ProductionVIEW HD-SDI-SDI Overview

The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI-SDI (Figure 1) incorporates seam less video switching, c amera pres et control and joystick camera control functionality into one of the most fully featured video consoles on the market today. In addition, ProductionVIEW HD-SDI delivers user selectable H D -SDI or SD-SDI inp uts , and will up or down scale the outp ut signal to a variety of resolutions in either HD-SDI o r SD-SDI with o nly one frame of delay.
Video graphics insertio n (i.e. “lower thir d”) is available through our uniqu e Lower Screen Graph ics (LSG) feature. LSG allo ws users to insert graphics from a variety of gra phics programs, including Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Apple® Ke ynote®, MediaShout® or virtually any presentation software application. LSG provides graphics insertion without the added latency or complexity of luminance or chroma keying.
The ProductionVIEW HD -SDI-SDI c ontrol surf ace is laid out to allow ev en a n ovice t o oper ate t he s ystem with minimal training.
Video Switcher -- T he internal video s witcher can be conf igured as a tradit ional video switch er, using the Take button, or Dual Bus mode.
Dual Bus Mode – Dual Bus allows users to switch two separate programs (i.e. IMAG for live presentations on the Progr am 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. Either set of outputs can be configured for SD-SDI or HD-SDI.
Graphic Insertion -- Graphics may be inserted as “lower-thirds” using the Lower Screen Graphics (LSG) feature. LSG can be s et up to c over th e bottom ¼,, ½ or full scr een, with 10 adj us ta ble ste ps of transparency levels between the graphic and the video image behind it.
Anything In / Anything Out – The inputs and o utputs have disc rete SDI video res olutio n settin gs. See the specifications on page 19 for additional information on all of the resolutions supported.
PTZ Camera Joystick -- T he ProductionVIEW HD -SDI includes a joystick c ontroller to operate up to six (6) PTZ cameras directly (w ithout daisy chaining) and th e six discrete camera c ontrol ports auto­sense the PTZ camera attached. Vaddio, Panasonic®, Sony® and Canon® PTZ cameras are compatible with Pr oductionVIEW HD-SDI (see the list of specific m odels). Each input has a camera selector to allow 12 preset PTZ positions to be stored.
Transitions -- On the c ontrol surface, buttons f or the type of effect (dissolve, wip e or cut) as well as wipe patterns are sel ectable. The transiti on time is adjustable thr ough a knob on the console, from zero (0) to four (4) seconds.
Automatic Mode -- The console is equipped with an Automatic Camera Switching Mode (for compatible PTZ cameras on inputs 1 & 2), and when combined with Vaddio’s StepVIEW Mats, MicVIEW or other tr igger devices, allows Productio nVIEW HD-SDI to be set up f or use without an operator present. Preset triggers or Tally Outputs can be used, but not simultaneously.
Tally Outputs -- The Produc tionVIEW HD-SDI also ha s six Tally outputs for c ontrolling tally lights on external sources, such as Vaddio’s WallVIEW CCUs and PreVIEW HD monitors.
Graphic Templates -- A variety of graphic templates are included on a DVD supplied with ProductionVIEW HD -SDI in both Keynote and Pow erPoint, to help guide us ers to create prof essional graphics quickly and easily.
Additional Features – Other features include auto/manual focus, auto/manual iris, backlight compensation and automatic white balance for compatible PTZ cameras.

Operating the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI:
Most of the consol e functions and controls are eas y and intuitive. Over the nex t few pages there are details on how the different functions operate.
Camera Controls
The controls that can be used to adjust a PTZ camera are highlig hted in the diagram to th e right (mechanical functions are i n gr ay, and electronic in blue).
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI is shipped with “Select Follow Preview” as the default setting. In this configuration, the camera that is selected on the Preview bus will automatically choose the appropriate Camera Select button in the upper right corner. In this example, Input 1 is a PTZ camera on the Preview bus and the Camera Select is illuminated on Input 1 (“1” with a circle around the number) . The Camera Presets belo w, are available for storing camera preset positions and recalling the stored presets.
3-Axis Joystick: Within the menus, the 3-axis joystick is programm able for pan, tilt and zoom direc tion control. The zoom-in/zoom-out, tilt-up/tilt-down and pan-left/pan-right commands can be inverted on all 3­axis to customize cont rol of the PTZ cameras attached to ProductionVIEW HD-SDI. Pan, Tilt and Zoom speed can be adjusted on controls above t he joystick . NOT E: The speed s ettings ar e discrete on a per­camera basis.
Preset Location Storage Options: This feature allows the user to store 12 camera presets in the ProductionVIEW HD -SDI or have the opt ion of storing 6 camera pr esets (1 through 6) in t he camera and 6 presets (7 through 1 2) in the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI. When storing the presets in the camera, the user is allowed to speed switch camera presets. Please see the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI Menu Structure, System Menu for access to the Preset location parameter.
Setting Camera Presets : To program PTZ camera pres ets, press and hold th e Camer a Select button for five seconds. The Camera Presets buttons (1 thru 12) will begin to flash. Move the camera to the desired PTZ position, and select one of the Camera Pres ets buttons to store the position. Repeat the process for each pres et position that is required to be stored, up to 12 tota l positions per PTZ c amera. A non-flashing preset button has a location stored, but can be overwritten.
Select Follows Preview: When “Select Follows Pre view” is activated, the camera selected for control is the camera selected by the Preview bus selection. The operator selects the camera to be previewed, and control (joystick and cam era control) is transferred to that cam era. NOTE: The default position for this feature from the factory is ‘on’.
Focus, Iris, Auto W hite Balance and Bac klight Compens ation: W hen the Auto Focus or Auto Ir is buttons are turned off, the manual f ocus and iris k nobs can be used to adjus t these functions on compatible PT Z cameras that are connected to the system. Auto White Balance (AWB) automatically adjusts the camera’s color setti ngs b as ed o n lighting and other factors. Backlight Compensation (BLC) opens the ir is to allow objects in front of windows and other bright backgrounds to be more visible.
NOTE: Backlight Compensation can only be used when the Auto White Balance is turned on.
Dual Bus Mode: Select Follow Preview is disabled when the system is set for Dual Bus mode.
Note: Camera presets contain all the camera information besides the Pan/Tilt/Zoom position including brightness, focus, backlight, zoom-speed and others as well. The particular control saved under each camera preset is a function of the parameters available on a per camera basis. Note: camera presets will not sa ve s peci f ic s et ti ng s of a Quick-Connect CCU, if it is connected to ProductionVIEW HD-SDI.

In “Local” mode, the ProductionVIEW stores all 12 presets internally
In “6 InCam 6 Local” mode, the presets 1 through 6 will be stored in the cameras.
Presets 7 through 12 will be stored in the ProductionVIEW.
Note: The “6 InCam 6 Local” mode allows for switching video sources when cameras are moving
to preset locations. Since Presets are stored in Camera, the system does not have
to wait for position feedback before allowing another command to be entered.

Note: Settle time allows the user to s et up the time delay between press ing the Take but ton and

With a l ower settle time, t here is a greater chance that a blue screen will appear on the Program output, when the video is switched quickly, and repeatedly. In m ost applications this will not be an issue. In Singl e 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.
Note: FTB Time allows the user to set up a length of time that a fade to black on the Program

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.
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
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.
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.
