Configuration
The ZVK-66 keyboard has the usual system engineering parameters, which are normally configured by the engineer during
commissioning.
When the keyboard is connected direct to the Fusion workstation, the MAC and termination are automatically configured.
Please refer to the Fusion and FusionEdit manuals for how to setup Fusion to work with the ZVK-66 attached directly. Please
note that an RS422 adaptor is required for the workstation.
Possible Setups
Direct To ZVK Network
In this mode of operation, the keyboard must be configured to run on the ZVK network. The MAC address and
termination must be setup using the steps described below.
Connected Direct To Fusion
In this mode of operation the Fusion workstation should be supplied with an RS422 adaptor (in the form of a PCI card
or external module). The Fusion workstation is connected point to point with the keyboard and supplies all the settings
to the keyboard.
The keyboards MAC address is assigned in FusionEdit, and must match the MAC address of the port used on the
ZSC-250.
The only manual setup that may be required is the joystick calibration.
Note : In this mode of operation it is not possible for Fusion to connect to the PC2 port of the Site controller.

Network Setup
This is only required when the keyboard is connected directly to the ZVK network.
The ZVK-66 requires configuration of the following parameters before use:
•MAC address
•Termination
The Module Access code, or MAC is required to identify the ZVK-66 to its associated Fusion Workstation.
The baud rate is automatically detected. Valid rates are 9600, 19200 and 38400 bps.
Putting the Keyboard into configuration mode
This will only be required when the keyboard is connected directly to the ZVK network.
1. Power up the keyboard with the joystick button held down. The zoom and focus LEDs will light up and the iris
LED will indicate the toggling of the termination state.
2. The ZVK-66 will attempt to acquire a new MAC address. If no MAC is available, the keyboard will keep
searching until one becomes available.
3. Pressing the button on the joystick will toggle the termination setting (the state is displayed in Fusion).
4. When the settings are appropriate, follow the instructions from your Fusion Workstation
5. Cycle the power on the keyboard to complete the process.

Linking to a Workstation
It is possible to link a ZVK-66 keyboard directly to the Fusion GUI. The operator must log on to Fusion at Manager or
Engineer level then click on the Setup menu option, located at the top left of the screen, the operator must then select
the keyboard config option.
If communication to the ZVK-66 is successful, the display will update to show the current MAC address for the keyboard.
If you are happy to overwrite this with the Fusion setting, press the “Link Keyboard to Fusion” button. If you do not wish to
change anything, click on close.
Reading the Version Number
The version string of the keyboard is displayed in the Keyboard configuration dialog box. When directly connected to
Fusion, this version number will always be displayed. When connected via the ZVK network, the version number will
be displayed when the keyboard is in configuration mode.
This will open a new window that will display the currently configured MAC (machine access
code) address of the linked keyboard.
Now put the ZVK-66 into configuration mode.
•
Link Keyboard to Fusion
This will change the MAC of the keyboard to
match the MAC currently used by the Fusion
workstation,
Note this configuration screen must be displayed
before putting the keyboard into configuration mode.

Joystick Calibration
The joystick is a fully proportional type and, as such may require re-calibrating from time to time.
1) Press the “Calibrate local keyboard” button.
2) All the LEDs except the PTZ LED will go out. The PTZ LED will start flashing on the ZVK-66.
3) Move the joystick around all the extremes of the axis (left, right, up, down, clockwise and anti clockwise)
4) Press the button on the joystick to finish. The keyboard will stop responding for a moment whilst the values
are saved
5) Automatically returns to the previous mode of operation.
This will open a new window that will display the MAC (machine access code)
address and termination setting once they have been selected by the keyboard.
To put the keyboard into calibration mode, press the
“Calibrate local keyboard” button. This will calibrate the
keyboard that is currently linked to the Fusion workstation.
The “Force MAC” button is used to force MAC and
termination settings onto a keyboard.
The Keyboard Link section will become active as soon as
the keyboard is put into configuration.
Note this configuration screen must be displayed before
putting the keyboard into configuration mode.

Operation
The ZVK-66 keyboard is very simple to operate. The joystick is used to send telemetry to the camera that is currently
selected by the associated Fusion workstation.
•To zoom in and out, use the button on the top of the joystick to select zoom mode and then twist the top of the
joystick.
•To focus near and far, select the focus mode and use the twist axis.
•To manually control the iris of a camera, use Fusion to put the camera into manual iris mode and then press
the joystick button to select iris mode. The mode of the iris is logged centrally, so if the camera is already in
manual iris mode, the ZVK-66 will enable the user to control it.
