Product Overview The Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD MV Camera Control Console is a 6x2 seamless video switcher with integrated PTZ joystick control, designed for live production environments including houses of worship, broadcast studios, auditoriums, and multi-camera conference facilities. Supporting HD video up to 1080p60, the console accepts RGBHV, component, composite, S-Video, DVI, and HDMI sources, and outputs dual program feeds with built-in multiviewer capabilities and lower-third graphics insertion. This commercial-grade camera control console consolidates PTZ camera management and live video switching in a single rack-capable unit. Product Description The ProductionVIEW HD MV eliminates the need for separate PTZ joystick controllers and standalone video switchers. The integrated 3-axis Hall-effect joystick provides precise pan, tilt, and zoom control for up to six cameras simultaneously, with 12 stored position presets per camera (72 total). Dedicated CCU control knobs for focus, iris, and transition speed are built into the panel face, giving operators hands-on control without menu navigation. The 6x2 seamless switcher supports transitions including cross-fade, nine wipe patterns, cut, and fade to black. An overlay system enables computer graphics—lower-third titles, station IDs, and other graphics—to be inserted over program output at adjustable sizes and transparency levels. Inputs 1–5 use DB-15 connectors for analog HD component, composite, S-Video, or VGA signals; Input 6 provides a DVI-I port for RGBHV, DVI-D, or HDMI. Both program and multiviewer/preview output pairs include analog (DB-15) and digital (DVI-D/HDMI) options. Six discrete RS-232 RJ45 camera control ports auto-detect and control Vaddio, Sony, Panasonic, and Canon PTZ cameras without daisy-chaining. An RS-232 input supports optional Vaddio TeleTouch multiviewer touchscreen displays for thumbnail-based source switching and preset recall.
