Vaddio PCC MatrixMIX - Live Production Camera Controller (999-5755-000)

Product Overview

The Vaddio PCC MatrixMIX is a broadcast-quality joystick controller designed for use with the Vaddio AV Bridge MatrixMIX production switcher. It consolidates video switching, PTZ camera control, and graphics mixing into a single ergonomic unit, giving AV operators a unified interface for live production environments. The full-color touchscreen, three-axis Hall-effect joystick, and illuminated camera selection buttons provide fast, precise control in broadcast studios, auditoriums, and all-hands rooms. All controls are accessible via an embedded web server, enabling operation from anywhere on the network.

Product Description

The PCC MatrixMIX is designed for AV operators and integrators who need a dedicated, purpose-built controller for multi-camera live production workflows. Unlike general-purpose control systems, this unit is built around the specific requirements of the Vaddio AV Bridge MatrixMIX switcher — combining video source selection, PTZ camera movement, and graphics controls in a physical controller that operators can rely on under live production pressure.

The primary input device is a three-axis Hall-effect joystick, which provides smooth, proportional pan/tilt/zoom control across connected Vaddio RoboSHOT and ClearSHOT cameras. Hall-effect joysticks use no mechanical contact, delivering long-term reliability and consistent response without the drift associated with lower-quality mechanisms — a meaningful consideration in broadcast and live event environments where equipment inconsistency is not acceptable.

A full-color touchscreen provides direct access to camera functions without requiring operators to navigate menus during a live production. Pan, tilt, and zoom speed knobs let operators calibrate camera movement sensitivity to the environment. Illuminated push buttons for camera selection provide at-a-glance status — critical in multi-camera setups where the operator must instantly know which camera is active. A large focus knob with auto/manual toggle allows precise focus control during close-up shots.

Browser-based control via the embedded web server means system administrators can configure the PCC MatrixMIX from any networked device. Preset store and recall, CCU settings, and IP management for connected cameras are handled through this interface, reducing the need for physical access during normal operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Vaddio switcher does the PCC MatrixMIX controller work with?
The PCC MatrixMIX is designed specifically for the Vaddio AV Bridge MatrixMIX production switcher. It requires the MatrixMIX switcher for full functionality.

How many cameras can it control?
The number of cameras is determined by the connected AV Bridge MatrixMIX configuration. The controller manages all cameras connected through the MatrixMIX system, with illuminated buttons for direct selection.

Can the PCC MatrixMIX be used remotely?
Yes. All controls are available through a browser-based interface via the embedded web server, allowing access from any network-connected device without physical presence at the controller.

What types of cameras are compatible?
The PCC MatrixMIX controls Vaddio RoboSHOT and ClearSHOT PTZ cameras connected through the AV Bridge MatrixMIX system.

Does the controller support color matching across multiple cameras?
Yes. CCU (camera control unit) functionality allows adjustment of color balance, exposure, and other camera parameters for visual consistency across all cameras in a multi-camera production.

What warranty does this product carry?
The PCC MatrixMIX is covered by Vaddio's standard commercial AV warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms or service options.
