Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV - 6x2 Live Production Console
Product Overview
The Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV is an all-in-one camera control console combining a 6×2 seamless HD-SDI video switcher, built-in multiviewer, PTZ camera controller, and Lower Screen Graphics in a single desktop unit. Designed for live production environments—houses of worship, government chambers, corporate event spaces, and broadcast studios—the system accepts five HD-SDI/SDI inputs (480i–1080p) plus one DVI-I input, with HD-SDI and HDMI outputs. The integrated 3-Axis Hall-Effect joystick and six auto-sensing RS-232 PTZ control ports support direct control of up to six Vaddio, Sony, Panasonic, or Canon cameras without daisy-chaining control cabling. At one frame of video delay, the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV meets the latency requirements of IMAG-based live production.
Product Description
The Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV (SKU: 999-5655-000) is a broadcast-quality 6×2 multi-format seamless video mixer that consolidates switching, camera control, multiviewing, and graphics overlay into a single operator console. Five HD-SDI/SDI inputs on BNC connectors accept signals from 480i through 1080p, including SMPTE 424M (3G single-link), SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 259M standards. Channel six accepts a DVI-I input supporting DVI-D, YPbPr, RGBHV, and HDMI formats with 36 additional input resolutions, providing flexibility for laptop, presentation graphics, or external video sources. Between the HD-SDI and HDMI outputs, 20 video output resolutions are selectable.
The built-in multiviewer supports selectable layouts showing four, five, or six input preview windows, with an option to swap the Preview and Program windows on the multiviewer output. Dual Bus output allows simultaneous routing of separate Program and Preview feeds to independent outputs—for example, one feed to an IMAG projector and a second to a recording device. With Vaddio's optional TeleTouch touch screen monitor, operators can create and recall up to 12 video thumbnail presets by touch; each thumbnail is a live snapshot of the camera preset position, eliminating verbal coordination with camera operators during live events.
The console includes a broadcast-style 3-Axis/1-Button Hall-Effect joystick with twist-handle zoom control and separate pan, tilt, and speed control knobs for precise PTZ operation. Transition options include cut, cross-fade, nine wipe patterns, and fade to black with user-selectable speeds. The Lower Screen Graphics (LSG) feature overlays computer-generated titles and graphics directly onto the program video output at adjustable sizes and transparency levels via front-panel buttons—no external character generator required. Six discrete RS-232 control ports auto-sense the connected camera type, covering Vaddio, Sony, Panasonic, and Canon PTZ models.
The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV pairs well with Vaddio PTZ cameras including the RoboSHOT and WideSHOT series available at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many PTZ cameras can the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV control simultaneously?
Up to six PTZ cameras, one per discrete RS-232 control port. The system auto-senses each camera's type and model, so no manual protocol configuration is required per port.
Q: Which PTZ camera brands are compatible with the control ports?
The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV auto-senses and controls Vaddio, Sony, Panasonic, and Canon PTZ cameras. Refer to the product manual for the full camera compatibility list and supported models.
Q: Is the TeleTouch monitor required for operation?
No. The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV operates fully using the front-panel joystick and buttons. The optional Vaddio TeleTouch touch screen monitor adds touch-based switching and live video thumbnail preset recall for operators who prefer a touch-driven workflow.
Q: What is the video latency of this switcher?
The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV introduces only one frame of video delay—a critical specification for live production environments where image magnification (IMAG) is used alongside live presenters.
Q: Does the system support 4K or UHD signals?
No. The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV supports HD-SDI/SDI signals up to 1080p/60 and the supported DVI-I formats. 4K and UHD signals are not supported on this unit.
Q: Can Program and Preview be routed to independent outputs simultaneously?
Yes. The Dual Bus Multiview output allows the operator to send Program to one destination (such as an IMAG projector) and Preview to a second destination simultaneously.
Q: Is the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV TAA compliant?
Yes. This unit is TAA compliant and qualifies for US federal government AV procurement.
Q: What is the warranty on this unit?
Vaddio provides a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
