ControlCenter 200/300 Keyboards are robust, full-function
system keyboards compatible with the MegaPower
family of
matrix switcher/controller systems. These keyboards feature
color-coded elastomeric keys that have a true tactile feel.
Cameras, presets, patterns, views, and auxiliaries are all easily
controlled. All system activities, including tours, salvos and
alarms, can be controlled directly from the keyboard.
The keyboards offer recorder control for VCRs and digital
video recorders (DVRs). The keyboards’ vector-solving
joystick provides one-handed control of the selected
fixed or variable-speed pan/tilt or dome. ControlCenter
300 keyboards also provide twist-to-zoom control of
motorized lenses.
With either model, you can select ADnet (RS-485) control
for MegaPower LT or RS-232 control for MegaPower 48 Plus
and MegaPower 3200 systems. The keyboards have adjustable
baud rates to properly match the requirements of the matrix
switcher/controller system. In addition, ControlCenter 200
is an operator keyboard, providing no system or camera
programming capabilities, when used with MegaPower 48 Plus
and MegaPower 3200 systems.
Both ControlCenter keyboards support the DirectSet dome
control function. Using a dedicated key, you can easily bring
up the dome camera function menu and change the setting or
enter the function number directly to quickly change the setting
(e.g. change from day mode to night mode).
