In addition to performing all the control functions that can be done from the front panel of
the multiplexer, the keyboard features additional keys for full control of fixed speed and
variable speed pan, tilt, and lens functions. Variable speed control is accomplished with the
number keypad using the “select-a-speed” feature. With select-a-speed, each digit (1-9)
represents a relative pan and tilt speed. The number 1 represents the slowest speed
available while the number 9 speed equates to turbo pan (for those receivers capable of
supporting turbo pan speed). When the number 9 is entered, the tilt will operate at the
number 8 speed. Entering the number 0 sets a mid-range speed. The keyboard can also
operate presets, auxiliaries, and patterns and can be used to program the multiplexer or
server.
