RS-232 Control
The ProductionVIEW PRECISION CAMERA CONTROLLER has six (7) discrete camera control ports which
eliminates the need for daisy-chaining control cabling. With both the ProductionVIEW and ProductionVIEW
PRECISION CAMERA CONTROLLER, all cabling configurations are home-run type or “star” wiring
configurations. Each Channel will auto-configure the input channel for video signal and control for the camera
attached.
Vaddio uses very simple control protocols to accomplish custom programming with the ProductionVIEW and
ProductionVIEW PRECISION CAMERA CONTROLLER. The Communication Specification, API and
Programming Language are listed below and definitions are listed on the next page thereafter.
