A user can accomplish complex tasks with the intuitive, highly customizable user-interface. By integrating smart card technology, ControlCenter keyboards become truly unique workstations for each and every user. The large backlit LCD provides a menu-driven interface that allows users to quickly naavigate through all system functions. These functions include the 64 macro keys arranged with eight macros to a screen. Each operator can customize his or her own keyboard to perform a multitude of system tasks via simple, easy to remember keystrokes. The user can customize each macro key with an icon or name from the library of 250 unique identifiers. These keys can denote any camera view, camera location, and/or system function. In addition, each of the eight screens can be given a user-defined macro family name so that macros can be logically organized into groups.
