the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick that will not operate with certain camera platforms. For a list of
control exceptions, please contact Vaddio Technical Support.
• Control of External Video Switchers or other Control Devices
• Built-in RS-232 Codes
The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has RS-232 codes built-in to the console to control the
Edirol® V-44SW, Extron® ISS-506 and the Analog Way® Eventix EVX8022 video switchers.
Switcher selection, configuration and transition times are handled through the Menu System.
• The Extron ISS-506 is a 6x2 seamless switcher that lines up well with the 6x2 external
control switches on the front panel.
• The Edirol is an 8-channel switcher/mixer (4 SD video and 4 HD video) and can be
configured for control of 6 of the 8 channels in the following combinations; 3-SD & 3-HD,
4-SD & 2-HD or 4-HD & 2SD.
• The Analog Way Eventix EVX8022 is an 8x2 switcher/mixer. The Super Joystick
switches only the first six inputs, effectively using it as a 6x2 configuration.
Currently only these switchers are supported for RS-232 control. Other switchers may be added
in future firmware releases.
• External Triggers/Tally Contacts
The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has 2 rows of 6 external control buttons on the front panel
which directly correspond to the External Triggers/Tally Contacts on the rear panel. With these
contact closures, video switchers such as the Extron SW series switchers can be controlled from
the front panel buttons of the Super Joystick. These triggers can be configured as active high or
active low. The contacts are latching, TTL type and are not relays and no voltage should be
applied to these triggers at any time.
• Reporting RS-232 Button Pushes
The button pushes on the front panel can also be reported to the RS-232 port allowing for use
with an external control system to translate the RS-232 out of the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick
to any other RS-232 controllable device available.
• 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.
• 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 - Dual Mode - Twelve presets per camera input channel are stored
internally and are not dependent on the internal presets of the camera. There are two modes for
camera preset storage in the ProductionVIEW consoles. All twelve (12) presets can be stored
internally, or six can be stored in the camera (1 through 6) and six stored internally (7 through 12).
Storing presets in the cameras allows for quicker switching since position feedback is not needed.
• Speed Switching Modes - The Super Joystick can be set so the External Control A or the External
Control B buttons can be tied to the Camera Selection buttons. For example, in Select follows
External A mode (
Sel Follow Ext A) , the Camera Selection buttons follow the External A button pushes
which transfers full camera control to that camera selected by the A bus buttons.
