The Vaddio™ AutoVIEW IR Sensor Kit is a ceiling
mounted presenter camera control system that provides
for automated presenter control over the Vaddio family of
camera switching systems.

The Vaddio AutoVIEW IR Sensor Kit includes the ceiling
mounted active IR sensor with dark acrylic lens, the
AutoVIEW IR Control Interface and 18 VDC power supply
with power cord. This AutoVIEW IR Kit is compatible with
the following Vaddio automated presenter controlled
switchers and controllers;

 ControlVIEW XHD
 AutoPresenter
 Hot-Shot Preset Camera Controller (for select

Polycom, Cisco/TANDBERG and LifeSize codecs)

 ProductionVIEW series of video consoles including the

FX, HD, HD-SDI, HD MV and HD-SDI MV

The AutoVIEW IR Sensor Kit provides a simple contact closure to trigger any camera preset or video input switch
that these controllers and switchers can provide. The AutoVIEW IR Control Interface powers the IR Sensor via
the Cat-5e cable. When the IR sensor picks up the presenter passing under the sensor, a contact pair is relayed
down the Cat-5e through the AIR Box out of the Phoenix connector to the trigger input of the AutoPresenter. The
trigger will change the input and/or the camera’s PTZ position allowing for automated presenter camera control.

Intended Use:

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. 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.

Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.

Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connec tors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connector s and test all cables for proper

in-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.
