Newly upgraded Bolin’s KBD-1020N NDI PTZ Controller is ergonomically designed to make critical PTZ camera functions easy to find and use. Details like dedicated knobs for PTZ variable speed control and for fine control over iris/shutter, red and blue adjustment, and focus, with auto/manual toggle. It has illuminated push buttons for camera selection and a three-axis joystick for smooth, precise camera movements.

The KBD-1020N is a universal NDI PTZ controller capable of camera discovery and transmitting serial and IP network control commands including  serial Pelco P/D and VISCA as well as IP control protocols like  VISCA over IP, ONVIF and NDI simultaneously within the same network.

The power, flexibility, and intuitive, precise camera controls of the KBD-1020N make it an ideal partner for multiple PTZ camera setups in live NDI production environments such as broadcast studios, education and video conferencing spaces, concerts, and Houses of Worship.

Keyboard and Camera Configuration Data Transferable via Software
Use IP software tool to modify and organize controller’s configuration, export/import existing PTZ camera registration data via IP network makes KBD-1020N controller configuration a breeze when you have multiple controllers to work in one system.

Image Parameter Control
Via Visca protocol, either serial Visca or Visca Over IP, the KBD-1020N has image color and exposure related settings - including black levels, white balance, auto/manual exposure level, iris, gain and shutter speed - can be adjusted directly without using the camera menus.

Web Interface and Software Configuration
KBD-1020N supports configuration import and export for multiple controller program duplication. Also use software configuration tool for keyboard programming upload. 

Quick, Simple, Direct IP PTZ Camera Assignment and Use
IP control, without using PC, automatically search available IP cameras in the network. Assign IP addresses and IP camera registration easily.

Other than 12VDC power input, PoE(IEEE802.3at) supported for network control application. Even when use serial control, power can be provided over serial control cable to keep the keyboard back panel wire connection clean for moving the controller around.

Store and Recall Camera Presets
Camera presets with position, zoom and image parameter settings can be stored and recalled instantly via the numeric keypad.

Wide Range Power Voltage Tolerance 6V – 48V
It provides longer distance power run, and it is suitable for vehicle or moving platform use, such as broadcast vehicle, mobile equipment cart, etc.

Switch Video Router
Camera and Monitor Switching via Video Router. KBD-1020N is compatible with Black Magic SDI video router, to switch cameras and monitors via the router with PTZ camera control switching simultaneously. More supported compatible video routers will be added.

Always Up To Date
Firmware upgrade via USB/IP to keep the performance of the controller up to date.

Allows different Brands Camera Visca Over IP Control in One System
Visca Over IP port used with the camera is different from different camera makers, KBD-1020N allows you to use any brand of Visca Over IP cameras in a same system together with no conflicts.
