4DESCRIPTION

The LTC 8555 Series Keyboard is the primary operator interface to the Allegiant Series of Video Matrix Switcher/Controllers. These keyboards provide access to system switching operations, programming, alarm response, and camera control. Both fixed speed and variable speed pan/tilt-equipped cameras are easily operated via the intuitive joystick control. In addition, simple rotation of the joystick knob allows operators to control cameras equipped with motorized zoom lenses.

Easy to read LED displays show real time camera, monitor, and communication status, as well as error messages. Keyboards also provide audible and visual indications of system alarm conditions. A built-in diagnostic mode makes troubleshooting of suspected fault conditions easy.

5.1General

The maximum number of keyboards that can be connected to an Allegiant system depends on the Allegiant model. The following table lists Allegiant Switcher models and the number of keyboards supported by each:

	Maximum Keyboards
Allegiant	Total	RS-232 Model
Model	Keyboards	Keyboards
LTC 8100 Series	2	2
LTC 8200 Series	4	4
LTC 8300 Series	4	4
LTC 8500 Series	8	8
LTC 8600 Series	16	8
LTC 8800 Series	32	8
LTC 8900 Series	64	4/8

In LTC 8600, and LTC 8900 systems, standard keyboards above eight are connected to the systems using either an LTC 8714 Series Keyboard Port Expander, or a combination of LTC 8714 and LTC 8715 Series Keyboard Port Expander accessory units. Keyboard Port Expander units are Allegiant accessory devices that are purchased separately. In LTC 8800 systems, keyboards above eight can be connected to the LTC 8802 Monitor Expansion bay (up to 8 more) and/or Keyboard Port Expanders. RS-232 model keyboards are connected to the Allegiant’s console or printer port or to ports provided by a LTC 8712 Series Console Expander unit.

When connected directly to an Allegiant CPU bay using either the supplied cable or the optional

LTC 8558 Extension Cable, the keyboard is powered by the Allegiant power supply. In all other configurations power to the keyboard is typically provided via a power adapter included in the optional LTC 8557 Series Remote Hookup kit.
