TX1500/KBD - System Keyboard

This Keyboard provides control of the system and any cameras connected to the matrix. The Keyboard

communicates through an RJ45 connector using BBV TX1500 protocol at 9600 baud on an RS422 link.

The Keyboard requires 12Vdc supply, minimum current of 100mA. A single Keyboard can be supplied through a

patch cable from the matrix. Multiple or remote Keyboards will need separate power supplies, which are supplied

as standard with each Keyboard. Additional power supplies can be obtained from BBV.

Each Keyboard must have a unique address between 1 and 4. Keyboards sharing the same

address will not be recognised by the matrix and unpredictable operation will occur.
