ProductionVIEW Super Joystick Manual 341-565 Rev. B Page 2 of 16
Overview:
The Vaddio™ ProductionVIEW Super
Joystick is a unique integration joystick
contoller that is based on the
ProductionVIEW series of camera
controllers. The Super Joystick has six
individual RS-232C camera control ports for
direct control of PTZ cameras which
eliminates the need for daisy chain control
cabling. The camera control ports are on
RJ-45 connectors which easily connect to
the Vaddio EZCamera™ cabling packages
using a Cat. 5 wiring standard.
Each of the six camera control ports will auto-configure based on the robotic PTZ camera system
connected to that port upon boot up. Whether it is a Vaddio, Sony® or Canon® PTZ camera system the
ProductionVIEW Super Joystick senses the cameras and provides for seamless control of the camera
functions. Each of the six cameras attached has been supplied with 12 internally stored camera presets
effectively removing the internal preset limitations of the camera. Each of the six cameras attached can
also be adjusted individually for the operating environment with adjustments for auto/manual focus,
auto/manual brightness, backlight compensation and one push automatic white balance.
The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has two rows of six external control switches which can be used in a
variety of ways. These switches are tied to trigger outputs and can be used to control external video
switchers with contact closures or tally lights for studio applications. The Super Joystick also has
provision for external control of select HD switchers/mixers with built-in RS-232 codes in the system
menu. And like the ProductionVIEW FX, the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick console has a 4” LCD
preview monitor is built-in. Overall, the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick is a unique and advanced
camera controller that is unmatched in today’s market for functionality, convenience and value.
