AutoPresenter Overview
The Vaddio AutoPresenter is a six (6) input
Automated Content Presentation System
(ACPS™) and PTZ camera control system
designed for a variety of presenter controlled
applications with Vaddio’s preset camera
trigger devices such as the MicVIEW™,
StepVIEW™ mats, AutoVIEW™ IR Sensors,
PresenterPOD™ and TouchVIEW™.
The AutoPresenter can be used as a stand-
alone video switcher or seamlessly
integrated with the Vaddio ProductionVIEW
Precision Camera Controller and the
amazing AutoTrak Presenter Tracking
System.
The AutoPresenter has 72 preset trigger inputs (138 total triggers accessible through RS-232 and through
Multi-Step presets) and can automate any classroom or presentation environment, allowing a presenter
or instructor to move about a classroom and switch up to six HD or SD video cameras, computer inputs or
any other video source. Video transitions between sources include cuts, crossfades and a variety of
wipes from .01 seconds to a full 4.0 seconds. First Step, Last Step or Multi-Step modes establish trigger
priorities and allow for a preset shot to be assigned to two (2) separate triggers activated at the same
time. PIP (Picture in Picture) is provided and can be arranged in five (5) different positions and in three
(3) different sizes. PIP can be assigned to a camera shot preset and has independent sizing and
positioning within each preset and is easily controlled with the very easy to operate Vaddio PresenterPOD
System.
The AutoPresenter’s multi-format 6 x 1 video switcher accepts any combination of input signals from HD
YPbPr video (1080p, 1080i or 720p) or SD (Y/C & composite) and RGBHV (up to UXGA resolutions). All
inputs can be scaled or converted to a single resolution (HD, SD or RGBHV up to WUXGA) on buffered
dual outputs. Compatible PTZ cameras include Vaddio, Sony®, Panasonic® and Canon®.
The AutoPresenter is an outstanding camera control system and is at the core of Vaddio’s Automated
Content Presentation System technology. Applications for the AutoPresenter include videoconferencing,
distance education, houses of worship, local government meetings and live event production.
Key Technical Features:
 Seamless Video Switcher: When one of the six (6) input buttons is pressed, the seamless video
switcher transitions from the current input to the new input.
 72 Internal Trigger Presets: The console is equipped with automatic preset recall and camera
switching when combined with Vaddio’s StepVIEW Mats, AutoVIEW IR, Presenter Pod, MicVIEW and
other trigger devices, allowing AutoPresenter to be set up for use without an operator present.
 Additional Presets: Additional presets can also be stored from our Precision Camera Controller (14
presets per camera) making AutoPresenter extremely flexible in a variety of installation options.
 Anything In - Anything Out: The inputs and output have discrete video resolution settings. See the
specifications at the end of the manual for additional information on all of the resolutions supported.
 Dual Outputs: Dual outputs (same resolution) can be run to separate devices that will accept an
analog video signal, often avoiding the need for a distribution amplifier.
 Tally Ports: The AutoPresenter also has six Tally ports for controlling tally lights on external
sources, such as Vaddio’s WallVIEW CCUs and PreVIEW HD monitors.
 Camera Auto-Sensing: The AutoPresenter is capable of auto-sensing each PTZ camera attached.
