17 Keyboard Operation

17.1 General

Primary operation of an Allegiant switcher is controlled via the system keyboard.

The two types of keyboards currently available are:

•Conventional LTC 8555 Series (incorporates LEDs and pushbuttons).

•IntuiKey model (uses dynamic LCD menu screens).

General operation steps for both keyboard models follows. Refer to the individual instruction manuals supplied with the keyboard for additional information.

As the system is supplied from the factory, various user selectable features are set to a default state. See Chapter 14, “Factory Default Settings,” on page 50 for com- plete feature descriptions. Since these features are user selectable and can have a significant effect on the operation of the system, it is important to take note of any changes that may be in effect.

17.2 System Commands

17.2.1 Keyboard Log-in Procedure

Keyboard modes:

•Factory default, a keyboard is ready for use as soon as power is applied to the system.

•System operator must log-on to a keyboard to access the system. When a sys- tem is configured to use the keyboard log-on, operators must be pre-assigned a user number and password. Up to 32 user numbers are available, each having default priority level. User specific priority levels can be changed only via the optional PC-based LTC 8059/00 MCS package or the LTC 8850/00 GUI Soft- ware. Refer to the software manual for complete details.

If the log-on feature is enabled and an operator is not logged-in, LED keyboards show flashing dashes in their display. IntuiKey keyboards prompt for entry of a user number when attempting to enter the main Allegiant softscreen menu.

Enter your assigned user number via the numeric keypad and press [Enter]. When prompted, enter the password. Invalid passwords cause the keyboard to revert to its initial state. Once the log-in is successful, the keyboard will show camera and monitor numbers in its display.

Upon logging in, the monitor controlled by the keyboard may automatically switch to a pre-assigned camera number. This function is only applicable if enabled by the system administrator (via the optional MCS package) and may not function if the monitor is running a sequence and/or in an alarm condition.

NOTE The information below applies to both IntuiKey keyboards and the LTC 8555 Series keyboards. Where applicable, button designations specific to IntuiKey keyboards are shown in plain text. Equivalent button designations that apply to the LTC 8555 Series keyboards are placed in brackets ([ ]) immediately after the IntuiKey button text.
