PresenterPOD Overview:
The PresenterPOD is a perfect complement to the
Vaddio AutoPresenter™ or ControlVIEW™ XHD video
switcher and automated camera control systems and
the Hot-Shot Preset Camera Controller. The system
allows the presenter to walk up to a work area such as a
lectern, teaching station or whiteboard and quickly have
access to the AutoPresenter inputs, Pan/Tilt/Zoom
camera presets and even the PIP on/off.
Two (2) large round buttons located on the
PresenterPOD offer the presenter flexible control over
the automated content on other presets and other
necessary content sources. A third small square button
is available for PIP on/off if the PIP is stored within any
of the presets activated by the PresenterPOD. Even the
Logo button can be used as a trigger.
The system uses the Vaddio EZCamera™ cabling standard, which connects the PresenterPOD via a single Cat-
5e cable to the PresenterPOD Interface for the provision of power and transmission of data between the devices.
The PresenterPOD Interface can support up to two (2) PresenterPODs. The PresenterPOD Interface can be
assigned to output latching, momentary triggers or any combination depending on the design requirements.
The PresenterPOD combined with the Vaddio Automated Content Presentation Systems provides a truly
innovative approach to automating people and content presentation systems with easy to understand presenter
control options.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the
one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.

PresenterPOD System
PresenterPOD System ● Document Number 342-0212 Rev. B Page 6 of 12
PresenterPOD I/O
The PresenterPOD has two (2) RJ-45 connection
points for flexibility in mounting and cabling. Use
only one of these connectors at a time. The Cat-5e
cable between the PresenterPOD and the
PresenterPOD Interface carries power to the POD
and exchanges data with the interface.
The bottom has an RJ-45 jack used when the
PresenterPOD can be located on a wall, next to a
whiteboard, and the Cat-5e cable can be run in the
wall. The bottom RJ-45 jack can be used when the
POD is positioned over a grommet or cable pass
through. The bottom also has four (4) rubber feet
for protection of table tops and two (2) threaded
inserts for use with the metal wall mounting tabs
included with the PresenterPOD
The rear or the PresenterPOD has an RJ-45 jack
that is used when the PresenterPOD is mounted
on a table and the cable is surface mounted
(free).
PresenterPOD Labels:
Each PresenterPOD comes with 30 racetrack shaped labels. The labels are approximately .72” x .22” and are
designed to fit in the .75” x .23” indentations in the plastic below the two large round buttons. The labels are
adhesive backed and can adhere to the surface of the PresenterPOD directly for the other buttons. Out of the 30
labels, there are three blank labels for user labeling.
Installation
The PresenterPOD and the PresenterPOD Interface are very easy to install. The base system, consisting of one
(1) POD and one (1) Interface are connected with a single Cat-5e cable up to 100’ (30.48m) in length. Connect
PresenterPOD 1 into POD 1 RJ-45 jack.

Basic System Connectiv ity Example 1:
Once the PresenterPOD is connected to the PresenterPOD Interface, the triggers can be connected to the device
to be activated (AutoPresenter, ControlVIEW XHD, Hot-Shot Preset Camera Controller, ProductionVIEW HD or
other control systems). In this example, the Vaddio AutoPresenter is shown below.
In this example, the functions of the PresenterPOD and Interface and the AutoPresenter presets are called out
below. The presenter has a PresenterPOD at the Lectern position and has control over the lectern shot, the PC,
the document camera and PIP on/off of the AutoPresenter.
Cat-5e Cable up to 100’ (30.48m)
PresenterPOD 1 PresenterPOD Interface
AutoPresenter Rear Panel
Large Left Round Button:
This button is used to recall the
preset in the AutoPresenter
that the PC input is assigned.
This is a latching input (dip
switch down) and will remain lit
when touched.
Small Square Button:
This button is used to turn on/off
the PIP assigned in the
AutoPresenter. The PIP will be
assigned as Video Input #3
(lectern position Camera) and is
a momentary trigger (dip switch
up) from Trigger #2.
PC
Ceiling DocCAM
Lectern Position Camera Student Camera
Large Right Round Button:
This button is used to recall the
preset in the AutoPresenter
that the Document Camera
input is assigned. This is
Trigger #3, a latching trigger
input (dip switch down) and will
remain lit when touched.
Racetrack Logo Button:
This button is back-lit blue and
when triggered, it will turn red.
It will be used as a latching
trigger (dip switch down) and
make the lectern shot the main
shot.
In this example the student
camera can be controlled with
other triggers (MicVIEW and
push to talk mics) or can be set
up as a default shot when no
other triggers are present.

PresenterPOD System ● Document Number 342-0212 Rev. B Page 8 of 12
Installation (continued):
Sometimes, one PresenterPOD is just not enough. This is exactly the reason that one (1) PresenterPOD
Interface can support two (2) PresenterPODs. The 2-POD System (2nd Pod sold separately) is as easy to
connect as the 1st PresenterPOD. Connect PresenterPOD 2 in the POD 2 RJ-45 jack and connect the triggers to
the trigger device as noted in the previous example. When using two (2) PresenterPODs, dip switch # 9 ties the
logic of the PresenterPODs together in default mode (dip switch down) and they work as one system of eight (8)
triggers. By putting switch # 9 up, the pods act independently. When using one input triggering device like
AutoPresenter, ControlVIEW XHD Hot-Shot Preset Camera controller for codec, etc) the combined logic is
between the PODs is recommended (dip switch #9 down).
Basic System Connectiv ity Example 2:
This system configuration uses two (2) PresenterPODs and one PresenterPOD Interface to trigger the Vaddio AutoPresenter at two different
locations (Video Whiteboard and at the Instructor’s Lectern) in a presentation or videoconferencing room.
