Installation and Operating Instructions
SELECTING A VCR
Video Cassette Recorders with RS232 control ports can be connected to the Pyramid system via the eight serial ports on
the rear panel of a Pyramid matrix unit. When a VCR is connected to the Pyramid system, the controls to operate it are
available on the Pyramid 2 Keyboard.
To operate a VCR using the Pyramid 2 Keyboard, it must first be selected. To do this, it is necessary to know the number
that was assigned to the VCR when the system was installed. This should be available from the site manager.
Once the VCR number is known, it can be selected and operated.

Note
Once a VCR has been selected, it will remain selected for the rest of the current session or until a different VCR is selected.
For example, this means that an operator could use the Pyramid 2 Keyboard to put a VCR into record mode, and then use
the keyboard to control camera and monitor operations.
To do this:
1. Using the soft-keys in the
VCR Control
screen, set the VCR to operate as required. See the following page for more
information on the VCR soft-keys.
2. To take control of camera and monitor operations, press the
Operator
screen key. The control screen for the currently
selected camera is displayed.
3. To return to the
VCR/MUX
screen, press the
VCR/MUX
screen key.
4. Then, to return to the

screen for the selected VCR, press the
