The KBD4000 series keyboard is a full-function
keyboard controller for the MX4000 Genex ™
 Multiplexer
and the MX4000SVR Genex Multiplexer Server. There are two modes
of operation – multiplexer mode and multiplexer server mode –
depending on whether the keyboard is connected to a multiplexer
or to a server. In the multiplexer mode, a single keyboard interfaces
up to 16 multiplexers that are daisy-chained together. With 9-channel
multiplexers, the keyboard can control up to 144 cameras; with
16-channel multiplexers, up to 256 cameras can be controlled.
In the multiplexer server mode, up to four keyboards can be connected
to a server, which interfaces up to eight multiplexers. Up to
72 cameras can be controlled with 9-channel multiplexers or 128
cameras with 16-channel multiplexers.
In addition to performing all the control functions
that can be done from the front panel of the multiplexer, the
keyboard also features a three-axis joystick and additional keys
for full control of fixed-speed and variable-speed pan, tilt,
and lens functions. Under control of the keyboard, cameras can
be viewed on the main and spot monitor outputs of the multiplexer.
On the main monitor, select full screen or multiple screen (4,
9 or 16) images or picture-in-picture display. Get a closer look
with the 2X and 4X zoom feature. Use the spot monitor for control
of pan/tilt and zoom functions, and to operate presets, auxiliaries,
and patterns. When used with a Genex multiplexer, the KBD4000
Series Keyboard is capable of Coaxitron ® control of pan, tilt,
and lens functions, including setting and calling presets and
patterns. The keyboard provides two methods of camera addressing.
One method allows selection of cameras by entering
the multiplexer unit ID (1-16) followed by the desired camera
(1-16). The second method allows selection of cameras by entering
an incremental camera number (unit 1 = cameras 1-16, unit 2 =
cameras 17-32, etc.). The keyboard is supplied with a 25-foot
(7.6 m) data cable with RJ-45 connectors for connecting the key-board
to a multiplexer or to the Local Keyboard Port of a server. One
keyboard can be connected to a multiplexer or the Local Keyboard
Port of a server. Three additional keyboards can be connected
to the Remote Keyboard(s) Port of a server. Multiple key-boards
may not be connected without a server (MX4000SVR). If using the
Remote Keyboard(s) Port, a remote keyboard wiring kit (KBDKIT/KBDKIT-X)
is required for each keyboard.
