User Manual
Product overview
The KTD-400 Controller Keypad is designed for use in a Digiplex system. The KTD-400 can address and
control 512 pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) receiver sites, operate a matrix switcher with 64 monitor outputs, and address/
select views from as many as 64 multiplexers and VCRs. Several modes of multiplexers are supported.
Note: For CyberDome control with the KTD-400, pan/tilt operation is limited to three speeds. To operate and control
multiplexers and VCRs, you must have a KTD-93 auxiliary device driver attached to each device in a Digiplex system.
Controller keypad placement
A Digiplex system’s RS-422 control signal originates from the controller keypad located at the head of the
system and travels down line via twisted-pair cable. When more than one controller keypad is used, the signal
must loop through each keypad (Figure 1) or be merged using KTD-312 signal mergers (Figure 2) before
being routed to the rest of the components in the system.

User Manual
Mounting the KTD-300R
The KTD-300R is designed to fit into a standard EIA 19-inch rack and uses one unit (1.75 in.) of rack space.
Mount the unit using the four holes in its front panel and hardware provided from the rack manufacturer.
Wiring connections
The KTD-400 comes with a 6 ft. (1.8 m) cable that attaches to a modular phone box (Figure 4). All external
connections are made in the phone box. KTD-300R connections are made to the removable terminal strip
located on the back of the unit (Figure 5 on page 4). Wiring the KTD-400 and 300R to control a standard
Digiplex system involves connecting the RS-422 input cable (if used), the RS-422 output cable, and the
12 VDC wall transformer.
Note: Figure 4, Figure5, and Figure6 on page 5 show connection points for an RS-422 input cable and an RS-422 output
cable. Do not confuse the two. The input is used only if other keypads, alarm chassis, or time/date generators are
located ahead of the unit that is being wired.

(OO FOR NONE) SEQ=NEXT
advance to the next menu.
11. The default program for the keypad indicates
that the selected monitor number will
correspond to the number of the matrix
switcher output to which it is connected. For
Figure 18. Monitor offset display
MONITOR OFFSET
NUMBER? SEQ=NEXT
example, if monitor 12 appears in the
keypad’s display window and a camera
selection is made, the monitor that is
connected to output 12 of the matrix switcher
will switch to that camera.
In some applications, you may prefer to number the monitors 1, 2, 3, etc., instead of using the matrix switcher
output number. To allow for the difference in numbers, subtract the desired monitor number from the matrix
switch output number and enter the result as the monitor offset in the menu shown in Figure 18.
For example, if a keypad has a monitor that is connected to matrix switcher output 8, to enable the monitor to
be addressed as monitor 1, subtract 1 from 8 and enter 7 as the monitor offset.
8 (matrix switcher number) - 1 (monitor number) = 7 (offset)
In this example, if more than one monitor were to be controlled from the keypad, additional monitors would be
connected to matrix switcher outputs 9, 10, 11, etc. and would be controlled as monitors 2, 3, 4, etc.
Note: The keypad will deny any monitor offset number that conflicts with the largest monitor (Figure 11 on page 7) and
monitor access (Figure 13 on page 8) programming choices that you made earlier in this section.
After you make an entry in the monitor offset display, the keypad will return to the normal operating display.
