General description of the UNIVIEW KB-1100 PTZ control device

A schematic representation of the UNIVIEW KB-1100 PTZ control device is shown in the figure below.

The following physical controls are available on the device:

Joystick is a rotary control moving along three axes:

  • Pan axis (panning: left or right deviation).
  • Tilt axis (tilt: up or down deviation).
  • Zoom axis (scaling: clockwise or counterclockwise deviation).

Acceleration along each of the three axes depends on the degree of deviation from the center. The movement is carried out until release. When released, the control returns to its original position.

Jog-Wheel (not integrated into the Axxon PSIM software package!) is a rotary control rotating only around its axis. When released, the control returns to its original position. In the illustration it is located at the bottom left (outer ring).

Shuttle is a rotary control rotating only around its axis. Allows the intermittent movement in one of two directions. It has no initial position; when released, it remains in place. In the illustration it is located at the bottom left (inner ring).

Button is a push control element that can represent two states. Allows the call of one of two functions (the function for pressing and the function for releasing). When released, it returns to its original position (“not pressed” state).

Of all the push-button controls of the remote control, the following blocks are integrated:

  • a block of playback control keys (6 keys on the left: the record button is triggered after pressing a button on the joystick);
  • block of keys for control of focus, zoom, aperture and PTZ presets (8 keys);

The following keys to manipulate the device interface are also available (not related to Axxon PSIM):

  • Pressing the button on the remote control joystick (OK) (equivalent to pressing the ENTER key).
  • Cancel the action / return one step back in the remote control menu (equivalent to pressing the ESC key).
  • Numbers / letters are entered from the numeric keyboard, the mode (upper/lower register, digits) is switched by the SHIFT key.
  • Moving through the menu items and within the fields is carried out by deviating the remote control vertically / horizontally.

Configuring the PTZ control device before adding it to Axxon PSIM

Before creating the corresponding object in Axxon PSIM software package, configure the UNIVIEW KB-1100 PTZ control device as follows:

  1. Switch on the control device.
  2. Enter username and password in the device display. The default credentials are as follows:
    1. login: admin
    2. password: 123456
  3. Configure the device network configuration. To do this, in the Local Cfg -> Net Cfg menu, set the following settings:
    1. IP address
    2. Mask
    3. Gateway
  4. Add Axxon PSIM Server/Client to the internal configuration of the device. To do this, in the Dev Manage -> Manual Cfg -> Add Dev menu, set the following settings:
    1. ID – enter any number (range: 1-240, the number must not coincide with the ID of the remote control or other already added device).
    2. name – enter a string (1-8 characters).
    3. DType – select VM (VideoManagementSystem, i.e. Axxon PSIM).
    4. LType – select NetWork (the device is integrated for connecting to Axxon PSIM via the network).
    5. After selecting LType, press the button on the joystick and enter the IP address of the Axxon PSIM Server/Client and the port used (60000 by default).
  5. Connect to the Axxon PSIM Server/Client added in the previous step. To do this, enter the above ID in the FindDev -> Dev ID menu or select the found profile in the Dev Manage -> Search Dev menu.
  6. If the device is found, information about it will be displayed on the device display.
  7. Press on the ID field. As a result, it will be possible to work with the control device in Axxon PSIM.

Setting up the UNIVIEW KB-1100 control device is completed.

Configuring the remote control in Axxon PSIM

To configure the connection of the UNIVIEW KB-1100 PTZ control device to the Axxon PSIM software package, proceed as follows:

  1. Create the Control device object under the Computer object on the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog window (1).
  2. Select Uniview-joystick from the Vendor dropdown list  (2).
  3. Select KB-1100 from the Model drop-down list (3).
  4. Select auto from the Firmware drop-down list (4).
  5. In the Address field, enter the IP address of the control device (5).
  6. In the Port field, enter the port number specified in step 4e of the device configuration (6).
  7. Click the Apply button (7).

Configuring the connection of the UNIVIEW KB-1100 PTZ control panel to the Axxon PSIM software package is now complete.
