Set-up and Programming
First Time Set-up with the AutoPresenter:
AutoPresenter was designed to be exceptionally easy to program and use. All of the Vaddio standards
for transmitting RS-232 control over Cat. 5 cabling are in this manual and available free of charge from
the Vaddio website.
Getting Started:
1.
Connect all of the cameras, monitors and peripheral devices to AutoPresenter. The back panel has
standard VGA connectors, and Vaddio offers four different break out cables for the inputs/outputs; one
for SD video (composite on inputs & outputs, Y-C also on inputs) and three cables (7 in., 3 ft. or 6 ft.)
for component HD/SD video (YPbPr).
2.
When applicable, connect the RS-232 port on the AutoPresenter to an available serial port on a
control system (i.e. Crestron®, AMX®, etc.).
3.
Trigger Devices: Connect wires from the trigger devices (i.e. StepVIEW mat, AutoVIEW IR, MicVIEW,
etc.) to each designated port. One wire will go to the trigger input and the other will go to one of the
“G” (Ground) ports. See the specific trigger devices for additional information on installation. Make
note as to what trigger device is connected to which specific trigger port on the back of AutoPresenter.
NOTE: The dual outputs Video Outputs of the AutoPresenter will deliver the same resolution.
Once all of the inputs, outputs, trigger devices and the PowerRite power supply are connected, plug the
AC cord into an outlet. AutoPresenter will boot up and scan for cameras. After boot up, a menu will
appear on the blue LCD screen.
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. 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 to the previous menu.
NOTE:
For additional information on the menu structure, see pages 17 through 20
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.
After all inputs/outputs have been set, touch the arrow up to RESCAN VIDEO. Press SELECT. At
START press SELECT again. All video resolutions will now be configured. Any time an input or output
source is changed you will need to perform the RESCAN VIDEO function for the new settings.
Configuring PTZ Cameras
After configuring the input and output resolutions, arrow down to, and select CAM SEARCH MENU on the
LCD screen. Arrow down to PORT 1 and press select. Next, select the type of camera that is connected
to Port 1 (i.e. if a Canon PTZ camera is connected, select CANON ONLY). Repeat the process for each
port, based on the type of camera that is connected. For Vaddio PTZ cameras, select AUTO SEARCH.
NOTE:
If no PTZ camera is connected to specific Control Ports, select “No Camera” in the “Cam Search
Menu” to speed up the boot-up process.
