Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV Camera Control Console with Built-in Multiviewer

The Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV Production Switcher with integrated camera controller and multiviewer is a powerful, cost effective and easy to operate platform for live presentation environments. With Vaddio's revolutionary TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel (optional, sold separately), production operators can easily see and switch all live video feeds and create "video thumbnails" of preset camera shots with the touch of their finger. ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV is a broadcast quality 6 x 2 multi-format, seamless video mixer that also provides two discrete outputs for dual bus program feeds (two independent 6 x 1 switchers/mixers).

Accepting any combination of HD-SDI/SDI input signals from inputs 1 through 5 with Input 6 providing a DVI-I input, the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV supports HD resolutions up to and including 1080p/60fps. The optional TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel allows the camera operator to see and switch all the live video feeds by simply touching the windows that they want controlled. The Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screens are available in two sizes; 18.5" rack-mount (7-RU) version or a 22" with base. Each camera input can have up to 12 stored "video thumbnails" of each preset camera shot. These video thumbnail images provide an easy way to identify and recall preset camera positions. The new Multi-View Touch Screen Control Panel Layout Options for the TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel allows integrators to match the touch screen layout to the number of camera, computer or other video input sources that are connected to the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV.

The Single or Dual Bus Multiviewer Output mode allows separate Preview and Multiviewer Video Outputs to be displayed. The Preview and Multiviewer Video Output Menus are used to select and set the Preview or Multiviewer video output resolutions. The Program outputs provide simultaneous HDSDI program output and HDMI program outputs. The Preview outputs have been configured with an HD-SDI output and dual HDMI outputs. One of the HDMI outputs can be used as a second preview output or as a multiviewer preview output (with the use of the Vaddio supplied HDMI to DVI-D cable adapter) supporting a Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel. The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV control surface is laid out to allow a novice to operate the system with minimal training.

Optional TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel with Multi-View Panel Layout Options
The TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel (optional) with the new Multi-View touch screen control panel layout options allows integrators to match the touch screen layout to the number of camera, computer or other video input sources that are connected to the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV. The Multi-View feature maximizes the potential screen size available for previewing live feeds and prevents unused blank multi-viewer input windows from being seen. Multi-View allows the user to choose from four to six input windows and provides two larger preview and program windows with red and green tally window borders, which indicate the current output selections.

The TeleTouch Touch Screen Control Panel also eliminates the need for individual preview monitors and allows the camera operator to see and switch all the live video feeds by simply touching the windows that they want controlled. Each camera input can have up to 12 stored "video thumbnails" of each preset camera shot. These video thumbnail images provide an easy way to identify and recall preset camera positions on a per input basis in the preview window that greatly simplifies overall console operation.

Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screen Controller (optional)
The Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screen Controller allows the operator to see and switch all live feeds by touching the windows. The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV outputs can provide either a standard preview output or a multiviewer preview output with support for two monitors, one of the outputs supporting a Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screen Controller. The Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screens are available in two sizes; 18.5" (P/N: 999-5520-185) rack-mount or a standard 22" (P/N: 999-5520-022) with base.

Multiviewer
The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV multiviewer feature eliminates the need for individual preview monitors. The multiviewer output allows the operator to see all live video feeds displayed on a single monitor.

Multi-View Panel Layout Options
This feature allows the user to choose from four, five or six input windows on the multiviewer screen image and also provides two larger preview and program windows with red and green tally window borders, which indicate the current output selections. The Multi-View feature maximizes the potential screen size available for previewing live feeds and prevents unused blank multiviewer input windows from being seen.

Camera Video Thumbnail Presets
Each camera input can store up to 12 stored "video thumbnails" of preset PTZ camera preset positions for 72 total presets. The Vaddio TeleTouch Touch Screen Controller provides the ability to switch to any one of the 12 stored "video thumbnails" with the touch of a finger.

Video Switcher
The internal video switcher can be configured as a traditional video switcher, using the TAKE button or DUAL BUS mode (essentially two 6 x 1 video switchers).

Single or Dual Bus Multiviewer Output Mode
Single or Dual Bus Multiviewer Output allows separate Preview and Multiviewer Video Outputs to be displayed in either Single Bus or Dual Bus mode. The Preview and Multiviewer Video Output Menus are used to select and set the Preview or Multiviewer video output resolutions. The Preview DVI-D Output can be set to a selected discrete output resolution and the YPbPr Output can be set to a selected discrete output resolution.

Anything In, Anything Out
The inputs auto-detect the video resolution and the outputs have user configurable discrete video resolution settings.

Graphic Insertion
Graphics may be inserted as "lower-thirds" using the Lower Screen Graphics (LSG) feature. LSG can be set up to cover the bottom 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 or full screen, with 10 adjustable steps of transparency levels between the graphic and the video image behind it.

Graphic Templates
A variety of graphic templates are included on a DVD supplied with the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV in both Keynote and PowerPoint, to help guide users in creating professional Lower Screen Graphics quickly and easily.

3-Axis, 1-Button, Hall Effect Joystick

Automatic Mode
