1.0 Description
Keyboards & System Control Software
Microprocessor based, full-function keyboard for complete control and programming of AD1024 matrix switcher/controller systems.
2.0 Performance Specifications
The keyboard shall provide all control parameters and system programming required for the video matrix switcher/controller system. The operator keys shall be full travel, electro-mechanical style, and shall provide true tactile feel.
The keyboard must be provided with a three axis, vector solving joystick, with pushbutton, for single handed control of fixed and variable speed cameras pan/tilts and domes. This joystick must be a “twist” joystick to allow the user to control a motorized lens’ TELE and WIDE functions without using operator keys. The joystick must also have a pushbutton to FLIP appropriately equipped domes 180 degrees to provide continuous surveillance of subjects that pass directly underneath the dome; the user will not have to rotate the joystick 180 degrees or remove the hand from the joystick to press a key.
As a minimum, the keyboard shall provide for the following control functions: video output (monitor) selection, satellite site selection, video input (camera) selection, motorized lens control (zoom, focus, iris), pan/tilt or dome control (pan/tilt, Preset set and call, Pattern set, call, clear, hold and repeat), auxiliary device control (on or off), tour control (hold, run, next and last), salvo control, alarm control, and camera lock/unlock feature. In addition, the keyboard shall provide macro keys that enable the programming of up to 1000 application-specific, user-definable macros.
When used with the AD1024 Matrix Switcher/Controller System, the keyboard shall provide the following recorder control functions for both VCRs and digital recorders: Play, Record, Rewind, Fast Forward, Pause, Stop, Eject.
Both application-specific as well as user-definable macro key labels shall be provided with the keyboard. These labels shall affix directly to the keys on the keyboard.
When used with the AD1024 Matrix Switcher/Controller System, the keyboard shall provide for the synchronization of macro key programming; this enables macro keys to be “transferred” to similar keyboards.
In order to prevent unauthorized access to system programming functions, a key operated switch, along with a removable key, shall be provided.
LEDs must be provided to quickly indicate initial numbers entered and provide system confirmation of site, monitor, and camera selections. When used with the AD1024 Matrix Switcher/Controller System, the keyboard’s LEDs must also provide confirmation of recorder selection.
Bid-Spec (continued)
The keyboard shall be provided with a standard bi-directional RS-232 communication port for interfacing to the matrix switcher/controller system. This port must provide field programmable baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 baud. The RS-232 protocol must be compatible with that used by American Dynamics.
The keyboard shall permit user programming of LED display brightness and both activation/deactivation and volume control of the internal beeper. A self test mode must also be provided to verify hardware and software operation of the LED display, communications port, joystick calibration and memory.
The keyboard shall be compatible with desktop or rack mounted configurations.
The keyboard shall be an American Dynamics AD2088 Series or equivalent.

Keyboard Control
Utility Features:
F1 and F2: Function keys provide access to special system functions (for example., user log on/log off)
Site: Addresses satellite systems
Key Switch: Prevents unauthorized access to programming functions and system programming menus (removable key provided)
Numeric Keypad: Enters numbers associated with video outputs (Monitors), Recorders, video inputs (Cameras), Macros, and Users
Clear: Erases numbers entered on the numeric keypad before pressing an action key, such as Camera, Monitor, Macro, or User number
Quick-Spec (continued)
Monitor Control:
Monitor: Calls a specified monitor to be controlled by the keyboard
Program: Enables programming of system tour dwell times
Camera Control:
Ack: Acknowledges and removes the displayed alarm from system
Camera: Calls a specified camera (video input) to the selected monitor (video output)
Run: Starts a monitor tour, universal (system) tour or alarm tour for the currently selected monitor
Hold: Halts the monitor tour, universal (system) tour or alarm tour for the currently selected monitor
Next: Calls the next programmed camera display for the respective monitor, universal (system) tour, or alarm tour
Last: Calls the previous programmed camera display for the respective monitor, universal (system) tour, or alarm tour, and continues running the tour in reverse order
Salvo: Displays a pre-defined group (salvo) of camera inputs on a group of contiguous monitors, beginning with the currently selected monitor
Recorder Control:
VCR: Calls a specified VCR or digital recorder to be controlled by the keyboard
Play: Plays the VCR or digital recorder
