Tenveo Conference Control Keyboard

Product Information

The Conference Control Keyboard is a device used for controlling PTZ (Pan- Tilt-Zoom) cameras in conference settings. It allows users to control the speed, zoom, and other settings of the camera.

Product Features

• PTZ control for conference cameras
• Support for various connection modes: VISCA, NDI, ONVIF
• Support for analog mode via RS485/RS422 connection
• Ability to connect up to 256 speed dome cameras
• Network connection via Ethernet
• Power supply: DC12V
• Additional interfaces: USB, RS232

Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect the Conference Control Keyboard and the PTZ camera to the same LAN.
2. Ensure that their IP addresses are in the same network segment. For example, if the PTZ camera has an IP address of 192.168.1.123, the keyboard should have an IP address in the same network segment, such as 192.168.1.111.
3. If the IP addresses are not in the same network segment, you need to modify the IP address of either the keyboard or the PTZ camera. The keyboard gets its IP address dynamically.
4. If using analog mode via RS485 connection, follow the provided connection diagram to connect the PTZ camera.
5. Use the buttons on the Conference Control Keyboard to control the PTZ camera:
   • Button Functions
   • PTZ SPEED RGAIN/BGAIN: Adjusts the speed and gain settings for the PTZ camera.
   • W: Controls the pan movement of the camera.
   • ZOOM: Controls the zoom level of the camera.
   • T: Controls the tilt movement of the camera.
   • Number 1-6: Additional buttons for specific functions (refer to the user manual for detailed descriptions).

Note: The Conference Control Keyboard supports both network mode and analog mode. Refer to the user manual for instructions on setting up and configuring the keyboard for different modes.

Product Connection Diagram

Network Connection

• Network Mode: Connection diagram of controlling PTZ camera via VISCA, NDI, ONVIF

Connect the camera and joystick controller in the same LAN and ensure their IP address in the same network segment, such as 192.168.1.123 and 192.168.1.111 belong to the same network segment, while 192.168.1.123 and 192.168.0.125 do not belong to the same network segment, so you need to modify the joystick controller or the ptz camera IP address. The joystick controller gets its IP address dynamically.

RS485 Connection

• Analog Mode: Connection diagram of controlling PTZ camera Via RS48
• RS485 Control Output: RS485+ of PTZ camera connects to Ta of RS422 on the joystick controller and RS485 – of PTZ camera connects to Tb of RS422 on the Joystick controller.

RS232 Connection

The first pin RXD of joystick controller (10pin terminal) connects to the Input interface TXD of camera, the second pin TXD of joystick controller connects to RXD of camera, the third pin of joystick controller connects to GND of camera (also can use the standard RS232 interface (DBO) of joystick controller to connect the camera.)

Connection Between Cameras

Use the RS485 bus cascade connection method. The output of camera #1 connects to the input of camera #2 and the output of camera #2 connects to the input of camera #3 and so on as shown in the diagram below:

This can occur when the camera(s) and/or joystick aren’t properly set up.

1. Check that the network jacks you are using are active.
2. Check that the network or serial cables you are using are not failing.
3. Check that the camera control address matches the joystick control address.
4. Check that you are in the correct control mode. Hold the Joystick Controller button for 3+ seconds to toggle between serial and Network control.

Multiple cameras are being controlled at once

This can occur when multiple cameras are set to the same joystick control address.
Check the camera’s control addresses and ensure that each camera has a unique address.

• Open the joystick OSD menu and select option 3. Device List: Inquire. Check that none of the connected cameras have the same control address.
• Log into the Web UI and select Devices. Check that none of the connected cameras have the same control address.

Note
