The KBD4000 Genex

®

 Multiplexer Keyboard is a full-function keyboard controller for the

MX4000 Genex Multiplexer and MX4000SVR Genex Multiplexer Server.

This manual covers the KBD4000 keyboard’s operation with both duplex and simplex
models of the multiplexer. The differences, as they pertain to the keyboard, are indicated as
necessary.

The mode of operation depends on whether the keyboard is connected to a multiplexer or
to a server. (See 

Modes of Operation

 for an explanation.)

In addition to performing all the control functions that can be done from the multiplexer’s
front panel, the keyboard features a three-axis joystick and additional keys to control fixed
and variable speed pan, tilt, and lens functions. The keyboard can also operate presets,
auxiliaries, and patterns and can be used to program the multiplexer or server.

The simplex multiplexer has three operating modes:

The main monitor can show live video both in full-screen or multi-screen
views. You cannot record in live mode. The multiplexer’s DISPLAY/
RECORD LED is off.

The main monitor shows full-screen or multi-screen views of videotape
playback. You cannot record in VCR mode. The multiplexer’s DISPLAY/
RECORD LED is off.

The main monitor shows live video of an individual camera in full-screen
view only. You can record only when in record mode. While recording, all
cameras are being recorded simultaneously. The multiplexer’s DISPLAY/
RECORD LED is on.

The duplex multiplexer has two operating modes:

The main monitor shows live video both in full-screen or multi-screen views.
You can record while viewing any or all cameras. While recording, all
cameras are being recorded simultaneously. The multiplexer’s LIVE/VCR
LED is on.

playback. You can record in VCR mode if you have a second VCR con-
nected to the VCR OUT jack on the multiplexer. The multiplexer’s LIVE/VCR
