Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI - Manual (Page 6)

ProductionVIEW HD-SDI
First Time Set-up with the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI:
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI was designed to be exceptionally easy to use and operate right out of the box.
All of the Vaddio standards for using video (analog), power and control over Cat. 5 cabling are well
documented and are in the manual and available free of charge from the Vaddio website. HD-SDI and
SD-SDI video signals need to be transmitted over coax cabling that is capable of handling SDI signals.
Getting Started:
Connect all of the cameras, monitors and peripheral devices to ProductionVIEW HD-SDI. The back panel
has BNC connectors. On the next page is a diagram showing how to connect a Vaddio WallVIEW H700
CCU to ProductionVIEW HD-SDI. See Figures 4 & 5 for additional information.
NOTE: When connecting Panasonic HE100 PTZ cameras to the system, you must select Panasonic in
the Cam Search Menu (see page 15 for additional detail on this menu).
Once you have connected all of your inputs, outputs and the PowerRite power supply, plug the AC cord
into an outlet. ProductionVIEW HD-SDI will boot up and scan for cameras. As ProductionVIEW HD-SDI
boots up, it will automatically scan each input to confirm which ports have compatible PTZ cameras or
Add-A-Cam systems connected. After boot up, a menu will appear on the blue LCD screen. At this point,
some cameras may not be detected by ProductionVIEW HD. This situation will be resolved by following
the instructions below for configuring the system for the appropriate input/output resolutions, cameras that
are connected to the system, etc.
Configuring Output Resolutions
On the LCD screen, a chevron
(>) will be displayed next to the
menu item that is currently
selected. Press the Arrow Down
Button (
↓) adjacent to the LCD
screen, until the chevron is next
to “VIDEO OUTPUT MENU” and
then press the SELECT button.
Select PROGRAM OUTPUT,
which will display your options for video output resolution for the PROGRAM OUTPUT. Arrow down to
the appropriate resolution that is compatible with your video monitor, then press the SELECT button.
Then, press the CANCEL button to exit out to the previous menu.
Repeat the process for your Preview Output. Once you have selected the Program and Preview output
resolutions, press the CANCEL button to get back to the Main Menu. For additional information on the
menu tree structure, see pages 13 to 16 for additional information.
Configuring Input Resolutions
From the Main Menu, press the down arrow button, to move the chevron to VIDEO INPUT MENU, and
then press the SELECT button. If all input devices have the same resolution (i.e. 1080i / 59.94), then
select ALL PORTS. If not all inputs have the same resolution, then press the down arrow button to the
first input with a video device attached, and press SELECT. Choose the appropriate video resolution for
the video device connected to the input, and then press SELECT. Press the CANCEL button to exit the
resolution setting for the input. Repeat the process for all video inputs.
NOTE: Whether an input is a PTZ camera, or another video source, the input signal will need to be configured to the
proper video resolution of the device connected.
