Section 4
External Keyboard / KVM Switch
There is an inbuilt USB trackball included in the C200 system. Three additional USB connectors are available to allow
connection of a computer keyboard. One connector is located in the monitor section penthouse panel, the two others are
on the monitor section belly panel – see diagram opposite.
The C200 console contains additional hardware that allows its trackball to be used to control an external workstation and
the console monitor may be used to display the workstation's video output.
The switches to control the keyboard and video selection are located in the panel directly below the monitor section's
LCD screen.The switches may be operated individually or can be electronically linked – by pressing both down together
– to simplify operation.
Note. On consoles with the 'Mobile' centre section, the reduced space means that the switching hardware is not included;
only the electronic circuit for latching two external (SP momentary) switches is provided.The output signal from this circuit
then may be used to operate an external video switcher as required. See page 56 for the appropriate connector pinout.
Script Tray (option)
The script tray is a movable transparent panel which fits over a channel bay. It has rollers fitted to allow it to move along
the length of the desk.
The script tray does not require modifications to the console and can be added to existing consoles.
Loudspeaker Shelf (option)
A flat secure shelf is available for the positioning of loudspeakers, monitors etc. Each shelf is 400mm wide by 253mm deep.
A supporting rail is fixed to the console back panel for each speaker shelf. Additional support rails can be fitted so that
shelves may be moved to different positions along the console.
TFT External Input (option)
This option allows any of the channel bay TFT screens to be switched to show an external XGA (1024x768) video signal.
The switchover may be effected either by a GPI closure triggered from a free button or by a dedicated switch which can
be mounted on a custom panel.
