Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera Control Systems

The Vaddio ControlVIEW Xtreme Camera

Control System begins a new generation

in camera control systems. The system

is designed to control up to four PTZ

cameras and assign up to 72 total system

camera preset positions to any or all cameras. The ControlVIEW Xtreme works with any

VISCA controllable PTZ camera and has four video inputs for cameras one through four. The

internal four port video switcher automatically switches the video to that of the triggered camera.

Vaddio has a complete line of camera control triggering devices including the AutoVIEW

™

IR,

StepVIEW

™

, TouchVIEW

™

and MicVIEW

™

that can automate your camera control projects.

Presets can also be controlled by any number of different types of devices such as microphone

mixers, control systems, and contact closure devices.

Included Accessories

• 12 VDC power supply

• IR remote control

Technical Features

72 Camera Presets

The ControlVIEW Xtreme can store up to 72

camera presets in the main control system.

This allows you to have as many presets as you

want and not be limited by the internal preset

limitations of the camera. Any combination of

presets can be assigned as needed between

the four cameras.

Four Port Video Switcher

A four port S-Video switcher is built into the

ControlVIEW Xtreme. The switcher can be auto-

matically switched by preset activation, manually

switched on the front panel or be switched by

using the IR remote control. The system pro-

gramming allows for setting up a default camera

video selection or a camera preset default.

VISCA Camera Compatibility

The ControlVIEW Xtreme can support any PTZ

camera that has a complete VISCA camera

control command set (such as the Sony

EVI

Series Cameras). Up to four PTZ cameras can

be controlled by the ControlVIEW Xtreme.

Universal Microphone Mixer Camera

Control Interface

Provides an integrator with an easy solution to

provide PTZ camera control with a new or

existing microphone mixer that has outputs for

gate status (also called logic outputs). Logic

outputs normally refer to a software/hardware

mixer that has variable gate status control

outputs that tell a external control device what

microphone is being switched on and off. The

ControlVIEW Xtreme takes that signal and

switches to the appropriate camera and preset

assigned to that microphone. Signal switching

on most mixers can be done by voice activation

or by push-to-talk microphones. The ControlVIEW

Xtreme can then be programmed to assign that

microphone to any one of four cameras and

then give it one of the 72 system camera pre-

sets. ControlVIEW Xtreme only requires that

the mixers logic/gate status output must provide

an ‘active high’ (up to 5 V) or ‘active low’ (0 V)

signaling.

Automatic Camera Detection

ControlVIEW Xtreme automatically detects the

number and type of camera on the system and

assigns them accordingly. Camera assignment

is based on their location on the daisy-chain

control string.

IR Remote Control

An IR remote control is included with the

ControlVIEW Xtreme. The remote provides the

ability to control camera selection, PTZ functions

and all camera preset programming.

Control Options

The following equipment can be integrated and provide camera preset control triggering to the ControlVIEW

Xtreme Camera Controller.

Audio/Mixers

With a ControlVIEW Xtreme you can interface with any mixer that provides an ‘active high’ (up to 5 V) or ‘active

low’ (0 V) ate status output.

MicVIEW™

Vaddio’s MicVIEW is an automated 12-input microphone switching/mixing system that was designed for distance

education and other videoconferencing applications. MicVIEW integrates directly with the ControlVIEW Xtreme

Camera Control by using the optional link cable. Up to eight MicVIEW units can be linked together to get a total

of 96 microphones.

TouchVIEW™

Vaddio’s TouchVIEW Wireless Remote Control System provides for individual RF remote control buttons that

can be placed on whiteboards, podiums, desktops, etc. so that the presenter can switch to any video preset they

desire as they move around the room. Up to 62 remote buttons can be used on a system.

AutoVIEW™

Vaddio’s AutoVIEW IR Ceiling-Mounted Presenter Camera Control System provides for automated presenter

control of camera presets programmed in the ControlVIEW Xtreme. At the IR sensor detects the presenter,

cameras and presets change automatically allowing for hands-free camera tracking. The AutoVIEW Active IR

Sensor is adjustable for precise presenter control over each IR sensing zone.

StepVIEW™

The StepVIEW System works by having the presenter step on the heavy-duty, presence sensing and non-slip

auto locator mats in the area that the cameras are to be used. Camera presets are assigned to those mat

locations and programmed into the ControlVIEW Xtreme. As the presenter walks to different areas in the room

the mats trigger the cameras to move to that area automatically.

Control Systems

The Vaddio ControlVIEW Xtreme can also be integrated with a control system such as Crestron

or AMX

using the RS-232 control port.

Contact Closure Interface

The preset input interface allows for connection of external devices such as switches, sensors, floormats, etc.

The contact must see an “active high’ (up to 5 V) or ‘active low’ (0 V).

Program Features

Front Panel Programming

A scrolling LCD menu display provides users with the ability to do system programming and can also be used

for user system control of PTZ cameras and system functions.

IR Remote Programming

System programming can be done with the provided IR remote control.

Switching Delay Settings

Both the camera switching delay and the video switching delay can be programmed to select the appropriate

delay time before switching to the default position or another camera. The settings are from 0 to 60 seconds.

There is also an OFF position which turns off the default position function.

Preset Recall ON/OFF

When the preset recall is ON the system switches to the default camera and user selected preset. When the

preset recall is OFF, only the default camera video is selected.

Default Camera Selector

Selects what camera will be the default camera when no other camera is being activated by the system.

Camera Video Delay

This feature delays switching the camera’s video output until the camera moves and zooms into place. This

feature is activated when switching between different cameras.

Crestron or AMX

The ControlVIEW Xtreme allows RS-232 control throught the external port.
