First Time Set-up with the ProductionVIEW FX:
ProductionVIEW FX was designed to be exceptionally easy to use and operate right out of the box. The
controls are intuitive and logical and the connectivity or pin-outs are printed on the back panel for most
product connections (especially the Vaddio cabling standard using Cat. 5 cabling.) All of the Vaddio
standards for using video, power and control over Cat. 5 cabling are also well documented and are
available free of charge from the Vaddio website.
Getting Started:
Generally the best way to understand ProductionVIEW FX is to start using it. Connect a couple of
cameras to the ProductionVIEW FX using the Cat. 5 cable for control, and connect your choice of S-
Video or composite video from the camera, Quick Connect box or (Quick Connect 4) to the video inputs.
Connect power to the cameras with the Quick Connect system and then, when the cameras have power
and are on, turn on the ProductionVIEW FX. The ProductionVIEW FX will auto-detect the cameras that
are on and connected (RS-232 and video) and program itself to control, store presets and change camera
settings like brightness and focus for the specific camera attached.
