The Vi-K2/Vi-K3 is designed to provide integrated control of Videoswitch Digital Recorders and third party
domes and/or pan and tilt heads.
The Vi-K2/Vi-K3 controls all Videoswitch Vi-series digital recorders. For controlling VDM and VDC series
products, the VK-2 should be used.

1.1 Connecting Up
1.1.1 Control of Digital Recorder (or other Videoswitch unit)
The connector marked “Out” is connected to the keyboard input of a Videoswitch Digital recorder, using a
CAT5 cable.
1.1.2 Connect to a monitor
Connect a monitor to the BNC connector marked “MONITOR” on the Vi-K2/Vi-K3. Note that the Digital
Recorder must be equipped with the necessary interface. Early Videoswitch Digital Recorders may lack this
interface, in which case a Videoswitch T25A adaptor PCB and balun are required.
1.1.3 Multiple Vi-K2/Vi-K3 Key boards
If a second Vi-K2/Vi-K3 keyboard is to be used, connect the “Out” output RJ45 connector of the second
(slave) keyboard to the “In” input RJ45 connector of the first (master) keyboard. Further keyboards may be
daisy-chained in the same way. All domes and Digital Recorders are connected to the master keyboard.

1.1.4 Dome Control from Vi-K2/Vi-K3
Up to 16 domes may be directly connected to the Vi-K2/Vi-K3. The appropriate protocol(s) must be set in the
Vi-K2/Vi-K3. Dome control may be via RS485, RS232 or 20mA loop.
• The Vi-K2/Vi-K3 has two dome outputs “DOMES1” and “DOMES-2”.
• A particular Vi-K2/Vi-K3 can be connected to a maximum of two different types of dome; all of one
type must be connected to the “DOMES-1” output, and all of the other type of dome must be
connected to the “DOMES-2” output.
• Each camera (up to 256) must be assigned to use one or other of these outputs (the factory default
assigns all cameras assigned to “DOMES-1” output).
• Each of the two dome outputs is assigned a dome protocol.
• The domes may be either daisy-chained. In this case, turn the termination off on all domes except
the last in the daisy chain, which should have its termination set on.
• The dome may be connected in “star” mode by means of a RS485 “star expander” (our product
code “VX Hub”). In this case, all domes should have their termination on.
• Each dome must be set up with an address that corresponds with the camera input to which it is
connected (i.e. addresses 1, 2, 3 etc for domes on camera inputs 1, 2, 3 etc)
1.1.5 Dome Control from DVR
If the DVR, or multiple DVRs, have dome control built in, the domes may be connected to the DVR(s) and
the Vi-K2/Vi-K3 used as slave to control everything. The Vi-K2/Vi-K3 protocol must be set to SLAVE (i.e.
number 1). Up to 16 Vi-series DVRs may be linked to provide control of up to 256 dome cameras. Dome
control may be via RS485, RS232, 20mA loop or “up-the-coax” as supported by the DVR(s).

1.2 Connection Example
The diagram below illustrates how the Vi-K2/Vi-K3 is typically interconnected with other equipment.
Note:
• All dome control by the Vi-K2/Vi-K3 is via RS485 twisted pair.
• Supported domes, which have RS485 twisted pair control, may be connected directly as shown.
• Domes, which only have coax control, require a protocol converter, also shown.
• The “DOMES-1” and “DOMES-2” outputs from the Vi-K2/Vi-K3 may be used to control different
makes of domes. They may also be used to control the same make of dome.
• If master/slave operation is required, all domes must be connected to the master Vi-K2/Vi-K3.
• Multiple Vi-series Digital Recorders may be daisy chained. Each must be allocated a different unit
address (1, 2, 3 etc). Clock synchronisation keep dates and times of all units in step with the master
(Unit 1).

1.4 Star Expander
Videoswitch manufacture a Star Expander (Part number Vi-X9) which allow 8 domes to be driven in star
configuration from one dome output port. Use two star expanders if up to 16 domes are to be driven in this
manner, one connected to each dome output.

2 Vi-K2 Configuration
2.1 Quick Configuration
This section describes how to set-up the Vi-K2 for use with any one type of dome. For more complex
configurations, see section
• Holding the ALT key on, press the CONFIG key.
• The LED display will show “PSd”, indicating that a password must be entered.
• Press the number keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (to enter default password).
• Press the OK key (the characters “C1.1” should be flashing on the display).
• Press the DOME key (the display shows “1.01” indicating “DOMES-1” output has been assigned
protocol number 1)
• Enter the protocol you require by pressing two number keys (refer to section Error! Reference
source not found.). E.g. 1 followed by 2 would select Borsatec (protocol 12).
2.2.
• Holding the ALT key on, press the CONFIG key. The word “Sto” indicates that the configuration is
being stored.
The Vi-K2/Vi-K3 is now ready to control all domes connected to the “DOMES-1” output and a Digital
Recorder connected to the “Out” output.
Note
• If the Vi-K2/Vi-K3 is being used as a slave keyboard, no further configuration is required after factory
reset.
• Each dome must be set-up with a camera address (usually DIP switches on the dome).
• The Digital Recorder must have its default unit address (i.e. “001”).
2.2 Full Configuration
2.2.1 Restore Factory Configuration
If you wish to return all settings to the factory defaults, follow this procedure:
• Power on the Vi-K2 while pressing the ALT key. Keep pressing the ALT key (for about 10 seconds)
until the word “Fac” is displayed on the LED display.
• The Vi-K2 now has all factory settings restored.
2.2.2 Entering Configuration Mode
The Vi-K2/Vi-K3 has a Configuration Mode that is allows you to specify the dome protocols and change
the user password. To enter this mode, follow these steps:
• Holding the ALT key on, press the CONFIG key.
• The LED display will show “PSd”, indicating that a password must be entered.
Vi-K2 Universal Keyboard User Manual

Vi-K2/Vi-K3 Universal
Keyboard
• Enter the password using the number keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and ZERO (the factory default
password is 123456). Note that only the last 3 digits are displayed.
• Press the OK key.
• If the password is rejected, the word “Rej” will be displayed;
• If the password is accepted, the display will flashing ”C1.1”. The Vi-K2/Vi-K3 is now in
Configuration Mode. While is configuration mode, the display will always be flashing.
2.2.3 Selecting Dome Protocol for the “DOMES-1” output
• Make sure that you are in Configuration Mode as detailed in section
• Press the DOME key.
• Press the BACK key to select “DOMES-1” output.
• Enter the protocol you require by pressing two number keys (refer to section Error! Reference
source not found.). E.g. 1 followed by 2 would select Borsatec (protocol 12).
2.2.4 Selecting Dome Protocol for the “DOMES-2” output
• Make sure that you are in Configuration Mode as detailed in section
• Press the DOME key.
• Press the OK key to select “DOMES-2” output.
• Enter the protocol you require by pressing two number keys (refer to section Error! Reference
source not found.). E.g. 1 followed by 2 would select Borsatec (protocol 12).
2.2.5 Assigning cameras to the “DOMES-1” or “DOMES-2” outputs.
Following a factory reset, all cameras are allocated to the “DOMES-1” output. If only one type of dome is
being used, this section can be skipped.
If two types of dome are to be controlled, all domes of one type should be connected to the “DOMES-1”
output and all domes of the other type should be connected to the “DOMES-2” output. Program the ViK2/Vi-K3 to tell it which domes are connected to which outputs as follows:
• Make sure that you are in Configuration Mode as detailed in section
2.2.2.
2.2.2.
2.2.2.
• Press the UNIT key and select the unit address (usually 1 if only one Vi-series being controlled)
• Press the CAMERA key, and select a camera that is to be assigned. The LED display indicates the
camera number 1 to 16 and the currently assign dome output 1 or 2. For example, the display

5 Current Protocol Support
A Vi-K2/Vi-K3 is capable of controlling a mixture of two different types of dome. All domes of one type must
be connected to the “DOMES-1” output, and all domes of the other type must be connected to the
“DOMES-2” output. These outputs must each be allocated one of the following protocol numbers (See
sections
Note that some domes support protocols from other manufacturers, or may be controlled via a protocol
converter. It is important to select the correct protocol from the list below, not necessarily the manufacturer
of the dome.
