DESCRIPTION
The KBD300A Universal Keyboard has many operational features (refer to Table A) and can be used in nu-
merous operational modes:
CM6700 Mode: Program and operate the CM6700 Matrix Switcher/Controller Unit (SCU). Also control a
Genex
®
multiplexer from a CM6700. Multiple keyboards can be used in this mode.
CM6800 Mode: Program and operate the CM6800 Matrix Switcher/Controller Unit (SCU). Also control a
Genex multiplexer from a CM6800 SCU. Multiple keyboards can be used in this mode.
Direct P Mode: Control up to 16 receivers connected directly to the keyboard. A separate system, such
as an MS500 or VA6100 Switcher, is needed to route video to the monitor.
NOTE: The KBD300A keyboard can also be used in Direct Mode to program a CM9760-MDA
Master Distribution Amplifier. Refer to the CM9760-MDA manual for details.
NOTE: The KBD300A keyboard has an auto-centering joystick. Be certain the joystick remains in
the neutral (vertical) position as power is applied to the keyboard. Do not move or hold down the
joystick until after the red digit LEDs have finished flashing the firmware revision.
The latest firmware release (version 5.00) allows three additional modes:
CM6700 ASCII Mode: This mode supports the CM6700 matrix auxiliary commands. The F1, F2, and F3
keys control the CM6700-MXB relays that are on the matrix bay. To enable this mode, DIP switch 7 must
be ON and DIP switch 8 must be OFF.
CM6800 ASCII Mode: This mode supports the CM6800 GPI commands. The F1, F2, and F3 keys control
the relays on an REL2064 that is connected to a CM6800 switcher. To enable this mode, DIP switch 7
must be ON and DIP switch 8 must be ON.
Direct D Mode: This mode is similar to the Direct P Protocol, except that the same set of commands is
now sent in Direct D Protocol. To enable Direct D mode, DIP switches 5 and 7 must be ON.
NOTE: You must upgrade your KBD firmware to version 5.00 if the application requires you to
select two-digit monitor numbers.
