DESCRIPTION  
The KBD4000 Genex® Multiplexer Keyboard is a full-function keyboard controller for the  
MX4000 Genex Multiplexer and MX4000SVR Genex Multiplexer Server.  
This manual covers the KBD4000 keyboard’s operation with both duplex and simplex  
models of the multiplexer. The differences, as they pertain to the keyboard, are indicated as  
necessary.  
The mode of operation depends on whether the keyboard is connected to a multiplexer or  
to a server. (See Modes of Operation for an explanation.)  
In addition to performing all the control functions that can be done from the multiplexer’s  
front panel, the keyboard features a three-axis joystick and additional keys to control fixed  
and variable speed pan, tilt, and lens functions. The keyboard can also operate presets,  
auxiliaries, and patterns and can be used to program the multiplexer or server.  
IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN SIMPLEX AND DUPLEX MULTIPLEXER  
OPERATING MODES.  
The simplex multiplexer has three operating modes:  
Live  
VCR  
The main monitor can show live video both in full-screen or multi-screen  
views. You cannot record in live mode. The multiplexer’s DISPLAY/  
RECORD LED is off.  
The main monitor shows full-screen or multi-screen views of videotape  
playback. You cannot record in VCR mode. The multiplexer’s DISPLAY/  
RECORD LED is off.  
Record The main monitor shows live video of an individual camera in full-screen  
view only. You can record only when in record mode. While recording, all  
cameras are being recorded simultaneously. The multiplexer’s DISPLAY/  
RECORD LED is on.  
The duplex multiplexer has two operating modes:  
Live  
VCR  
The main monitor shows live video both in full-screen or multi-screen views.  
You can record while viewing any or all cameras. While recording, all  
cameras are being recorded simultaneously. The multiplexer’s LIVE/VCR  
LED is on.  
The main monitor shows full-screen or multi-screen views of videotape  
playback. You can record in VCR mode if you have a second VCR con-  
nected to the VCR OUT jack on the multiplexer. The multiplexer’s LIVE/VCR  
LED is off.

CHECK THESE THINGS  
IMPORTANT: The key-  
board is ready to operate  
when plugged into a multi-  
plexer or multiplexer server.  
However, some mini-  
mal programming may  
be required to make  
your system work. Do  
not assume there is nothing  
more to do after connecting  
the keyboard to the system.  
2A  
MULTIPLEXER  
Below are the minimum things to check.  
1. If you have more than one multiplexer, each one must have its own address (UNIT ID  
in the Advanced System Setup menu). If you have a server, the multiplexer address  
must match the input on the server to which it is connected. For example, if the  
multiplexer is connected to input 3 on the server, set the multiplexer address to 3.  
2. Set the master/slave designation to let the keyboard communicate with multiplexers.  
•
In polled mode (switch 4 OFF), you must designate one multiplexer (any one) as  
the master and all the others as slaves. If you have just one multiplexer, it must  
be the master.  
•
In non-polled communication mode (switch 4 ON), all multiplexers must be  
slaves (the keyboard is the master).  
Set the address and master/slave designation from the front panel of the  
multiplexer, not from the keyboard. For instructions, refer to Controlling the  
Multiplexer with the Keyboard in the Programming section.  
2B  
MULTIPLEXER SERVER  
Below is the minimum you should check.  
If you intend to control two monitors from one keyboard (paired mode), you must change  
the settings for the monitors (Monitor menu). Programming the server can only be done  
from the keyboard. Refer to the server manual for instructions.  
Pelco Manual C1921M-G (1/04)

SETTING COAXITRON® CONTROL OF CAMERAS  
3
The KBD4000 keyboard provides Coaxitron control of pan, tilt, and lens functions. There  
are three Coaxitron format settings, which are set in the Camera Setup section.  
NOTE: If you have a multi-  
plexer server, you must en-  
ter the Camera menu from  
the multiplexer’s front panel.  
Then you can program the  
cameras from the front  
Standard  
Use for moveable cameras controlled by 15-bit standard Coaxitron  
receivers, such as the CX9000 Series, the PT7700, and the ED25/27/  
28/29. The KBD4000 keyboard, in conjunction with a Genex multi-  
plexer, supports all pan, tilt, and lens functions, and auxiliary on/off.  
The keyboard does not set or call presets or support preset scanning.  
panel of the multiplexer or  
from the keyboard.  
Extended  
(Default)  
Use for moveable cameras controlled by 32-bit extended Coaxitron  
receivers, such as Esprit®, Intercept®, Spectra®, and the LRD41C21/  
LRD41C22 Series. The KBD4000 keyboard, in conjunction with a  
Genex multiplexer, supports all 15-bit functions, plus the setting and  
calling of presets and patterns. A different control, such as the  
MPT9500, is required to program labels for presets and patterns.

Pelco Manual C1921M-G (1/04)  
PROGRAMMING  
This section applies only to programming the multiplexer. The multiplexer can be  
programmed from the keyboard or from the multiplexer’s front panel. To program the  
multiplexer from the front panel, refer to the multiplexer manual. To program the  
multiplexer server, refer to the server manual.  
NOTE: To program a multi-  
plexer if a multiplexer server  
is installed, you must enter  
programming mode from the  
multiplexer’s front panel.  
After doing so, you can pro-  
gram the multiplexer  
through its front panel or  
you can navigate and make  
programming selections  
through the keyboard.  
Programming lets you configure the multiplexer (from the KBD4000) for the way you want your  
system to operate. The multiplexer automatically selects the most common operating param-  
eters. However, some minimal programming may be required to make your system work.  
Programming of system, camera, and VCR setup; camera sequencing; and alarm and  
activity detection is done through on-screen menus displayed on the main monitor. You can  
enable a password to prevent unauthorized access to the menus.  
Programming of the picture-in-picture, and 4-, 9-, and 16-camera displays can be done  
directly without going through menus. (Refer to the Multiple Camera Display Setup section.  
CONTROLLING THE MULTIPLEXER WITH THE KEYBOARD  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

6. Use the arrow buttons to move the cursor to COMM TYPE.  
•
•
In polled communication mode (switch 4 off), one multiplexer must be the  
master and all others slaves.  
In non-polled mode (switch 4 on), all multiplexers must be slaves (the  
keyboard is master).  
7. Use the arrow buttons to go to EXIT. Press the +/- button to exit the menu. You can  
now use the keyboard to program the multiplexer(s).  
PASSWORD  
You can program the multiplexer to request a password for access to programming menus.  
Refer to the Advanced System Setup section for information on enabling the password.  
The universal password is 3916 and cannot be changed. You must enter this password

alarm or activity detection will override the camera you are watching. When the  
alarm or activity detection goes away, the screen returns to the camera you were  
watching.  
SEQUENCE – Lets you view an individual camera or run a sequence. An alarm  
or activity detection will override the camera you are watching. When the alarm  
or activity detection goes away, the screen returns to the camera you were  
watching.  
TRACK MAIN – The spot monitor will follow the camera switching that occurs on  
the main monitor. This feature is used only when a KBD4000 keyboard is  
connected to the multiplexer for controlling moveable cameras. This mode  
provides an easy way of simplifying PTZ control in single-monitor applications.

situation.  
Unit ID  
This is the multiplexer’s address. If your system has more than one multiplexer, each  
must have its own address. This must be set at the multiplexer—not at the keyboard.  
16  
Pelco Manual C1921M-G (1/04)  
Comm. Type  
•
In polled communication mode (switch 4 off), one multiplexer (any one) must be  
the master. Only one multiplexer can be master; all others must be slaves. The  
master multiplexer communicates with the slave multiplexers.  
•
In non-polled communication mode (switch 4 on), all multiplexers must be  
slaves (the keyboard is master).  
The default is MASTER for duplex models and MASTER (KBD T/D) for simplex  
models.  
Relay Output  
This operates the relay on the back of the multiplexer. The relay is used to change the  
VCR to its alarm recording speed.  
•
•
In alarm mode, an alarm signal is produced when a remote switch opens or  
closes a ground in the multiplexer (for example, if a switch is on a door and the  
door is opened).  
In activity mode, the multiplexer continually monitors select camera inputs for  
motion. When motion is detected, the multiplexer increases the frequency with  
which that camera(s) is shown and recorded. Activity detection is most effective  
when only a few cameras are showing activity (refer to the Camera Setup  
section).

Activity detection continually monitors selected camera inputs for motion. When motion is  
detected, the multiplexer shows and records that camera(s) more frequently. Activity  
detection is most effective when only a few cameras are showing activity. As more cameras  
have activity, the frequency at which they are shown and recorded decreases. If all 16  
cameras show activity, there will be virtually no increase.  
The activity detection mask selects the portions of the camera’s field of view the multiplexer  
will monitor for activity. The entire grid is active on default.  
To program an activity detection mask for a camera:  
1. Press the MAIN MONITOR key.  
2. Select the camera.  
Addressing by Multiplexer (Switch 7 OFF)  
a. On the number pad, enter the multiplexer’s address number (1-16 if the keyboard

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If you have difficulty operating your system, run through the following checklist to see if you  
can solve the problem.  
1. Are the keyboard switches set properly?  
2. Is the equipment wired properly?  
3. Are the menu options in the multiplexer(s) and server set properly?  
4. Is the multiplexer set to the correct mode for live video or tape playback?  
5. Only the main monitor displays multiple-screen images. The spot monitor displays full-  
screen views only.  
6. Patterns, presets, and auxiliaries operate with the spot monitor only. You must push  
the SPOT key, even if the spot monitor is set to track the main monitor. Tracking the  
main monitor applies to PTZ control only, not to patterns, presets, and auxiliaries.  
7. Programming controls the auxiliary monitor (duplex multiplexer only). You cannot  
control it from the keyboard or from the multiplexer’s front panel.  
8. Tape playback can be done only on the main monitor (in VCR mode).  
9. Moveable cameras must be Coaxitron compatible with the proper Coaxitron format  
selected in the multiplexer’s Camera menu. If an improper format is selected, the  
camera will either not move or have sluggish control.  
10. Moveable cameras can be operated with the joystick only if SPOT MONITOR is chosen  
or if the spot monitor is programmed to track the main monitor. The camera moves on  
the main monitor if the same camera is being shown on both the main and spot monitors.  
11. Switch 7 on the keyboard determines how you call cameras.  
•
If the switch is ON, all cameras are addressed consecutively. Do not count just  
the installed cameras. Count 16 camera inputs per multiplexer, even if a  
multiplexer has only nine inputs. The first input of multiplexer 1 is always camera  
1; the first input of multiplexer 2 is always camera 17; the second input of  
multiplexer 3 is always camera 34.  
•
If the switch is OFF, cameras are addressed in groups of 9 or 16 according to the  
multiplexer’s address. Select a multiplexer (number 3 for example), then choose  
a camera (1-9 or 1-16).  
12. Switch 4 on the keyboard determines the communication mode.  
•
In polled communication mode (switch 4 OFF), if you have one multiplexer, it  
must be the master. If you have multiple multiplexers, one (any one) must be the  
master and all others slaves.  
•
In non-polled communication mode (switch 4 ON), all multiplexers must be  
slaves. Refer to the multiplexer’s Advanced System Setup menu.  
13. If you have more than one multiplexer, each must have a unique address  
(multiplexer’s Advanced System Setup menu).  
14. If you have a server, the multiplexer’s address must correspond to the server’s input to  
which it is connected. For example, if the multiplexer goes to input 4 on the server, the  
multiplexer must be address 4.  
15. If you have a server, each keyboard must have its own address.  
38  
Pelco Manual C1921M-G (1/04)  
16. If you have a server, each keyboard controls its corresponding monitors.  
•
•
In SINGLE mode, keyboard 1 controls monitor 1, keyboard 2 controls monitor 2, etc.  
In PAIRED mode, keyboard 1 controls monitor 1 (main) and monitor 2 (spot), and  
keyboard 3 controls monitor 3 (main) and monitor 4 (spot). In paired mode,  
keyboards 2 and 4 are not used.  
17. If you have a server and cannot change between full-screen and multi-screen views  
on the main monitor, check the MAIN MONITOR CONTROL setting in the server’s  
Monitor menu.  
18. Inadvertently changing the UNIT ID (in the Advanced System Setup menu) at the  
keyboard can cause uncontrollable sequencing of unit ID numbers and loss of  
keyboard control. Do one of the following:  
•
Press the down arrow button on the multiplexer. Sequencing should stop. Exit the  
menu, return to the Advanced System Setup menu, and change UNIT ID back to  
001. Continue normal programming from the keyboard.  
•
If the multiplexer is remotely located from the keyboard, wait until the numbers  
sequence to the correct multiplexer unit ID number and immediately move the  
joystick in any direction. Sequencing should stop. Continue normal programming  
from the keyboard.
