Welcome
This quick start guide covers some of the key points of the ADDERView CCS-
MV4228. Please read the supplied safety instruction leaflet before use.
The ADDERView CCS-MV multi-viewer switch allows you to work simultaneously
across eight computers while viewing all of their screen outputs combined onto
either one or two high-resolution video displays. As you press a front panel
or move your mouse between screen outputs, your common peripherals will switch
to control the appropriate computer.
-

Display screen
Provides status information related to the current operations.
The ADDERView CCS-MV multiviewer switch can operate with either a single or
dual video screen setup and you can configure exactly how the outputs of the
eight computers are distributed on them.
The video links to each computer,as well as the two video displays,are via
ports that accept either
DisplayPort™ or HDMI® connections.
The ADDERView CCS-MV supports both standard and Super Speed USB (version 3.0)
connections.
Connections
Note: Ensure that all peripherals and computers are switched OFF prior to connecting them to the product.
Note: Units are shipped with a blanking plug inserted into each combined video port, leaving only the HDMI connections open. If you need to use DisplayPort connections, simply remove the blanking plugs from the required ports.
Operation
Connect all peripherals and computers to the ADDERView CCS-MV unit. Ensure that the video display(s) are switched on before powering on the ADDERView CCS-MV.
Switching between computers
You can switch your common peripherals (keyboard, mouse, microphone and
speakers) between the connected computers in two ways:
- Press the front panel button (1 to 8) for the required computer.
- Use the Free-Flow feature to automatically switch between computers as your mouse crosses a boundary from one video screen to another.
Audio Hold
The Audio Hold button prevents switching the audio port when changing the
other console peripherals (keyboard, mouse, video) to another computer
channel. This function is useful when you need to listen to the audio from one
computer while working on another.
Using the front panel computer channel buttons, first connect the console
peripherals to the computer from where the audio feed is required. Press the
Audio Hold button on the front panel. Then press the channel button for the
computer that is required for the other peripherals. The audio association
will be signalled by the right indicator on each channel’s front panel push
button.
To release the audio from hold status, press the Audio Hold button again.
USB Hold
The USB Hold button prevents switching the Hi-Speed USB port when changing the
other console peripherals (keyboard, mouse, video, audio) to another computer
channel. This button functions in the same manner as the Audio Hold button
described above.
Status display
The status display shows which channel numbers are currently selected to
provide the video, audio and USB connections.
The padlock symbols indicate that either Audio or USB Hold buttons are active.
Power on self-test
When the ADDERView CCS-MV unit powers up it performs a self-test procedure. If
the self-test fails for any reason, including a jammed button, the unit will
become inoperable. The front panel indicators will show an abnormal display.
Contact technical support and avoid using the product.
