Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD Camera Control Console

ProductionVIEW HD is a multi-camera control console that folds PTZ camera control, multi-format HD/SD live switching, and real-time graphics into one surface. Because it is a purpose-built broadcast console rather than a computer, the whole system runs at a single frame of delay, which is what makes it usable for image magnification at a live event. Real knobs and buttons handle focus, iris, zoom speed, transitions and camera presets, so an operator works the show directly instead of digging through menus.

A multi-format 6 x 2 switcher accepts any mix of HD component, RGBHV and SD inputs with per-input up/down conversion, and offers cuts, dissolves, nine wipe patterns, fade-to-black, picture-in-picture and a lower-screen graphics overlay. A broadcast-style three-axis joystick plus discrete pan, tilt and speed knobs drive six auto-sensing RS-232 camera ports, with twelve presets per camera and compatibility across Vaddio, Panasonic, Sony and Canon PTZ heads. In the box: the ProductionVIEW HD console, a PowerRite 18 VDC power supply, an AC cord set, and documentation.
