ProductionVIEW HD Manual 341-759 Rev. C Page 21 of 24
Appendix 1: RS-232 Control
The ProductionVIEW HD has six (6) discrete camera control ports which eliminates the need for daisy-
chaining control cabling. With ProductionVIEW HD, all cabling configurations are home-run wiring
configurations. Each Channel will auto-configure the input channel for control of the camera attached.
Vaddio uses simple control protocols to accomplish custom programming with the ProductionVIEW HD.
