ADDER’s Command and Control switch with RS-232 for use with USB peripherals and audio

Posted on by Florante Ancheta

The CCS4USB switch is a new milestone in command and control switching that can deliver bi-directional audio, True Emulation technology and USB 2.0. This switch can be used with  DVI, DisplayPort, VGA and other formats, so it is video independent. It allows users to work with all four screens and computers as though they were a one interface.

The unique True Emulation technology engineered by Adder allows a reliable and instantaneous hotkey switching, and it also supports extra features and keys for enhanced mice and keyboards. The CCS4USB has two independently switchable Hi Speed USB 2.0 channels and audio channel which gives users  flexibility attaching selected peripherals to different computers.

Free Flow Technology

Automated switching for mouse, which works with CCS4USB allows users to switch between target computers automatically, simply by placing the mouse pointer from one screen onto another.

True Emulation USB 2.0 technology

The ADDER’s advanced True USB Emulation technology is featured for the first time by Command and Control CCS4USB switch. Emulated USB makes mouse and keyboard hotkey switching possible and provides reliable and instantaneous switching action. The previous implementations have only been able to support the basic mouse and keyboard features, by using only generic emulations. The True Emulation technology overcomes this limitation by simultaneously emulating the true character of the connected devices to all the computers. Now users can use the extra function keys, buttons, controls, and wheels that are commonly found an modern mice and keyboards.

Independent simultaneous device selection

One of the important keys of CCS4USB is flexibility. This switch allows to use mouse and keyboard on one computer, while USB peripherals are connected to other computers and speakers are connected to another. All the connected devices can be switched to any of the connected computers.

Channel selection options

The CCS4USB switch can be controlled by using 3 button mice, front panel controls or selectable keyboard hotkeys.RC4 remote switch can be used optionally to make selections. These switching options allow users to quickly reassign any connected device to any of the connected computers.

Broad USB 2.0 Hi Speed device support

Users can connect a wide range of the USB devices to the CCS4USB, such as printers, scanners and non standard human interface devices. With the flexibility this gives, users can be scanning documents onto one computer, while working at the other computer, and printing on another at the same time. To ensure a maximum reliability when connecting and disconnecting USB devices, the USB 2.0 switching action has been designed.

Options port for control and upgrade

An “Options” port allows the CCS4USB to be switched remotely by using ASCII codes. This port enables a four button RC4 switch unit to be used together with CCS4USB. This port can also be used for firmware upgrade.
