PresenterPOD Overview:
The PresenterPOD is a perfect complement to the
Vaddio AutoPresenter™ or ControlVIEW™ XHD video
switcher and automated camera control systems and
the Hot-Shot Preset Camera Controller. The system
allows the presenter to walk up to a work area such as a
lectern, teaching station or whiteboard and quickly have
access to the AutoPresenter inputs, Pan/Tilt/Zoom
camera presets and even the PIP on/off.
Two (2) large round buttons located on the
PresenterPOD offer the presenter flexible control over
the automated content on other presets and other
necessary content sources. A third small square button
is available for PIP on/off if the PIP is stored within any
of the presets activated by the PresenterPOD. Even the
Logo button can be used as a trigger.
The system uses the Vaddio EZCamera™ cabling standard, which connects the PresenterPOD via a single Cat-
5e cable to the PresenterPOD Interface for the provision of power and transmission of data between the devices.
The PresenterPOD Interface can support up to two (2) PresenterPODs. The PresenterPOD Interface can be
assigned to output latching, momentary triggers or any combination depending on the design requirements.
The PresenterPOD combined with the Vaddio Automated Content Presentation Systems provides a truly
innovative approach to automating people and content presentation systems with easy to understand presenter
control options.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the
one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Save These Instructions:
The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product
drawings for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from
www.vaddio.com free of charge.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
pin-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.
