System Control—Keyboards
Overview
The KTD-405 Series controller keyboards are compatible with
many GE Security products, including switchers, domes and
DVRs. This series has been designed to control up to 1,024
cameras or receivers and 128 switched monitors. The
keyboards can also control Digiplex
®
systems, and an RS422/
RS485 communication port enables the unit to operate a
number of components: SymDec
™
16 plus 4; SymSafe
™
and
SymSafe Pro; DVMRe; multiplexers; matrix switchers; alarm
interfaces; Legend
™
and CyberDome
™
PTZ cameras. These
units can select and switch video, initiate camera tours and
select monitors.
The keyboards operate in one of two modes: discrete zone or
standard Digiplex. In the discrete zone mode, the system can
be divided into 32 zones with up to 32 cameras in each zone.
Multiplexers serve as the switching devices in this mode. In
standard Digiplex mode, a matrix switcher is the system’s
primary switching device. Other features include a three-axis
joystick (two-axis joystick in the KTD-405-2D) for exceptional
pan/tilt maneuverability in PTZ applications and dedicated
recorder operation keys. When call-ins occur, a built-in
annunciator alerts the user that attention is needed. These
keyboards can stack up to 32 call-in requests in the order they
were received. The first three call-in requests are displayed
and a reminder tone sounds every 15 seconds until all active
call-ins have been cleared from its queue. Authorized
personnel can program the unit and other Digiplex
components through confidential access codes.
