Connecting the PTZ Keyboard Controller
This keyboard controller uses any one of three different interfaces to control
your peripheral equipment: RS-422, RS-485, and RJ45.
RS-485 Interface
The RS-485 port connects the keyboard controller to the PTZ camera to allow
direct control of camera’s operation. The keyboard controller can link the same
DVR to several PTZ cameras. To prevent data collision on the RS-485 bus, each
individual device attached to the controller must have a unique ID.
Be certain to be consistent with the polarity of the RS-485 connection wire. If the
“+” and the “-“ are reversed the RS-485 will not work.
5
RS-422 Interface
If needed, the RS-422 may be used to connect the PTZ keyboard controller to a
matrix. Please see your matrix documentation for installation instructions.
RJ45 Interface
RJ45 is also useful for matrix connections. The maximum communication
distance over an RJ45 connection is 25 feet. Please see your matrix
documentation for installation instructions.
6
Connecting the Controller to Several Devices
Using the RS-485 interface, the PTZ controller can connect to an array of PTZ
cameras and DVRs.
For ease of use in a system that contains a single DVR and several PTZ cameras,
set the device ID of the DVR to 0. Set the device IDs of each attached PTZ
camera equal to the channel on the DVR that the camera is connected to. Set
the ID of the PTZ keyboard controller to a number that is larger than the number
of channels supported by the DVR.
Example: For an 8-channel DVR, set the DVR ID to 0, set the PTZ camera IDs
in the range of 1–8, and the PTZ keyboard controller to device ID 9. Using this
system prevents data transmission problems and makes it easy to remember
which device has which ID.
NOTE: The RS-485 interface can handle up to 32 individual devices. Thus a single
keyboard connected directly to the cameras can control up to 31 cameras.
You may insert up to 4 keyboards as long as the total number of devices does
not exceed 32. Remember that each device must have a unique ID.

Powering the Keyboard
When the controller is plugged in (or powered up), the controller initializes.
IMPORTANT: While the keyboard is initializing, leave the joystick in the center.
Do not move the joystick or turn its knob. Doing so will cause your controller to
malfunction.
After the controller has nished initialization, its LCD screen displays the PTZ
camera ID (CamID) and video output display monitor (MonID) that are currently
selected, as well as your system’s protocol and baud rate.

During normal operation, the controller’s the LCD is backlit. After 5 seconds of
inactivity, the LCD illumination shuts off automatically. Touching any control
powers the LCD illumination again.
Using the Joystick
On the PTZ keyboard controller, the joystick has 2 functions:
• To control the orientation of attached PTZ cameras
• To navigate the controller’s menus
Within a menu, when the joystick is moved up, down, left or right the cursor
moves in the same direction.
Selecting a Camera to Control
To select a camera for direct control, type the camera’s unique ID number
using the numeric keypad, then press the Cam button.
Example: To take direct control of camera 11, press 1, 1, and Cam.
PTZ Camera Aim Control
To pan the camera up, down, left, or right, move the joystick in the appropriate
direction.
To zoom the camera, causing it to narrow or widen its eld of vision, rotate the
joytick knob clockwise (to zoom in) or counterclockwise (to zoom out).
When you move the joystick, the lower right corner of the LCD display shows
icons that indicate the command(s) given. Arrows indicate pan directions, while
a circular icon in the center indicates whether you are causing the camera to
zoom in or out.
Example: The display below shows that the camera is moving down, to the left,
and is zooming out.
Note that there is usually a small delay between moving the joystick and the
camera responding. This is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.

PTZ Camera Lens Control
To zoom the selected camera in, press the Tele button on the keyboard.
To zoom the selected camera out, press the Wide button on the keyboard.
To focus the camera on a distant object, press the Far button on the keyboard.
To focus on an object close at hand, press the Near button.
Note: If the camera is set to auto-focus, the camera’s zoom and focus may
change based on the movement of objects within the camera’s eld of view.
Creating a Surveillance Pattern
Your controller can generate up to three surveillance motion patterns for each
camera in your array. These patterns are stored locally in your cameras.
These patterns are numbered 1–3. To create a pattern, follow these steps:
1. Press Set.
2. Press the pattern number (1–3).
3. Press Pat.
4. Use the joystick to move the camera through the desired pattern.
5. Press Set.
6. Press 0.
7. Press Pat.
The pattern is then saved under that number and can be engaged as desired.
Engaging a Surveillance Pattern
To run a pattern that you have previously created, press the pattern number
(from 1–3), then press Pat. The active camera will then begin using that pattern.
Opening the PTZ Camera Menu
To access the PTZ camera’s internal menu, press 9, 5, Pre. This calls the main
menu of the camera, and the menu is displayed in the camera’s video output
display.
The contents of the camera’s main menu vary based on manufacturer and
model. Consult your camera’s documentation for details.
