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.
