The VK-2 is designed to provide integrated control of Videoswitch Digital Recorders and third party domes
and/or pan and tilt heads.
In addition to controlling all Videoswitch VDM and VDC-series Digital Recorders, the VK-2 can also be used
to control VM-series conventional multiplexers, VS-series switchers and VQ-series advanced screen
splitters. Up to sixteen such units may be controlled.

1.1 Connecting Up
1.1.1 Control of Digital Recorder (or other Videoswitch unit)
The connector marked “VDM” is connected to the keyboard input of a Videoswitch Digital recorder, using a
CAT5 cable.
1.1.2 Connect to a monitor
Connect a monitor to the BNC connector marked “MONITOR” on the VK-2. Note that the Digital Recorder
must be equipped with the necessary interface. Early Videoswitch Digital Recorders may lack this interface,
in which case a Videoswitch T25A adaptor PCB and balun are required.
1.1.3 Multiple VK-2 Keyboards
If a second VK-2 keyboard is to be used, connect the “VDM” output RJ45 connector of the second (slave)
keyboard to the “VK” input RJ45 connector of the first (master) keyboard. Further keyboards may be daisy-
chained in the same way. All domes and Digital Recorders are connected to the master keyboard.

1.1.4 Dome Control
•The VK-2 has two dome outputs “DOMES1” and “DOMES-2”.
•A particular VK-2 can be connected to a maximum of two different types of dome; all of one type
must be connected to the “DOMES-1” output, and all of the other type of dome must be connected
to the “DOMES-2” output.
•Each camera (up to 256) must be assigned to use one or other of these outputs (the factory default
assigns all cameras assigned to “DOMES-1”output).
•Each of the two dome outputs is assigned a dome protocol.
•The domes may be either daisy-chained. In this case, turn the termination off on all domes except
the last in the daisy chain, which should have its termination set on.
•The dome may be connected in “star” mode by means of a RS485 “star expander” (our product
code “VX Hub”). In this case, all domes should have their termination on.
•Each dome must be set up with an address that corresponds with the camera input to which it is
connected (i.e. addresses 1, 2, 3 etc for domes on camera inputs 1, 2, 3 etc)

1.2 Connection Example
The diagram below illustrates how the VK-2 is typically interconnected with other equipment.
Note:
•All dome control by the VK-2 is via RS485 twisted pair.
•Supported domes, which have RS485 twisted pair control, may be connected directly as shown.
•Domes, which only have coax control, require a protocol converter, also shown.
•The “DOMES-1” and “DOMES-2” outputs from the VK-2 may be used to control different makes
of domes of any type. They may also be used to control the same make of dome.
•If master/salve operation is required, all domes must be connected to the master VK-2.
•Multiple Digital Recorders may be daisy chained. Each must be allocated a different unit address
(001, 002, 003 etc). Clock synchronisation may be selected in VDMs to keep dates and times of all
units in step.
