K20 is a PTZ keyboard for multi-camera setups and professional production. As well as the network, it connects to cameras over RS-232 and RS-422, and one unit controls up to 7. With the joystick, knobs and keys under your hand, it is far quicker than a remote or a computer.
014D joystick
Push to turn, twist to zoom.
The joystick pans and tilts; twisting its head zooms in and out; a button on top confirms. A separate zoom rocker is also provided.
02Network and serial
Connects to new cameras and older ones.
It supports VISCA, VISCA over IP, Pelco-D, Pelco-P and ONVIF, over the network or over RS-232 and RS-422.
0341 keys + 4 knobs
Exposure, white balance and focus without opening a menu.
The picture settings you use most have their own keys and knobs, so you can adjust them during a live broadcast. An LCD shows which camera is selected and its status.
04One keyboard, 7 cameras
One person can run a multi-camera shoot.
Up to 7 cameras can be controlled and switched directly from the keys. PoE powers it over the network cable, and setup is done on the unit or in a web page.
05A real example
Three cameras in a sports hall, one operator.
The sports hall at Beichen Elementary School uses three P30i cameras, one NSR-400 and one K20: the cameras cover the stage close-up, the wide shot and the audience, and the operator switches between them from a single K20.
