PELCO KBD4000 Multiplexer Keyboard Controller

Circa 2005

The KBD4000 is a full-function keyboard controller for Pelco MX4000 Genex Multiplexers and MX4000SVR Genex Multiplexer Servers. Its key functions include:

• Camera Control: It allows control over major camera functions such as pan/tilt, zoom, iris, and auxiliary devices (e.g., wipers).

• Joystick Control: A built-in 3-axis joystick provides smooth control for pan, tilt, and zoom features, including fixed and variable speed options.

• Preset and Pattern Control: It can set and call presets for specific camera positions and program or run camera movement patterns.

• Monitor Control: The keyboard can control main and spot monitors, enabling the display of single or multiple camera views (4, 9, or 16 images) and digital zoom features on the main monitor.

• Multiplexer and Server Interaction: It operates in both "Multiplexer Mode" (controlling up to 256 cameras connected to daisy-chained multiplexers) and "Multiplexer Server Mode" (controlling cameras through a server, allowing multiple keyboards).

Use Cases:

Primarily used in large-scale CCTV and security installationswhere centralized control of multiple cameras and surveillance systems is required. Specific use cases includes:

• Centralized Surveillance Monitoring: Operators can use a single KBD4000 to manage a network of surveillance cameras, viewing live feeds, adjusting camera positions, and recalling presets.

• Event Management and Response: In response to security incidents, operators can quickly manipulate camera views, activate auxiliary functions like alarms or lighting, and monitor specific areas of interest.

• Programming and Configuration: It can be used to program and configure the associated multiplexers and servers, including setting up camera addresses, presets, and patterns.

• Remote Control: With appropriate wiring kits, the KBD4000 can be set up for remote operation, allowing off-site control of the surveillance system.
