Keyboard/Joystick Operation
Basic Control
•
Pan & Tilt Control o Joystick movement provides variable speed pan
and tilt of the camera head.
•
Zoom Control
o
Rotation of the joystick controls variable speed zoom of the lens.
Clockwise rotation of the joystick = zoom in.
Counter-clockwise rotation of the joystick = zoom out.
Manual Control Options
•
Focus Control – (VISCA Only, Pelco-P &-D do not provide for “Man

o
Incremental Iris control can also be achieved using the following
keys: “Iris+”, “Iris-” (manual exposure is auto enabled upon pressing
Iris+ or Iris-). o Note: Some cameras do not have an “Iris” (or manual
Iris) mode. For this reason, Manual Exposure is used. Therefore, for
best results, use the camera’s IR remote to first select a desired
shutter speed before using “Man Exp”, “Iris+” and “Iris-"
•
Speed Control o Speed control can be adjusted by pressing the
“Speed” button.
o
You can adjust the Pan (0 – 24), Tilt (0 - 20), Zoom (1 - 7), Focus

•
Send camera to its “Home” PTZ Position o Press the “Home” key.
Note: When in Pelco-P or –D, this button will call preset 0, instead of
Home. Pelco-P and –D do not provide for a “Home” position. You must
first set preset 0 to use this feature with Pelco)
Notes on using presets with VISCA:
For your convenience, the BG-CJ-RS uses the same preset numbers whether
‘set’, ‘called’ or ‘cleared’ via hand-held IR remote, VISCA, Pelco-P or
Pelco-D. This is in contrast to Sony’s traditional offset of -1 between IR
remote commands and VISCA commands. If you are used to Sony’s
traditional method, you no longer need to make this adjustment.

Keyboard/Joystick Connection Wiring and Indicators
Indicators:
•
“PW” illuminates Red when unit is powered
•
“TXD” flashes green when unit is transmitting commands
•
“RXD” flashes green when unit is receiving responses
Power:
•
Keyboard/Joystick requires external 12VDC. Use only the 12VDC power supply
shipped with the unit.
The Keyboard/Joystick may be connected to cameras via RS232, RS485 or RS422.
•
For RS232, connect the DB9 port of the KB to the miniDin8 (VISCA) port of the
camera with pin-out as follows:
o
KB Tx – Pin 3 ---------- Camera Rx - Pin 5 o KB
Rx – Pin 2 ---------- Camera Tx - Pin 3 o KB Gnd –
Pin 5 ---------- Camera Gnd - Pin 4
•
For RS485, connect the 5p screw terminal port of the KB to the RS485 port of
the camera with pin-out as follows:
o
KB Ta – Pin 1 ---------- Camera (+) o KB Tb – Pin 2 ----------- Camera (-)
9
o
KB Gnd – Pin 5 ---------- Camera (G) (if present – some cameras will not
require a G)
•
For RS422, connect the 5p screw terminal port of the KB to the RS422 port of
the camera with pin-out as follows:
o
KB Ta – Pin 1 ----------- Camera (Rx-)
o
KB Tb – Pin 2 ----------- Camera (Rx+)
o
KB Ra – Pin 3 ----------- Camera (Tx-)
o
KB Rb – Pin 4 ----------- Camera (Tx+)
o
KB Gnd – Pin 5 ---------- Camera (G) (if present – some cameras will not
require a G)

Troubleshooting
•
Cannot Control Camera at all o Check that LCD is in the Main Menu. Press
“Esc” key to return to main menu, if needed. Note: Repeated presses may be
required depending on how deep you are in a menu, e.g. this can often
happen after setting presets and then attempting to Call presets without
exiting the Set menu.
o
Check that PW Indicator is solid Red. If not, check power supply
connection to KB and AC Mains. If still unlit, power supply or the KB may
be damaged.
o
Check both KB settings and camera settings to ensure that the following
ALL match:
Camera ID (e.g. 01, 02, etc…)
Camera Protocol (e.g. VISCA, PELCO-P, PELCO-D)
Baud Rate (e.g. 9600) o Check all KB-camera connections and
cabling per “Connection Wiring and Indicators” section above. o
Check TXD Indicator for Green flickering when cam is moved using
the joystick. If not flickering, KB or its joystick may be damaged.
•
Controlling more than 1 camera at a time.
o
Check all cameras to ensure that each has a unique ID. o Check all
camera settings in KB menu to make sure that the protocol setting for
that camera ID matches that of the actual camera. o Note, you cannot
typically mix VISCA, Pelco-P or Pelco-D cameras in the same daisy chain.
o
Check control wiring.
For RS232, cabling must flow from KB into the VISCA-in port of the
first camera and then from VISCA-out port of first camera to
VISCA-in port of next camera, etc... With daisy chained RS232, no
terminator is required on the last camera. A VISCA cross-over
cable must be used for all camera to camera connections. These
are available in various lengths.
For RS485 and RS422, all connections are in parallel (e.g. all cams’
485+ are connected to KB’s 485+ and all cams’ 485- are connected
to KB’s 485-) and termination may be required depending upon
overall cabling distances involved.
