Joystick Camera Controller
with Color and Focus Controls

In our continuing drive to redefine
camera control, Vaddio introduces the
Precision Camera Controller system.
Designed to control up to seven PTZ
cameras, the Precision Camera
Controller can be used as a stand­alone device or in conjunction with a
variety of video switchers or mixers on
the market today.
The control surface gives system users
real-time knobs and buttons to control
functions. In addition to a joystick
controller with separate pan, tilt and
zoom speed adjustment knobs, there
are controls for red & blue gain, detail,
iris and gain.
Two Precision Camera Controllers can be linked together to allow the user to control all cameras from
either controller. The system is capable of storing up to 14 pan, tilt and zoom position presets per camera.
Two discrete control buses can be configured to select PTZ cameras, as well as control an external
switcher or mixer via either RS-232 or tally outputs on the back of the console.
Precision Camera Controller is the ideal camera control system for a variety of applications, including
houses of worship, local government, videoconferencing, live event production and other situations where
PTZ camera control is required.

Color and Shading Controls

Controls for red and blue gain, detail, iris and

A large focus wheel for fast, accurate manual

allow manual adjustment of focus, and then with
a second button push, will zoom the camera out
to its previous zoom position.
