Frequently Asked Questions - PCC MatrixMIX Vaddio

How do I connect the PCC MatrixMIX to a switcher?
On the Directory screen, tap the Connect button for the desired switcher if it shows Disconnected. Ensure the switcher is added to the controller's directory via the web interface. For remote operation, view the multiviewer output as an IP stream using a stream viewer like VLC Media Player.
How do I store and recall camera presets?
Navigate to the Presets screen on the touch-panel. To store a new preset, set up the shot, then select Store, choose a preset slot, and select Store again. The preset is saved to the camera. To recall, go to the Recall tab and select the desired preset.
How do I adjust lighting and color settings?
Use the Scenes screen to select predefined lighting settings. For fine adjustments, go to the CCU screen and modify Iris, Gain, Chroma, Gamma, Detail, and White Balance using the menu knob or touch controls. Save custom adjustments as a scene using 'Store as Scene'.
What is Safety Mute and how do I use it?
Safety Mute instantly mutes all video and audio outputs. It appears at the top of every touch-panel screen. Select it to mute, deselect to unmute. When unmuted, outputs return to their previous states.
How do I switch between A/B and Dual-Bus modes?
Go to Settings > Device tab. Select the desired switching mode: A/B (single program output) or Dual-Bus (two simultaneous program outputs). After changing modes, the controller may need to be rebooted.
Can I control non-Vaddio cameras?
Yes, the PCC MatrixMIX is compatible with select Sony and Panasonic models, including Sony BRC Z330, Z700, H700, H900, EVI-H100S, SRG 120, SRG 300, and Panasonic AW-HE 40, AW-HE 130.

Vaddio PCC MatrixMIX - A Quick Look at the Camera Controller - 1

natural_image Front view of a black Vaddig audio recording device with control knobs and a digital display (no visible text or symbols)

Touch-Panel Display

Access to:

■ Directory, for switcher selection
■ Camera presets, scenes, and CCU settings
■ Graphics keying and PIP
■ Audio
■ Macro recall
■ Streaming sources
■ Network information for the controller
■ One-touch standby (controller and selected cameras)

Focus Knob

Switch between modes - auto-focus (illuminated blue) or manual (illuminated red). Adjusts the focus when in manual mode.

Navigate and select items from touch-panel screens and menus, adjust and save settings.

Pan, Tilt, and Zoom Speed Controls

The three speed control knobs above the joystick adjust the selected camera's speeds for pan, tilt, and zoom. When you adjust any of these knobs, the touch-panel displays a slider to show the speed range.

Camera Select Buttons

The buttons on the Program and Preview rows are associated with the same video sources. During normal operation, the buttons are illuminated if they are mapped to cameras or other video sources. Color indications:

■ Red – Current program output
■ Green – Current preview output
■ Blue – Available video source
- Blinking blue – No video source is currently available at the mapped IP address, or further configuration is required.

Button behavior depends on the selected switching mode.

A/B switching mode: One program output. The tally (red) indication is always on the Program row of buttons, and the preview indication is always on the Preview row.

Dual-bus switching mode: Two simultaneous program outputs. The buttons on the Program row show the tally for one output; the buttons on the Preview row show tally for the other output. Press another button to select a preview source. The button turns green to indicate that it will be the next source on that bus after a video transition (T-bar on the controller, or Take button on the multiviewer).

T-Bar

Manual control for video source transitions.

Joystick

Intuitive control for moving the selected camera to the desired position – left/right to pan, forward/back to tilt. Twist the joystick clockwise or counterclockwise to zoom the camera. Press the center button to return the camera to its home position.

The camera controller's web interface allows you to set normal or inverted directional operation, according to the operator's preference. See Configuring Joystick Behavior.

Operating the Controller

The PCC MatrixMIX live production controller is the preferred operator interface for the AV Bridge MatrixMIX multipurpose AV switcher. We recommend using it with the TeleTouch 27 USB multiviewer if it is sited with the switcher.

This chapter covers operation of the controller console. Some of these tasks can also be done in other ways – from the TeleTouch 27 USB multiviewer, or from the switcher's web interface.

To select a touch-panel control, do one of these things:

■ Tap the control on the touch-panel
■ Dial to the control using the Menu knob, then press the knob to select the control.

You can change some adjustments, such as audio volume sliders, directly on the touch-panel. To adjust controls that use arcs, such as the touch-panel brightness adjustment, you must use the Menu knob to make the adjustment, and then press the knob to save the change.

Before You Start

You will need additional information and software to control the cameras, other video sources, and audio equipment on your network.

■ The PCC MatrixMIX can control up to 10 switchers, which must be added to the controller's directory via the web interface; the admin login is required.
- You will need to view the switcher's multiview output. If you are not using a TeleTouch 27 USB multiviewer (for example, if operating the switcher remotely), you will need to view the multiviewer output as an IP stream.
■ To view the IP stream, the switcher must be configured to enable IP streaming.
■ To view the IP stream, you will need a stream viewer application such as VLC Media Player.
- You will need to know the streaming URL for each switcher's IP stream. This information is available on the Streaming page of each switcher's web interface; the admin login is required.
- When viewing the multiviewer stream, keep in mind that the stream will lag perceptibly – there is network-dependent latency in addition to 400 ms of inherent latency.

Safety Mute

ALL SCREENS

In situations where it is desirable to mute all outputs together, select Safety Mute. This control is present at the top of every screen.

When you unmute Safety Mute, all inputs and outputs return to their previous states. For example, if the Program audio outputs were muted before Safety Mute was selected, they will remain muted after Safety Mute is deselected.

Selecting a Switcher from the Directory

The controller must connect to a switcher to control the equipment connected to it. The top part of the touch-panel displays the name of the selected switcher (if any). You will also need a way to view the switcher's multiviewer output. The TeleTouch 27 USB multiviewer is recommended; however, for remote operation you can view the multiviewer output as a stream.

Note

A switcher may be in more than one controller's directory, and may be controlled in other ways more than one operator has control of a switcher, unexpected behavior may result.

With a TeleTouch 27 USB multiviewer:

On the Directory screen, tap the Connect button associated with the switcher if its status is Disconnected.

Working with Lighting and Color Settings

The camera controller gives you access to the selected camera's defined lighting and color settings (scenes) and its lighting and color (CCU) adjustments. You don't need to access each camera's web interface separately to adjust for consistent video.

Selecting Lighting and Color Settings

SCENES SCREEN (TOUCH-PANEL)

If the lighting or color balance doesn't look right in the video from the selected camera, go to the Scenes screen and choose the appropriate lighting setting. These are good starting points if you are not experienced with lighting and camera painting/shading.
