Function keys
The keyboard is used primarily to control a Pyramid system. It also functions as a system programming device. These
functions are protected using smart cards and PIN access.
There are six parts to the keyboard control unit:
Number keys
The number keys are grey in colour and they are used to enter values, such as the number of a camera or monitor, a dwell
time in seconds or the number of a preset position that the operator wants a camera to move to.
Function keys
The function keys are marked with icons to help identify the exact job that they are used for. They include the
Camera
and
Monitor
keys which are used in conjunction with the number keys to select cameras and monitors, the
Increment/Decrement
Camera
key which is used to move between the connected cameras, and the
Focus
and
Iris
keys which allow the operator
to control the camera picture.
LCD Screen
The keyboard has a liquid crystal display (LCD) which displays menus, functions and messages as you use the keyboard.
The keyboard uses context-sensitive screens, so the appropriate menus and functions are displayed at the right time.
