Appendix 1: RS-232 Control
The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI has six (6) discrete camera control ports which eliminates the need for
daisy-chaining control cabling. With ProductionVIEW HD-SDI, all cabling configurations are home-run
wiring configurations. Each Channel will auto-configure the input channel for control of the camera
attached.
Vaddio uses simple control protocols to accomplish custom programming with the ProductionVIEW HD-
SDI. The Communication Specification, API and Programming Language are listed below and definitions
are listed on the next page. Note: All commands must be followed by a carriage return.
