Network PTZ controller for multi-camera productions
The AVMATRIX PKC2000 is a network keyboard controller built for operators who manage many PTZ cameras from a single desk. It connects to compatible cameras using IP or serial links and supports VISCA, VISCA IP, Pelco-P, Pelco-D and ONVIF protocols. The unit is aimed at broadcast, house-of-worship and corporate AV teams that need reliable, centralised camera control.
Sustained operation across IP and serial links
The controller maintains two independent IP channels and two serial channels (RS-232/422/485) simultaneously, so camera feeds stay responsive during long sessions. Its 4D joystick delivers infinitely variable speed control for pan, tilt, zoom and focus without stepwise jumps, allowing smooth moves that hold their pace for the full duration of an event. Protocol handling remains stable across all 255 addressable cameras.
Replaces standalone joysticks and software panels
This hardware replaces separate serial joysticks and software-only control panels that cannot mix IP and serial cameras in one workflow. The jump is worth it when a production grows beyond a handful of cameras and needs a single tactile surface that addresses up to 255 units over mixed networks. Operators who only ever drive one or two cameras over a single protocol will not need this density.

Questions about this item
How much power does the PKC2000 draw when it runs continuously in a studio?
The controller operates over standard network and serial links without a high-wattage supply, so its continuous draw stays low and adds little heat to a rack.
What cables and network gear must I already have to connect the PKC2000 to my cameras?
You need Ethernet cabling for the two IP ports and RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 cables for the two serial ports, plus a switch or router that can reach every camera on the same LAN.
Will the PKC2000 control older PTZ cameras that only speak Pelco-D or Pelco-P?
Yes, the unit supports both Pelco-D and Pelco-P alongside VISCA and ONVIF, so legacy cameras using those protocols can be addressed directly.
