1.At Camera Location:
•For commands to flow from outside the network into a camera, ports must be opened
•Contact the network administrator at the camera location to create a port-forwarding rule in the router allowing commands to flow through the necessary ports using these values:
o Source/ external port: 9090 (80 by default, try not to use it, too common, may create conflict, use anyone that is not 80)
o Destination / internal port: 80 (default)
o IP Address: IP Address of the camera
o Protocol: Both (TCP and UDP)
2. At Keyboard location:
• Set the keyboard to DHCP
• Contact the network administrator at the Keyboard location to create a port-forwarding rule in the router allowing commands to flow through the necessary ports using these values:

How to do Configuration File Export & Import

When you have more than one new keyboards need to be added to the same system. This Configuration File Export & Import feature will help with duplicating the keyboard settings to new keyboards. It allows you to migrate the camera and keyboard setting data that have been configured from one keyboard to another.

[desc_login] => [inst] =>

Follow the steps to export:
1. Login the Keyboard web interface via IE browser, use the IP address which you can get from the Keyboard Setting>IP Configuration. The user name is admin, password: No password, Keep the field empty.
2. After login, you will get the export & import list, the camera setting data and keyboard setting data need to be exported & imported separately.
3. Access to Export Camera Setting Data page, click Export button, it will start exporting. PLease make sure the keyboard LED OSD is under home screen(not accessing to any setting menu)
4. During the processing of exporting, the keyboard LED screen will display the percentage of the exporting progress, please do not do any operation during the whole exporting progress.

5. After export the data, please save the CameraBackup(or KeyboardBackup) file in your local laptop/PC
6. Keyboard Setting Data exporting operation is same as above.

How to make Tally Light I/O GPI

In order to use the keyboard controller to control the Tally light function among multiple cameras, you need to have the following conditions ready:
1. The cameras are Tally light function supported ready.
2. Video Switch which supports Tally light control function.
3. All cameras been connected in RS422 Daisy Chain mode.
4. Keyboard controller and Video Switch been connected via the Tally Contact port.

Follow the steps to setup:
A. GPI I/O Input mode – Tally signal is sent by Video Switch
1. Make sure cameras and keyboard controller is connected by standard RS422 control cable, keyboard and video switch connected by Tally function cable.
2. Access to KEYBOARD SETTING>GPI I/O>SETTING menu, change it to Input mode, then Exit to home directory.
3. After done the above operations, we can switch to different camera by video switch. for example, if we switch to camera 1 on video switch, it will send Tally signal to keyboard via the Tally function cable, and keyboard will transmit this Tally signal to camera 1 via RS422 control cable, so camera 1 Tally light will be turned on, and keyboard can control camera 1 PTZ.
4. If switch to camera 2 on video switch, camera 2 Tally light will be turned on and camera 1 Tally light will be turned off.

How to make Tally control cable, here we use Sony Mulit Camera Live Producer MCX-500 for example:

B. GPI I/O Output mode -Tally signal is sent by Keyboard Controller
1. Make sure cameras and keyboard controller is connected by standard RS422 control cable.
2. Access to KETBOARD SETTING>GPI I/O>SETTING menu, change it to Output mode, then Exit to home directory.
3. After done the above operations, we can switch to different camera by keyboard. For example, if we switch to camera 1 on keyboard, it will send Tally signal to camera 1 via standard RS422 control cable, so camera 1 Tally light will be turned on, and keyboard can control camera 1 PTZ.
4. If we switch to camera 2 on keyboard, camera 1 Tally light will be turned on and camera 1 Tally light will be turned off.

Most universal PTZ keyboard controller:
Cross Protocol Mix-control with RS232/RS422 and IP in one single system.

RS232 Protocol support: Visca,
RS422/485 Protocol support: Visca, Pelco P/D
IP Protocol support: Visca-Over-IP, Onvif IP

Protocol will be automatically selected by switching the camera ID after setting up protocols to the camera.

Within a single system:

When controlling only RS232 cameras, the keyboard can control total of 7 RS232 cameras.
When controlling RS422 and RS232 cameras simultaneously, the keyboard can control a total of 7 RS232 and RS422 cameras
When controlling only RS422 cameras, the keyboard can control up to 14 RS422 cameras (2 daisy chains of 7)
When controlling only RS485 cameras, the keyboard can control up to 255 RS485 cameras.
The keyboard is capable of controlling up to 255 cameras in one single system, among mixed protocols (RS422, RS232, and IP)
In one single system, within a same network, 128 keyboards can be used with IP protocol.

There are three ways of using power for the PTZ keyboard controller:
If any one of the three ways is used for powering up the keyboard, no need to use additional power adapter.
It would not be harmful when use more than one way of powering to the keyboard at the same time, such as use POE while junction box powering or power adapter powering is being used.

Use Power supply (included) directly connect to the keyboard:
- Power Voltage Tolerance 6V – 48V
- The keyboard can be powered with minimum at 6VDC. This allows for longer power runs between the power source and the keyboard
- The keyboard can also tolerate 48VDC power, which makes the keyboard suitable for vehicle use (Broadcast vans, commercial vehicles, etc.)
Use POE-(Not available on KBD-1010-R)
- Connect Ethernet IP port to POE switch using CAT5/6 network cable
- POE standard: IEEE802.33at
- Maximum distance 80M using CAT6 Plus cable
Use included junction box, when using serial control connection(RS422/RS232)
- Connect power supply to the junction box.
- Connect Ethernet cable from “Controller” port on the junction box to the RS422 or RS232 port on the KBD-1010.
- When using Junction Box to provide power to the keyboard via RS422 or RS232 port on the keyboard. Does not need extra power supply for keyboard.
- This method of power connection for you to keep the keyboard connection clean(Only one network cable) and simple when the keyboard is used for table top.
- Power supply is required at EITHER the keyboard OR the Junction Box. If the junction box is powered, no additional power supply is needed for the keyboard, as the junction box will provide power to the keyboard via the control port.
