               Page 3 of 18 

 

Key Technical Features (continued): 

 

Video Transitions 

Video transitions are truly seamless with exceptional video quality.  The transition times are 
assignable from zero (0) to four (4) seconds and include: 

  Fades (in, out, fade to black with main off) 

  Cross Fades (one image fades into another) 

  Wipes (side to side, up and down and corner) 

  Straight Cuts  

 

 

3-Axis Hall-Effect Joystick

 - High quality Hall-Effect joystick allows for control of Pan/Tilt (X/Y 

coordinates) and the Zoom function (twist for Z or zoom axis).  This non-contacting joystick uses 
industrial quality magnets and sensors, providing solid, consistent performance throughout its entire 
lifetime.  

 

Operator (manual) and Presenter (automatic) modes

 - In addition to a manual or “operator” mode, 

an Automatic Camera Switching mode for switching to camera presets assigned to Vaddio input 
triggers like the StepVIEW mats, AutoVIEW IR or TouchVIEW buttons is provided. 

 

Camera Control - 

Each camera input has individual control for Pan/Tilt/Zoom and auto/manual focus, 

auto/manual brightness, backlight compensation and one-push automatic white balance. 

 

72 Total Camera Presets 

– 12 Presets per camera input channel are stored internally and are not 

dependent on the internal presets of the camera. 

 

Master RS-232 Control Port

 - In addition to the six (6) discrete camera control ports, the Master 

control port can be used to control any of the internal functions of the ProductionVIEW FX or for 
software updates.
