well as the date of purchase and proof of purchase. Include
your assigned RMA number in all correspondence with Vaddio. Write your assigned RMA number on the outside of the box
when returning the product. All product returned for credit is subject to a restocking charge without exception.
Voided Warranty: The warranty does not apply if the original serial number has been removed or if the product has been
disassembled or damaged through misuse, accident, modifications, or unauthorized repair. Cutting the power supply cable on
the secondary side (low voltage side) to extend the power to the device (camera or controller) voids the warranty for that
device.
Shipping and Handling: Vaddio will not pay for inbound shipping transportation or insurance charges or accept any
responsibility for laws and ordinances from inbound transit. Vaddio will pay for outbound shipping, transportation, and
insurance charges for all items under warranty but will not assume responsibility for loss and/or damage by the outbound
freight carrier.
• If the return shipment appears damaged, retain the original boxes and packing material for inspection by the carrier. Contact
your carrier immediately.
