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. 

 

 

>PC Expander (New with firmware release V02.01.07) 

>Select (When PC Expander is detected, S-Video is chosen as default input) 

>Composite 
>S-Video

When PC Expander is connected to camera control port 6, the ProductionVIEW or 
ProductionVIEW FX will auto-detect it and setup control of the PC Expander.  On the MAIN 
bus assignment, buttons 1 through 5 switch the video inputs to the MAIN output like normal 
and route the video signal through the PC Expander which scales the video signal to a PC 
or HDTV resolution for display on a large format screen or projector.  When MAIN bus 
button 6 is selected, then the PC Expander will switch the PC input (connected to the PC 
Expander) to the large format screen or projector.  The video resolution and the PC 
resolution are matched and switchable from the front panel of the ProductionVIEW 
consoles in this mode.    
 
S-Video is the default and recommended.  If composite video is required by the user, then 
this menu must be changed to Composite.  None returns the ProductionVIEW back to 
normal operation when power cycled.
