Adder ADDERView 4 PRO DisplayPort Video & Peripheral Switch

The ADDERView 4 PRO DisplayPort Video & Peripheral Switch from Adder enables users to control four DisplayPort-enabled computers from a single KVM console. This switch is DisplayPort 1.1 compliant and supports resolutions up to 2560 x 1920, as well as share USB peripherals between multiple sources, helping to provide increased flexibility for those who need to share high-res screens and USB devices. Using Adder's True Emulation technology, low- and full-speed USB HID devices can be continuously emulated to each other, supporting not only hotkey switching, but also the extra keys and features of enhanced keyboards and mice. Also supported are two independently switchable low-, full-, and high-speed USB 2.0 channels as well an audio channel, all of which provide users with the flexibility to attach a wide variety of peripherals to different computers.

The ADDERView 4 PRO is compatible with virtually all operating systems, including Windows, Mac, DOS, Linux, UNIX, BSD, Sun OS, NetWare, and more. It is well-suited for use in broadcast, medical, architecture, graphic design, post-production, and animation industries. Included is a 12.5W power adapter that operates using 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, a power cord, and four self-adhesive rubber feet.

General Features

DisplayPort Video Support

The AV4PRO-DP is DisplayPort 1.1 compliant (4 lanes at 2.7 Gb/s). DisplayPort can support high end monitors featuring a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate and 10-bits per color, a 1920 x 1200 resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Full HD monitors at a 1920 x 1080 resolution with 60 Hz refresh rate at 12-bits per color without latency, all over standard cables.

USB 2.0 True Emulation Technology

The AV4PRO-DP features Adder's USB True Emulation technology. Emulated USB provides an instantaneous and 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-DP helps make all this possible.

Independent Simultaneous Device Selection

Flexibility is key, and this 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 AV4PRO-DP 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 AV4PRO-DP. From non-standard human interface devices to printers and scanners, this gives great flexibility. For example, you could be scanning a set of documents onto one computer while working on another and printing from yet another, all at the same time. The USB 2.0 switching action has been carefully engineered to help ensure maximum computer reliability when connecting and disconnecting USB devices.

Options Port for Control, Synchronization, and Upgrade

An 'Options' port enables the AV4PRO-DP to be remotely switched using a 4-button switch unit (RC4). By linking 'Options' ports, two or more units can be switched in synchrony to create a multi-video head switching system. The same port can also be used to upgrade the firmware.
