RS-422
This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface standard. Pelco uses this standard for 
communication from a controller to one or more camera receivers (on the same line); the maximum 
recommended distance is 4,000 feet (1,219 m). 
The four-wire connection provides two wires for transmit and two wires for receive. Pelco receiver/
driver communication uses only the two transmit wires (commands are sent from the controller to 
the receiver only; the receiver does not “talk” back to the controller). Pelco keyboard communication 
uses all four wires.
NOTE:  The electrical communication scheme used by Pelco is a direct-coupled method, not an 
AC-coupled method. Therefore, if the ground potential of the wire at its two end points is different 
(other than zero volts), an additional wire is required as a ground.
RS-485
This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface standard used for communication between 
multiple transmitters and receivers; the maximum recommended distance is 4,000 feet (1,219 m). 
The four-wire connection provides two wires for transmit and two wires for receive.
NOTE:  The electrical communication scheme used by Pelco is a direct-coupled method, not an 
AC-coupled method. Therefore, if the ground potential of the wire at its two end points is different 
(other than zero volts), an additional wire is required as a ground.
Scratchpad sequence
A scratchpad sequence can be run on an individual system monitor, without entering the 
password-protected CM6800E Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus. You can program 
scratchpad sequences from the CM6800E Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus only, not 
from the CM6800-MGR software.
Sequence
Allows an operator to see a routine of 72 camera views on any system monitor, over and over again. 
The sequence can be operated automatically or manually. The order in which the camera views 
appear and the time each view remains can be programmed.
Standard Coaxitron
This is Pelco’s Coaxitron control technology that uses 15 bits to send a command.
Star configuration
This is a way of providing multiple direct connections from one source. A star configuration uses a 
separate cable for each direct connection, with all of the cables connected to a central device. 
When connecting PTZ cameras to a matrix switcher, for example, the central device can be a code 
distribution unit, such as the CM9760-CDU-T. Each camera has a direct connection to the 
CM9760-CDU-T, which is the central device.
Synchronize
Since the CM6800E Matrix Switcher can be programmed from either the CM6800-MGR software or 
the CM6800E Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus, you could potentially have different 
settings in the two programming sources. Pelco recommends transmitting any programming 
changes from the updated programming source so that the next time you make changes from either 
programming source, you will be modifying the current system settings. Refer to Transmit 
Programming Settings
 in the CM6800-MGR Installation/Operation manual.
System keyboard
This is a keyboard compatible with and connected to the matrix switcher, allowing a system 
operator manual control over the system.
System reset
This restores the system to the default settings, as shipped from the factory.
Vertical drive/synchronization
This option sends a timing pulse from the matrix switcher to a compatible camera. The camera 
aligns the vertical synchronization with the timing pulse.
Zone
A zone is a user-defined, physical location to which (1) a label is attached and (2) a camera is 
associated. When the associated camera is panned through or remains within this defined zone, the 
zone label appears on the monitor. With some camera systems, a zone can be blanked to prevent 
viewing while the camera is positioned in the zone.
