Vaddio ProductionVIEW Reviews

Great PTZ camer switcher

By Mike
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2014-03-19

This is used for a church that broadcasts to local cable access channel with volunteer help. Combined with the teletouch monitor, it is a very simple to use system for what could be cumbersome.I can run the cameras and sound by myself if I had to - Man in his 70's getting 30 minutes of training.Our setup is sort of backwards. We have the Productionview HD MV with Teletouch monitor and some of the cheapest PTZ stadnard def cameras by Vaddio. We chose this combination because we did not need high def, so we tried to keep cost down. The PTZ cameras gave us angle we could not get with our traditional studio cameras and this switcher was very simple to use.We hope to make use of the triger inputs to further simplify running it should we need someone not trained to run it.IT does however lack Chromakey but it does have a lower screen graphic option

question

what is the maximum distant allowed between cameras and the Vaddio controller?
Asked by: Anonymous
The max distance on Cat 5 Cable is 50M, using Cat 6 one can get around 80M but we are using Adams 422 Fiber conversion boxes and are running it over 1KM on single mode fiber. The max distance using Fiber is 15KM.
