2.2 Understanding the IntuiKey
The IntuiKey provides easy, full-function system control and programming of a variety of
Bosch security products including Allegiant Switchers, Divar Series digital video recorders,
System4® Multiplexers, and VCRs. System cameras can be controlled through any of these
devices linked to the keyboard. Backwards compatibility with existing Bosch products
enables the IntuiKey’s integration into almost any system configuration (no additional
devices/interfaces necessary).
The IntuiKey user interface simplifies system programming by providing intuitive menus,
allowing easy and flexible system control navigation. Using the optional KBD-SFTCFG software
package (sold separately), customized menu screens can be programmed to activate Allegiant
Command Script macro functions. In addition, this PC-based software supports individualized
labeling of the softkey text displays.
The IntuiKey is available in two models, each with an integral, variable speed pan/tilt/zoom
joystick. The KBD-Universal provides control of any combination of system components,
including Allegiant Switchers, Divar Series DVRs, and System4 Multiplexers. The KBD-Digital
provides control of Divar Series DVRs and System4 Multiplexers. Both types can be used with
Bosch VMS or VIDOS Video Management Software. The IntuiKey also supports the ability to
operate in a Terminal mode. In Terminal mode, the operation of the keyboard is completely
controlled by third-party software via an RS-232 interface.
Optional equipment available from Bosch for use with the IntuiKey Keyboards includes an
external power supply, rack mount kit, and keyboard extenders.
