About the AD2089 Keyboard Controller
This chapter describes the features of the AD2089 keyboard. It also describes the location and
function of the keyboard's front panel components.
AD2089 Features
The AD2089 video control station is fully compatible with the American Dynamics MegaPower
CPU and MegaPower 1024 when used in conjunction with Network Client 4.04 (or later) and
Intellex DVMS or Ultra digital video recorders.
Note
In addition to controlling the matrix switchers through Network Client, the AD2089 will work directly
with the MegaPower 48, MegaPower 168, and MegaPower 1024 matrix switcher/controller
systems but will not support the AD2089 DVMS functions.
The AD2089 enables the user to view and control cameras and video recorders at local and
remote facilities, and to control auxiliary devices such as door locks and lights. Additionally, the
operator can acknowledge alarms with the unit. The aforementioned functions are accomplished
in the keyboard’s Operate Mode. Operators with key privileges can also perform programming
functions with the AD2089. These functions include programming of presets (targets), patterns,
scratchpad tours, and macros. Macros are user programmed functions made up of as many as 21
keystrokes that are executed with a single keystroke. Operators can also arm and disarm monitors
for display of system alarms. These functions are accomplished in the Program Mode. Menu
programming enables operators to set up the parameters of American Dynamics switching
systems. System setup is accomplished in the Menu Mode.
