The controller supports serial RS232/RS422 and IP Cross protocol mix-control. It allows you to use RS232/RS422/IP control on one controller to control cameras (Protocol support:
VISCA, PELCO D/P, VISCA over IP, CGI*) in a single system.
Power
Power up the controller using one of the following options:
1. Power supply (included)
12V DC
Power Adaptor
Connect
to camera
Power using Junction Box Power Over RS232
• Power Voltage Tolerance 5V - 48V
• The keyboard can be powered with at least 5VDC.
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.)
2. Use PoE (Connect Ethernet IP port to PoE switch).
• Maximum distance 80m using CAT6 Plus cable
3. Use included junction box
• Connect junction box to power supply
• Connect Ethernet cable from “Controller”port on
the junction box to the RS422 or RS232 port on the
Keyboard.
• 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.
