KEYBOARDS  
Up to 16 keyboards from the KBD100/200/300 Series and 2 keyboards from the KBD960/  
KBR960 Series can be connected to the CM6800, allowing monitoring stations that share a  
common monitor to each have a keyboard. Camera positioning can be programmed and  
controlled from the KBD200/300 and KBD960/KBR960 Series keyboards. Keyboard types  
can be mixed in a system. Refer to Associated Equipment for keyboard descriptions.  
SEQUENCES, MACROS, PRESETS, PATTERNS, AND ZONES  
Special programmed operations include sequences, macros, and camera control, such as  
presets, patterns, and zones. All programming (except the scratchpad sequence) is  
password-protected.  
A sequence allows operators to see a routine of 72 camera views on any system monitor  
over and over again. The sequence can be operated automatically or manually. The order  
in which the camera views appear and the time each view remains can be programmed.  
The CM6800 also provides a scratchpad sequence, which allows a sequence to be run  
from an individual monitor. The scratchpad sequence can be accessed without entering the  
password-protected programming menus.  
A macro is a sequence of commands or steps. When a macro is run, the steps programmed  
into that macro are performed. Macros can be operated automatically or manually. Automatic  
operation can be based on specific times or dates.  
The following operations are available only with positionable cameras:  
A preset allows operators to direct a PTZ (camera positioning system) to move to a  
predetermined scene on keyboard command or as a result of an alarm. In addition to  
moving the camera, a descriptive title can appear on the screen. The number of  
presets available is determined by the camera positioning system. (Presets are not  
available with the KBD100 keyboard.)  
With a pattern operators can program a camera positioning system to move around  
its viewing area in a repeating pattern. The number and time length of patterns varies  
with different positioning systems. (Patterns are not available with the KBD100  
keyboard.)  
A zone is a user-defined, physical location to which (1) a label is attached and (2) a  
camera is associated. When the associated camera is panned through or remains  
within this defined zone, the zone label appears on the monitor. (Zones are not  
available with the KBD100 keyboard.)  
INTERFACE CONTROL  
The CM6800 interfaces with the following:  
Coaxitron® standard mode (15-bit) and extended mode (32-bit) protocol receivers  
Pelco’s D and P protocol receivers (RS-422)  
Pelco’s M protocol devices (RS-485)  
PARTIONING AND PRIORITY  
The CM6800 provides four ways to partition your system:  
Camera to Monitor: Cameras can be assigned to specific monitors for viewing.  
Keyboard to Monitor: Keyboards can be assigned to control specific monitors.  
Camera to Keyboard:  
- Viewing: Keyboards can be assigned view-only access to specific cameras (no  
PTZ control).  
- Control: Keyboards can be assigned PTZ control and viewing access to specific  
cameras.  
The CM6800 provides eight levels of priority control. Each level defines the ability of a  
keyboard to control a camera positioning system and to access programming screens.

ALARM INPUTS  
The CM6800 can accommodate 136 alarm inputs.  
Eight internal alarm inputs are provided on the rear panel of the matrix switcher/controller.  
These internal alarm inputs are programmable to associate any camera to any input.  
The CM6800 provides numerous alarm handling and display options. For example, alarms  
can:  
cause a system monitor display to switch automatically to the camera with the alarm.  
activate patterns or go to presets.  
operate auxiliary outputs.  
Also, up to two ALM2064 Alarm Interface Units can be connected to the CM6800. Each  
alarm interface unit can handle up to 64 alarms, for a total of 128 external alarms.  
AUXILIARY OUTPUTS  
Three internal auxiliary outputs are provided on the back of the CM6800. Two are relay  
outputs, and one is an open collector (TTL) output. You can also connect up to two  
REL2064 Relay Interface Units for a maximum capacity of 128 auxiliaries.  
Auxiliary outputs are activated at the keyboard (except KBD100).  
POWER, MOUNTING METHODS  
The CM6800 operates on 120V or 230V, 50/60 Hz. The case mounts in three rack units  
(5.25 inches or 13.34 cm) of vertical space in a universal mount, such as a 19-inch (48.26  
cm) equipment bay, or to a wall or tabletop.  
CONTINUOUS OPERATING DEVICE  
The CM6800 is a self-contained video surveillance system designed specifically for use in  
security applications. As such, the CM6800 is intended for continuous duty operation. Once  
installed, there are no user or service technician items that require intervention which would  
require the system to go off-line or have the power turned off under normal operation.  
There are two methods for system programming: direct menu control and indirect control,  
using a Windows®-based setup program supplied by Pelco. Both of these methods are  
noninvasive and do not require the cycling of power in order for storage or execution of new  
software settings. The communication ports use standard low voltage interfaces such as  
RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, and all connections and disconnections do not require  
rebooting or power cycling. Video connections or changes of termination state do not  
require rebooting or power cycling.

VIDEO SOURCES  
The CM6800 offers 48 full-function video inputs which support Coaxitron PTZ control and  
video loss detection. Forty video inputs, labeled 1 through 40, can be used for looping  
video connections with terminating and unterminating switches on the back panel. The  
eight alternate source inputs, labeled 41 through 48, are terminated inputs. They do not  
have loop-through connectors or selectable termination switches, but otherwise they offer  
the same functionality as video inputs 1 through 40.  
All 48 video inputs also provide the ability to view and interface with other devices, such as  
Genex multiplexers. If control of the device connected to the video input is required,  
connect a data cable between the multiplexer and the CM6800. Refer to the Connecting  
Genex Multiplexers section for instructions on connecting and controlling video from a  
multiplexer.  
00625  
Figure 4. CM6800 Video Inputs  
1. Connect video cables at the appropriate video input BNC receptacles on the back of  
the CM6800. For best results, use crimp-on BNCs only. Do not use screw-on BNCs;  
these typically do not provide adequate ground and signal connections.

2. On video inputs 1 through 40, set the terminating switches according to your system  
requirements. Video inputs 41 through 48 cannot be used for loop-through connections.  
Terminating switches are used to terminate or unterminate the video input. The factory  
default has the switches set in the terminated (75-ohm) position.  
If you are connecting only a camera to an input, leave the switch in the terminated  
position.

You cannot connect a Coaxitron camera to the PTZ-A or PTZ-B ports. If your video sources  
are all controlled by Coaxitron, skip this section.  
Connect camera control lines to receivers. If any of your video sources are using D or P  
protocol via RS-422 communications, they will connect at the PTZ-A and PTZ-B connectors  
on the back of the CM6800.  
Daisy-chaining (going from one receiver to another) is recommended but not always possible.  
A maximum of 16 receivers can be daisy-chained from each port. If more than 32 receivers  
are required for your system, or if you do not want to daisy-chain the receiver connections,  
use the CM9760-CDU-T. You can connect up to four CM9760-CDU-T units to the  
CM6800-48X8.  
NOTE: After completing  
system installation and  
power-up, you must config-  
ure the CM6800 and the  
camera/receiver. Refer to  
the System Start-Up section.

ALARMS  
The CM6800 provides numerous alarm handling options. Refer to the Programming section  
for a detailed description.  
1. Connect wires from the sensors to the respective alarm input points on the connectors  
at the back of the CM6800. Each sensor requires two wires – one wire to the alarm  
input terminal and a return wire to one of the ground terminals on the connector. The  
CM6800 supports eight internal alarms.  
Alarm sensors can be either N.O. (normally open) or N.C. (normally closed) contacts.  
The CM6800 is set to N.O. as a factory default.  
2. If your system requires more than eight alarms, connect an ALM2064 unit to the  
system. Refer to the M Devices section.

KBD100, KBD200, and KBD300: Remote Keyboards  
Use COM 5, 6, 7, or 8 for remote keyboard connections. Each port can support up to eight  
KBD100/200/300 Series keyboards. Do not exceed a total capacity of 16 keyboards  
connected to the CM6800.  
NOTE: A KBDKIT or  
KBDKIT-X is required to  
connect remote keyboards.  
The KBDKIT consists of two  
RJ-45 wall blocks and one  
120V, 60 Hz to 12V, 60Hz  
transformer. The KBDKIT-X  
has a 230V, 50 Hz to 12V,  
50 Hz transformer. Use one  
wall block for each key-  
board.  
If using COM 7 or 8, you will need to change the settings (the default setting is for an ASCII  
device.) Refer to the Programming section for instructions.  
1. Select a suitable location for each keyboard and wall block. Wall blocks must be within  
6 feet (1.8 m) of a suitable electrical outlet. Do not mount the wall blocks yet.  
2. Connect each keyboard to a wall block, using the keyboard data cable supplied with  
the keyboard.  
3. Remove the wall block covers and wire the connections between each wall block.  
Connect to a final wall block (which will be connected to the CM6800).  
Communication to the keyboards is RS-485. Pelco recommends using four-conductor,  
shielded 18-gauge twisted pairs, such as Belden 9418 or similar cable, that meets or  
exceeds the basic requirements for EIA RS-485 applications.  
4. At each wall block, wire the KBDKIT(-X) transformer to pins 3 and 4. Polarity is  
unimportant.  
5. Replace the cover on the wall block. Secure the wall block to a suitable surface. A  
double-sided sticky pad is provided to mount the wall block.  
6. Set the address switches for each keyboard according to Table D.  
NOTE: If you do not  
connect keyboards to  
7. Connect the final wall block to COM 5, 6, 7, or 8 on the CM6800, using a straight data  
cable (supplied with the CM6800).  
COM 7 or 8, either port can  
be used for a CM9760-MDA  
or an ASCII device.  
Connection instructions for  
CM9760-MDA are provided  
as a Pelco Technical Tip.  
Refer to the note on page  
17. For ASCII devices, refer  
to the documentation that  
comes with the equipment.

M DEVICES  
M protocol devices (KBD960/KBR960 keyboards, ALM2064 Alarm Interface Units, and  
REL2064 Relay Interface Units) can be connected to COM 3 on the CM6800.  
If only one device is to be connected to COM 3, use the instructions for that device in the  
following sections.  
If more than one device is to be connected to COM 3, refer to the Multiple M Devices  
section.  
Connect M devices to the CM6800 with straight cables. Four straight cables and one  
reversed cable are supplied with the CM6800 (save the reversed cable for connecting a  
Genex Multiplexer, if applicable).  
M Devices Addressing  
NOTE: If you wish to use  
the partitioning and priority  
features of the CM6800, you  
must number KBD960/  
KBR960 keyboards within a  
range of 1-8.  
Each M device connected to the CM6800 must have a unique local address within a range  
of 1-16. Use the hardware DIP switches to set the appropriate ALM2064 and REL2064  
local addresses. Specify the appropriate KBD960/KBR960 local address through the  
keyboard Setup Mode after you complete the system installation (refer to the System Start-  
Up section).  
For use with the CM6800, Pelco recommends numbering M devices in a sequential order.  
In a sample application, with two of each M device, you might assign local addresses as  
follows:

LOCAL AUXILIARIES  
The CM6800 provides three local auxiliary (AUX) outputs on the rear panel for controlling  
VCRs, printers, and other devices. These outputs can be activated directly from a keyboard  
by using the F1, F2, and F3 function keys, or they can be activated by an alarm (deter-  
mined by programming). Both relay contacts and TTL outputs are used.  
In addition, you can connect up to two REL2064 Relay Interface Units to the CM6800. Note  
that since operation of the three internal auxiliary relays on the CM6800 will also operate  
the first three relays on the external unit, the maximum capacity of the system may be  
limited to 128 auxiliaries (depending on how you number the external relays). Refer to the  
Connecting a Single REL2064 Relay Interface Unit section for connection instructions.  
CONNECTING RELAY CONTACTS – AUX 1 AND 2  
AUX 1 and 2 are dry contact relay outputs. Refer to Figure 25 for wiring details. Terminal  
connections are provided for both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) contacts.  
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings for the relay contacts.  
You will need to provide an external power source to operate your device. In most cases  
you will also need an external current limiting resistor. The formula for calculating the  
resistor value is given in Figure 25.

CONNECTING THE OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT – F3 (TTL)  
F3 is a TTL open collector output. This output provides a path to ground to control the low  
voltage trigger input on many devices. It can control higher voltage control inputs via  
isolation relays. Refer to Figure 26 for wiring details.  
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings for the TTL output.  
An external pull-up resistor is usually necessary. The formula for calculating the resistor  
value is given in Figure 26.

ALARM CONTACTS  
The CM6800 provides a wide variety of alarm handling and display options. Alarmed  
cameras can be displayed on one or several monitors as part of one or several alarm  
groups (each monitor can display only one alarm group.) You can also customize the  
system to handle alarms in the following ways:  
NOTE: You cannot access  
the Alarm Contacts screen  
when an alarm is active.  
The message MONITOR:  
00# IS IN ALARM. ACCESS  
IS DENIED appears (the  
appropriate monitor number  
appears in place of “00#”).  
the order in which alarms are displayed  
automatic or manual acknowledgement of alarms  
activation of auxiliaries by alarms  
automatic activation of presets or patterns  
N.O. or N.C. operation  
priority assignment  
Before programming alarm settings, verify that no automated system functions are set to  
run, such as a macro that would arm or disarm an alarm. Ensure that system operators do  
not arm or disarm any alarms while you are programming the alarm settings. If an alarm is  
triggered while you are in the CM6800 programming screens, or while programming a  
pattern, preset or zone, the system will exit the on-screen programming function and  
display the alarm on the appropriate monitor(s).  
When programming an alarm to appear on a specific monitor, verify that the monitor has  
access to the camera view triggered by the alarm. Partitioning has priority over alarm  
programming, so if an alarm is cued to a monitor that does not have access to the  
appropriate cameras, the camera views cannot be monitored.  
Alarm Contact Programming Tasks  
To configure the CM6800 internal alarm contacts you must access the Alarm Contact  
screen to complete the following minimum tasks:  
Enable the alarm contact.  
Specify at least one camera step with a dwell greater than zero for each alarm contact.  
Assign the alarm to at least one alarm group.  
The following alarm handling options are set by factory default:  
Acknowledgement type = manual  
Time out = 10 seconds  
Alarm sensor type = N.O. (normally open)  
Priority level = 0  
Alarm group display option = Block Build  
To change these defaults, or to configure external alarm contacts, refer to the following  
sections for detailed programming instructions.  
Alarm Group Display Options  
To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group (A-H). Before  
programming alarms you may want to determine the alarm display format for each  
alarm group. An alarm can include up to eight steps, so eight camera views could  
display as a part of each alarm.  
A priority alarm appears on system monitors before non-priority alarms, despite the order  
specified by the alarm group assignment. In the examples below, all alarms are at the same  
priority level. Refer to the PRIORITY description in Program Internal and External Alarms.

BLOCK BUILD  
Alarmed cameras are displayed across a block of alarm monitors in a sequential order. All  
steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor.

SALVO SWITCHING  
Multiple camera views within the alarm contact programming (the “steps”) are displayed  
simultaneously as a group across a set of monitors. When a new alarm triggers, all  
monitors switch to the new alarm at the same time.  
When programming a Salvo Group:  
Program the Salvo Group to display across a number of monitors equal to the  
number of steps in the alarm contact(s); for example if the alarm contact has six  
steps, set the Salvo Group to display on six monitors. If an alarm contact  
contains more steps than monitors defined for the Salvo Group, the additional  
steps do not appear on a monitor during the alarm.  
Each alarm contact assigned to the Salvo Group should contain the same  
number of steps.  
The Salvo Group switches based on the dwell time entered for the first step in  
the alarm contact.

Internal and External Alarms  
Use the Internal Alarm screen to configure the eight internal alarm inputs on the rear panel  
of the matrix switcher/controller; internal inputs are programmable to associate any camera  
to any input. When an internal alarm is triggered, the alarm icon and an “I” appear on  
designated system monitors.  
Use the External Alarm screen to configure the alarm inputs on external devices; up to 128  
additional inputs are available by connecting up to two ALM2064 Alarm Interface Units. When  
an external alarm is triggered, the alarm icon and an “E” appear on designated system  
monitors.  
The procedure for programming internal and external alarms is the same, except for selecting  
the alarm input type (the TYPE field on the Internal Alarm screen). Set the external alarm  
input type (N.O. or N.C.) through the ALM2064 Alarm Interface Unit. Refer to the ALM2064  
Alarm Interface Unit Installation/Operation Manual for instructions.

EVENT TIMERS  
You can automate system operation to activate sequences or macros on specific monitors.  
Events can be scheduled on a daily or weekly basis, or on a specific date such as a  
holiday. If you set more than one timer to start at the same time, the timers will run in the  
following order of precedence: weekly, special, daily.  
On each event timer screen:  
Two methods are provided for selecting the event time: scrolling through time values  
or entering a valid hour and minute.  
Each timer can activate either a macro or a sequence. Select a value for either the  
MACRO field or the SEQ field.  
A macro started by an event timer runs until the last step is completed (unless you  
specify a loop in the macro).  
A sequence started by an event timer runs continuously until another sequence or  
macro begins, or until a system operator selects a different camera.  
Daily Timer  
Use the Daily Timer screen to schedule up to 32 daily events.

LOGICAL CAMERA NUMBERS  
A logical number is a user-selectable, variable number, and is always associated with an  
actual physical input. A physical input number represents an actual BNC input on the rear  
panel of the CM6800 and is a fixed number. Within the programming screens and at the  
operator level the logical number is the number used for reference.  
Example of a logical numbering plan:  
Physical input number  
Cameras 1-5  
Location in store  
First floor  
Logical number  
11-15  
Cameras 6-12  
Second floor  
21-27  
Use the Logical Camera screen to assign new logical numbers as appropriate for your  
system.

PHY:  
LOG:  
The physical input number represents an actual BNC input on the rear  
panel of the CM6800 and cannot be changed.  
Assign a valid logical number (0001-9998) to each physical camera  
input. A valid number is any number from 0001 to 9998 that has not  
already been assigned to a physical camera input.  
Example: In Figure 43, physical camera input 22 is assigned a  
logical number of 0501. To view this camera an operator  
will do the following:  
1. Enter 501.  
2. Press the CAM key.  
Using the new logical camera number:  
If you change a logical camera number in the programming menus, you cannot control the  
camera until you select the camera number from the keyboard:  
1. Enter the new logical camera number.  
2. Press the CAM key.  
The CM6800 automatically updates all other usages of the logical camera number, such as  
in sequences and macros.

PRIORITY CONTROL  
The CM6800 provides eight levels of priority control. Each level defines the ability of a  
keyboard to control a pan/tilt/zoom (camera positioning system) and to access program-  
ming screens.  
Priority level applies system wide; a keyboard assigned priority level 2 on COM port 8 has a  
higher priority than a keyboard assigned priority level 4 on COM port 5. A higher level  
keyboard takes precedence over a lower level keyboard when the keyboards are issuing  
control commands.

control.  
NOTE: You can connect  
only one ASCII keyboard/de-  
vice per port on the CM6800  
(COM port 1, 2, 4, 7, or 8).  
For ASCII keyboards priority  
control is based on the entry  
for keyboard 1.  
PRIORITY:  
For each keyboard connected to the specified port, assign a priority level  
(01-08).  
OPTIONS:  
Level 1 = highest priority  
Level 8 = lowest priority  
Levels 1 - 4 have the ability to access programming screens. Levels  
5-8 cannot access programming screens. The lowest level or  
keyboards located at the same level will access devices on first-come,  
first-served basis.

ASCII OPERATING COMMANDS  
ASCII protocol uses the ASCII character set to transmit and receive commands between a  
personal computer (PC) and the CM6800. The commands are readable but are not English.  
ASCII commands control the pan and tilt mechanisms (fixed and variable speed), camera  
functions, auxiliary relays, and alarms.  
The ASCII protocol communicates in a standard asynchronous, byte-oriented protocol that  
includes: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit (odd parity), and 1 stop bit. The default  
communication rate is 9600 baud.  
A lowercase “a” ends each command. The ASCII translator acknowledges accepted  
commands and rejected commands with the following responses:  
AKa  
NAa  
command accepted  
command rejected or the ASCII translator does not recognize the command  
If the command requires a numeric value, enter the number first.

GLOSSARY  
Term  
Definition  
Access  
The CM6800 allows you to restrict system control by (1)  
limiting the monitors or cameras a keyboard can access,  
or (2) limiting the cameras that can be viewed on a  
monitor.  
Alarm display format  
Alarm group  
The CM6800 Matrix Switcher provides four formats for  
displaying alarmed cameras on system monitors: Block  
Build, Chronological Pair, Reverse Chronological Pair,  
and Salvo Group.  
To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to  
one or more alarm groups. The CM6800-48X8 Matrix  
Switcher provides eight alarm groups (A through H). The  
CM6800-32X6 Matrix Switcher provides six alarm groups  
(A through F). Refer to Alarm Groups and Alarm Group  
Display Options.  
Alarm priority  
A priority alarm appears on system monitors before a non-  
priority alarm. Refer to the Priority description under  
Internal and External Alarms.  
ASCII  
The binary, 7-bit, 128-character set implemented as the  
standard in communications.  
Auxiliary  
Output relays can be used to control external devices  
based on matrix switcher activities. External devices can  
include VCRs, alarm devices, and triggers for audio  
circuits.  
Baud rate  
Bit  
In video, the greater the speed, the larger amount of  
information passed. In digital systems, this capacity is  
given in bits per second, or baud rates.  
An abbreviation for “binary digit” - the smallest unit of  
information a computer can use. A bit is either a 1 or a 0  
(a high or low voltage state).  
Byte  
An abbreviation for “binary term” – bytes are strings of  
bits, operated upon as a unit. A byte is equal to eight bits  
(256 possibilities) and is large enough to hold one  
character (like an “A” or the number “1”.)  
Camera auxiliary  
Coaxitron  
Some cameras contain an auxiliary output relay, which  
can be used to operate a device connected to the relay.  
This is Pelco’s “up the coax” control technology. Control  
signals are sent back up the coaxial cable that the video  
signal travels down on.  
COM port  
This is a communication port input on the rear panel of the  
matrix switcher.  
Daisy-chain  
This is a way of providing multiple connections in a series,  
from one source. A daisy-chain configuration connects  
multiple, linked devices from one output. When connecting  
PTZ cameras to a matrix switcher, for example, one set of  
cables connects the matrix switcher to each receiver, and  
then each receiver is connected to the next receiver.  
Dwell  
This is the amount of time something happens in the  
system, such as the amount of time a camera view  
displays on a monitor, or an auxiliary is on.  
80  
Pelco Manual C1515M-A (11/01)  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Event timer  
The matrix switcher can automatically initiate macros or  
sequences based on time and date.  
Extended Coaxitron  
Frame scan  
This is Pelco’s Coaxitron control technology that uses 32  
bits to send a command.  
A three-second camera scan followed by a three-second  
pause.  
Latching operation  
Logical camera number  
The auxiliary device remains on until a command is given  
(by a system operator or system automation) to turn it off.  
A user-selectable, variable number, which is associated  
with an actual physical camera input on the rear panel of  
the matrix switcher.  
Macro  
A sequence of commands or steps. Macros can be  
operated automatically or manually. Automatic operation  
can be based on specific times or dates (set through the  
Event Timer).  
Matrix switcher  
This is also known as a cross-point switcher. The cross-  
points are actually electronic switches that select any  
video input onto any video output at any one time,  
preserving the video impedance matching. One video  
signal can simultaneously be selected on more than one  
output. More than one video input can be selected on one  
output, in a sequential switching between inputs (unless  
the input is routed through a multiplexer, which allows  
more than one input to be viewed on the output monitor at  
any one time).  
Momentary operation  
Multiplexer (MUX)  
The auxiliary output operation is activated briefly and then  
turns off.  
A multiplexer allows an operator to view more than one  
video signal (usually either four, nine or sixteen signals) at  
one time on a single monitor. A multiplexer can also send  
these multiple images to the video recorder, switching  
rapidly between image from each camera.  
NTSC  
The American color TV standard, used in North America,  
Japan, and a few other countries. It specifies 525 lines/  
screen, and 29-30 frames/sec.  
Null modem cable  
A null modem cable allows you to connect your PC to  
another nearby PC or serial device by “crossing over”  
(reversing) their respective pin contacts. (A null modem  
cable is limited to 30 feet in length.)  
PAL  
The color TV standard (50Hz) used by European, Asian,  
and some Latin American countries. It specifies 768  
pixels/line, 576 lines/screen and 25 frames/sec.  
Parity type  
The parity bit is used to identify whether the bits being  
moved arrived successfully. Parity bit checking can be  
based on odd or even bits. No parity means that a parity  
bit is not transmitted or checked.  
Partitioning (access)  
The CM6800 allows you to restrict system control by (1)  
limiting the monitors or cameras a keyboard can access,  
or (2) limiting the cameras that can be viewed on a  
monitor.

Pattern  
A pattern is a user-defined, viewable camera path with a  
definite beginning and end. The pattern can consist of any  
standard pan and tilt or lens command. Once defined, the  
pattern is easily activated by a system operator or through  
an automated event. The pattern will run continuously until  
it is deactivated. The number and time length of patterns  
varies with different positioning systems.  
Physical input  
Preset  
A number representing an actual BNC camera input on  
the rear panel of the matrix switcher. This number cannot  
be changed.  
A preset allows operators to direct a PTZ (camera  
positioning system) to move to a predetermined scene on  
keyboard command or as a result of an alarm. In addition  
to moving the camera, a descriptive title can appear on  
the screen. The type of camera positioning system  
determines the number of presets available.  
Priority control  
PTZ  
This is the level of priority a system keyboard has to  
control a PTZ camera positioning system and to access  
CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus.  
This is a camera positioning system with pan, tilt, and  
zoom capabilities.  
Random scan  
This is a camera scan moving in a random pattern.  
RJ-45 wall block  
This is a wall block with eight terminals for connecting  
RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication lines. (This  
is Pelco part number CON12J00820360Z.)  
RS-232  
RS-422  
This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface  
standard used for data communication; the normal  
connection distance is 50 feet (15 m). Pelco uses this  
standard for communication from a controller to a PC or  
RS-232 network. The Pelco three-wire connection  
provides one wire for transmit, one wire for receive, and  
one wire for common.  
This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface  
standard. Pelco uses this standard for communication  
from a controller to one or more camera receivers (on the  
same line); the maximum recommended distance is 4,000  
feet (1,219 m).  
The four-wire connection provides two wires for transmit  
and two wires for receive. Pelco receiver/driver  
communication uses only the two transmit wires  
(commands are sent from the controller to the receiver  
only; the receiver does not “talk” back to the controller).  
Pelco keyboard communication uses all four wires.  
NOTE: The electrical communication scheme used by  
Pelco is a direct-coupled method, not an AC-coupled  
method. Therefore, if the ground potential of the wire at its  
two end points is different (other than zero volts), an  
additional wire is required as a ground.

RS-485  
This is an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) interface  
standard used for communication between multiple  
transmitters and receivers; the maximum recommended  
distance is 4,000 feet (1,219 m). The four-wire connection  
provides two wires for transmit and two wires for receive.  
NOTE: The electrical communication scheme used by  
Pelco is a direct-coupled method, not an AC-coupled  
method. Therefore, if the ground potential of the wire at its  
two end points is different (other than zero volts), an  
additional wire is required as a ground.  
Scratchpad sequence  
A scratchpad sequence can be run on an individual  
system monitor, without entering the password-protected  
CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus.  
You can program scratchpad sequences from the  
CM6800 Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus  
only, not from the CM6800-MGR software.  
Sequence  
Allows an operator to see a routine of 72 camera views on  
any system monitor, over and over again. The sequence  
can be operated automatically or manually. The order in  
which the camera views appear and the time each view  
remains can be programmed.  
Standard Coaxitron  
Star configuration  
This is Pelco’s Coaxitron control technology that uses 15  
bits to send a command.  
This is a way of providing multiple direct connections from  
one source. A star configuration uses a separate cable for  
each direct connection, with all of the cables connected to  
a central device. When connecting PTZ cameras to a  
matrix switcher, for example, the central device can be a  
code distribution unit, such as the CM9760-CDU-T. Each  
camera has a direct connection to the CM9760-CDU-T,  
which is the central device.  
Synchronize  
Since the CM6800 Matrix Switcher can be programmed  
from either the CM6800-MGR software or the CM6800  
Matrix Switcher on-screen programming menus, you could  
potentially have different settings in the two programming  
sources. Pelco recommends transmitting any  
programming changes from the updated programming  
source so that the next time you make changes from  
either programming source, you will be modifying the  
current system settings. Refer to Transmitting  
Programming Settings.  
System keyboard  
This is a keyboard compatible with and connected to the  
matrix switcher, allowing a system operator manual  
control over the system.  
System reset  
This restores the system to the default settings, as  
shipped from the factory.  
Vertical drive/synchronization  
This option sends a timing pulse from the matrix switcher  
to a compatible camera. The camera aligns the vertical  
synchronization with the timing pulse.  
Zone  
A zone is a user-defined, physical location to which (1) a  
label is attached and (2) a camera is associated. When  
the associated camera is panned through or remains  
within this defined zone, the zone label appears on the  
monitor. With some camera systems, a zone can be  
blanked to prevent viewing while the camera is positioned  
in the zone.
