The Pelco KBD300A is a full-function desktop keyboard controller for use with Pelco switchers or for direct camera control and features a built-in joystick for smooth and quick operation. The keyboard controls all major camera functions including pan/tilt, zoom, manual focus, open/close iris, start/stop, frame and random scanning.

When attached to a switcher, the keyboard also controls monitors and any auxiliary devices plugged into the camera. Depending on a particular switcher in use, up to sixteen keyboards can be attached to a single switcher.

The keyboard also supports a direct mode where up to 16 cameras can be attached directly to the camera without needing to go through a switcher.
