Connecting an alphanumeric keyboard
Expression and Insight facepanels and ETCNet2 Video Nodes can support an optional
alphanumeric keyboard. Use the optional keyboard to assign labels to many features of
your shows, such as to name the show and the cues, submasters, groups, timed events
and programs within it. You cannot use the keyboard attached to the facepanel to access
Emphasis Server functions.
You can supply your own keyboard or order one from ETC. If you supply your own, it must
be an AT compatible type, or can be switched to an AT-compatible mode. ETC
recommends the Cherry G80-1800 and Keytronic 101 keyboards. Although you may use
keyboards from other manufacturers, ETC does not guarantee compatibility.
C A U T I O N :
Do not connect or disconnect an alphanumeric keyboard while your system is
turned on. Doing so may cause the keyboard to initialize improperly.
Install an alphanumeric keyboard:
Step 1: On the keyboard, ensure the selector switch is set to the AT position, if
applicable.
Step 2: Insert the keyboard cable into the connector labeled Keyboard on the facepanel
or remote interface unit.
