Vaddio, the leading designer and OEM distributor
of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems
used in the broadcasting, audio/visual and videoconferencing
industries, introduced the newest addition to the ProductionVIEW
line of camera control systems, ProductionVIEW HD.
Designed to handle the most demanding live broadcast or staging
events, yet it's still simple enough to allow a novice to
control a multi-camera shoot like a pro. ProductionVIEW HD
integrates PTZ camera control and multi-format HD/SD live
switching with real-time graphics and effects into one easy-to-use
control console.
"The completely redesigned control surface gives system
users real-time knobs and switches to control functions, as
opposed to an endless programming menu," stated Rob Sheeley,
president and CEO. "Because ProductionVIEW HD is a live
broadcast production console, not a computer, the entire system
produces only one frame of delay – a critical requirement
for live production where image magnification is used."
The system's multi-format 6 x 2 switcher accepts any combination
of input signals from HD component video, RGBHV and SD video
(HD at component 1080P, 1080i and 720p; SD video Y/C or composite;
and RGBHV up to UXGA resolutions). All inputs feature both
up/down conversion capabilities, while other mixers only include
two discrete outputs for independent program feeds –
each having its own user selectable output resolutions. A
wide variety of transitions, including cuts, dissolves and
wipes, can be achieved through user-selectable buttons built
into the control surface. Furthermore, a new Lower Screen
Graphic (LSG) function allows users to add lower third graphics
to their presentations.
Camera control elements include a broadcast-style Hall Effect
Joystick with twist handle zoom control, as well as separate
Pan, Tilt and Speed control knobs. There are six discrete
auto-sensing RS-232 camera control ports and 12 camera pre-sets
per camera for sto! ring fre quent shots.
Additional lens features include a large production-style
Manual Focus wheel, an Iris control knob allowing for live
manual adjustments, push control buttons for auto iris and
focus, and a Zoom Speed knob to control the speed of the electronic
zoom lens. ProductionVIEW HD is compatible with Vaddio, Sony,
and Canon PTZ camera systems. Vaddio Breaks New Ground with
ProductionVIEW HD Multi-Camera Control System.
