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.
Save These Instructions:
The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product
drawings for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from
www.vaddio.com free of charge.

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.

Unpacking:
Carefully remove the device and all of the parts from the packaging. Unpack and identify the following parts:
One (1) AutoVIEW Active IR Sensor (modified Optex with RJ-45 connector to support Cat-5e cabling)
One (1) Dark Acrylic Lens Cover
One (1) AutoVIEW Control Interface with 2-pin Phoenix type connector
One (1) 18VDC, 2.75 Amp Switching Power Supply
One (1) Power Cord (International version ships with UK and Euro power cables)
Installation:
Installation of the AutoVIEW IR Presenter Camera Control System is as unique as it is simple. With any Vaddio
product, understanding the key system components is essential.
IR Sensors:
The Optex OA-70CS sensors provided with the AutoVIEW IR Sensor Kit are active infrared sensors using near
infrared reflection to actively sense the presence of something or someone within the sensing zone. Much like
automatic door sensors for grocery or department stores, the sensors detect the presence of a person within a
zone which can be tuned for the specific environment in which it operates. The Optex owner’s manual provided
with each sensor details the installation and proper adjustment of the sensor.

The AutoVIEW IR Control Interface:
The AutoVIEW IR (AIR Box) Control interface supplies power the IR Senor and returns a closure pair (short to
ground) to the TRIGGER OUT which can be connected into any Vaddio or other device with a trigger input.
The plastic box for the control interface is approximately 3” (76.2mm) W x 2” (50.8mm) H x 1” (25.4mm) D and

Basic Installation
The AutoVIEW IR Sensor is a modified Optex Sensor usually used in automatic door systems.
1) Affix the mounting template to the sensor mounting position
2) Drill or cut a 5-1/8” (130mm) round mounting hole for the sensor
Recommended distance to the nearest wall is 12” (304.8mm)

Warranty Information:
(See Vaddio Warranty, Service and Return Policies posted on vaddio.com for complete details):
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 shipping label of the
box when returning the product. All products returned for credit are subject to a restocking charge without exception.

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
