Operation modes
The VA-KBDPRO+ has 3 operating modes which
are used depending on the system configuration
1. CAM mode
In CAM mode, the VA-KBDPRO+ functions as a
standard PTZ telemetry controller.
The operator can select individual telemetry
devices to control and can also access all features
of those telemetry devices, such as presets,
patterns, groups and menu setup.
If a Concept Pro matrix is connected, as each
camera ID is selected, the matrix will
automatically switch to the corresponding input.
Depending on the matrix configuration, multiple
monitor outputs can also be controlled.
2. DVR mode
In DVR mode, the VA-KBDPRO+ is used to
control all the key functions of one or more
Concept Pro VXM4 digital recorders.
The operator can select individual VXM4s and
select channels, choose display modes, playback
footage or setup the DVR
If a Concept Pro matrix is connected, as each
DVR ID is selected, the matrix will automatically
switch to the corresponding input.
Depending on the matrix configuration, multiple
monitor outputs can also be controlled.
3. DVR / AI mode
In DVR / AI mode, the VA-KBDPRO+ can control
telemetry devices and VXM4 channel selection.
The operator chooses a DVR ID and a particular
channel input to view full screen, and the VA-
KBDPRO+ automatically selects the associated
speed dome ID. This can then be controlled
directly from the keyboard rather than the DVR
front panel.
If a Concept Pro matrix is connected, as each
DVR ID is selected, the matrix will automatically
switch to the corresponding input.
Depending on the matrix configuration, multiple
monitor outputs can also be controlled.
Full DVR / AI mode operation must be
programmed through the keyboard setup menu
and is described on page 3

• Using the 5 way multi plug, connect ‘-’ to the
negative side of the telemetry line and ‘+’ to the
positive side
• If VXM4 control is required, RS485 telemetry
must be connected to the VXM4 via its RS232
port using a VXM4-RS232CONV serial converter
• The RS232 connections on the VA-KBDPRO+
junction box are reserved and should not be used
