O VERVIEW :
In our continuing drive to redefine camera control, Vaddio™
introduces the Precision Camera Controller system. Designed to
control up to seven PTZ cameras, the Precision Camera
Controller can be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction
with a variety of video switchers or mixers on the market today.
The control surface gives system users real-time knobs and
buttons to control functions. In addition to a joystick controller
with separate pan, tilt and zoom speed adjustment knobs, there
are controls for red & blue gain, detail, iris and gain.
The system is capable of storing up to 14 pan, tilt and zoom position presets per camera. Two discrete control
buses can be configured to select PTZ cameras, as well as control an external switcher or mixer via either RS-232
or tally outputs on the back of the console.
Precision Camera Controller is the ideal camera control system for a variety of applications, including houses of
worship, local government, live event production and other situations where PTZ camera control is required.

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.
