A Quick Look at the Camera Controller
The console provides quick, intuitive control of cameras and switcher functions.
Touch-Panel Display
Access to:
n Directory, for switcher selection
n Camera presets, scenes, and CCU settings
n Graphics keying and PIP
n Audio
n Macro recall
n Streaming sources
n Network information for the controller
n One-touch standby (controller and selected cameras)
Focus Knob
Switch between modes – auto-focus (illuminated blue) or manual (illuminated red). Adjusts the focus when
in manual mode.
Menu Knob
Navigate and select items from touch-panel screens and menus, adjust and save settings.

Camera Select Buttons
The buttons on the Program and Preview rows are associated with the same video sources. During normal
operation, the buttons are illuminated if they are mapped to cameras or other video sources. Color
indications:
n Red – Current program output
n Green – Current preview output
n Blue – Available video source
n Blinking blue – No video source is currently available at the mapped IP address (or no RS-232
communication)
Button behavior depends on the selected switching mode.
A/B switching mode: One program output. The tally (red) indication is always on the Program row of
buttons, and the preview indication is always on the Preivew row.
Dual-bus switching mode: Two simultaneous program outputs. The buttons on the Program row show the
tally for one output; the buttons on the Preview row show tally for the other output. Press another button to
select a preview source. The button turns green to indicate that it will be the next source on that bus after a
video transition (T-bar on the controller, or Take button on the multiviewer).
T-Bar
Manual control for video source transitions.
Joystick
Intuitive control for moving the selected camera to the desired position – left/right to pan, forward/back to
tilt. Twist the joystick clockwise or counterclockwise to zoom the camera. Press the center button to return
the camera to its home position.
The camera controller's web interface allows you to set normal or inverted directional operation, according
to the operator's preference. See Configuring Joystick Behavior.
Connector Panel
Ethernet/PoE+ connector – PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet for power, control, and access to the cameras
associated with the connected switcher.
HDMI connector – Reserved for future use.

Installation
This section covers how to install and connect the product. It also provides safety information and other
guidance related to installing the product.
Note
This product is intended for installation and use only in environments where all RS-232 and PoE+
connections originate within the building.
Don’t Void Your Warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of these
things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Learn more at www.vaddio.com/products.
Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable and standard RJ-45 connectors (568B termination). We recommend using highquality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Note
Use standard RJ-45 connectors and a good crimping tool. Do not use pass-through
RJ-45 connectors. Poorly crimped connectors can damage the connectors on the
product, cause intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Test cable pinouts and continuity before connecting them.
Intact – Contact fingers will make reliable
contact with the cable connector
Caution
Check Cat-5 cables for continuity before using them. Using the wrong pin-out may damage the camera
system and void the warranty.
Pro Tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.
Damaged – Some contact fingers are bent
and will NOT make reliable contact with the
cable connector

Basic Connections
The diagram below shows a basic live production setup.
Powering Up
Connect the PoE+ power injector.
When you power up the PCC MatrixMIX for the first time, its directory will need to be populated with at
least one switcher, which manages the video and audio sources. This is part of the configuration process.
Next Steps
The PCC MatrixMIX is now ready to configure. Until the product is fully configured, its full functionality is
not available. This information is available in the Configuration and Administration Guide for the PCCMatrixMIX. It is also covered in the Integrator's Complete Guide to the PCC MatrixMIX.
