Unpacking:
Carefully remove all of the parts from the shipping box.
Unpack and identify the following parts for the Hot-Shot Preset Camera Controller:
 One (1) Hot-Shot Preset Camera Controller with three (3) 14-position Phoenix type spring cage connectors
 One (1) 12 VDC, 1.0 Amp PowerRite™ Power Supply with AC Cord Set
 Documentation (User Manual 342-0124)
Hot-Shot Key Features:

Each Hot-Shot can receive up to 36 physical trigger inputs from any trigger device.
For example; MicVIEW, AutoVIEW IR Sensor, StepVIEW Mats, TouchVIEW Buttons and PresenterPOD
(even paper clips too) can be used as triggers.
 Up to 4 Hot-Shots can be cascaded together for a total of 144 trigger inputs.
While TANDBERG and LifeSize do not offer that many camera presets, the Polycom systems offer up to 99.
 The Hot-Shot outputs RS-232 commands in the protocol of the selected device.
 Cisco C40, C60 and C90 series codecs and TANDBERG 6000MXP, 3000MXP
 Polycom HDX-9000 and HDX-8000
 LifeSize Room Series Codecs (with RS-232 Port)
 Vaddio Generic (for use with Crestron ® or AMX ® Systems)
 Vaddio HD-20, HD-19, HD-18 and HD-USB PTZ Cameras
 Flexible triggering modes are included.
The Hot-Shot can be set up as a “Last Step” or “First Step” triggering mode. Setting it up in Last Step Mode
allows for the last trigger activated to switch to that trigger’s preset. First Step trigger mode allows the first
trigger to activate and then prevent all other triggers until the first trigger is released.
 Default Idle Return to Preset 1.
Default idle return to preset 1 allows the system to use Preset # 1 (Polycom and TANDBERG MXP codecs
use Preset “0”) stored in the codec as the default camera shot when no triggers are present. This is
especially useful for a teacher’s or presenter’s position when setting up the room for teacher/student
discussions.
