Adder ADDERView 4 PRO Dual-Link DVI-I Video & Peripheral Switch (One Video Head)

Designed with the ability to support one video head per channel, the ADDERView 4 PRO Dual Link DVI-I Video & Peripheral Switch from Adder allows users to control up to four computer systems and share peripherals between them using a single display, keyboard, and mouse. Dual-Link DVI-I support enables both digital and analog display compatibility at resolutions including 2560 x 1600 for medical imaging, 2048 x 1080 for 2K film post-production, or a maximum of 2560 x 1920.

In addition to straight switching, the KVM, speakers, and two separate USB devices attached to AV4PRO-DVI units can either be switched in unison, as normal, or you can mix your peripherals between any of the systems to suit your current tasks. For example, you could be creating emails on one system, listening to a soundtrack from another, sending documents to a printer from a third, and performing a separate task with another USB peripheral on the fourth. The front panel on the AV4PRO-DVI helps make it easy to identify and control which peripherals should connect to each system. Additionally, USB True Emulation technology helps ensure the full characteristics of the connected keyboard and mouse are fully utilized on each system, including extra function keys, wheels, buttons, and controls that are commonly found on modern keyboards and mice.

The ADDERView 4 PRO Dual Link DVI-I Video & Peripheral Switch is well-suited for those working in architecture, graphic design, post-production, animation, banking, command & control, medical, and audio/visual industries. Supported operating systems include Windows, Mac, DOS, Linux, UNIX, BSD, Sun, NetWare, and more. Included is a 12.5W power adapter, a power cord, and four self-adhesive rubber feet.

General Features

Dual-Link DVI-I with Extended Profile DDC EDID

The AdderView 4 PRO features full Dual Link DVI-I video, delivering resolutions at 60 Hz. As the AdderView features DVI-I, you can also use a choice of digital or analog sources. The extended DDC EDID profile helps ensure that the switched graphics card is optimized to work with your screen, and the Dual-Link DVI-I capabilities further enable users to work at resolutions including 2K (2048 x 1080) for film post-production or WQXGA (2560 x 1600) for detailed medical imaging.

True Emulation USB 2.0 Technology

The AV4PRO-DVI features Adder's USB True Emulation technology. Emulated USB provides a rapid, reliable switching action and makes keyboard-hotkey and mouse switching possible. It also allows the use of extra function keys, wheels, buttons, and controls that are commonly found on modern keyboards and mice. Users in architecture, graphic design, post-production, animation, and more often need to use specialized interface devices, such as graphics tablets, 3D explorers, joysticks, and so on. The AV4PRO-DVI makes all this possible using Adder's True Emulation technology.

Independent Simultaneous Device Selection

Flexibility is key to the AdderView 4 PRO. The switch enables you to use the KVMA console to work on one computer whilst your USB peripherals are connected to other computers and your speakers are playing music from yet another. You can, of course, still switch all connected devices to any one of the connected computers as with any other KVM switch.

Channel Selection Options

The AdderView 4 PRO can be switched using selectable keyboard hotkeys, 3-button mice, or the front panel controls. Optionally, you can also use the RC4 remote switch to make your selection. These switching options allow you to reassign connected devices to any of the connected computers.

Broad USB 2.0 High Speed Device Support

A vast range of USB devices can be connected to the AdderView. From non-standard human interface devices to printers and scanners, this presents great flexibility. For example, you could be scanning a set of documents onto one computer whilst working on another and printing from yet another, all at the same time. The USB 2.0 switching action has been carefully engineered to ensure computer reliability when connecting and disconnecting USB devices.

Options Port for Control, Synchronization, and Upgrades

An 'Options' port enables the AV4PRO-DVI to be remotely switched using simple ASCII codes. When the channel is switched, the same ASCII codes are echoed to the 'Options' port and so, by linking 'Options' ports, two or more units can be switched in synchrony. The port enables a 4-button switch unit (RC4) to be used with the AdderView PRO. The same port can also be used to upgrade the firmware.

USB Remote Wakeup

USB Remote Wakeup feature is fully supported. Any connected computer can go into sleep mode and be awakened (when its channel is selected) as soon as you press a key or move the mouse. The computer and peripherals must support the USB Remote Wakeup feature.
