Automatic switching between systems
When used with Synchrony software, the Adder TS4 allows automatic 
switching between the connected systems and screens. The switching 
between the systems is determined primarily by the position of the 
mouse cursor. As the cursor exceeds the periphery of one screen, 
control is seamlessly switched to the next screen/system. 
This operation 
requires all of the 
systems to run the 
Synchrony utility 
and one of them 
to be designated 
as the ‘primary’. 
Additionally, a  
serial link is required 
between the 
primary system and 
the Adder TS4.

Welcome
Introduction
The Adder TS4 is a robust keyboard and mouse switch created 
specifically for trading floors and control rooms, where information 
must be controlled across numerous systems and screens. The 
TS4 allows a single keyboard and mouse to fulfil the function that 
previously required four separate sets. This provides immediate savings 
in both desk space and also the time required to access information 
spread across up to four systems and screens.
Switching between the systems connected to the Adder TS4 can be 
achieved in five different ways:
•  The Adder TS4 unit SELECT button
•  The optional RC4 Remote control selector
•  Keyboard hotkey combinations
•  Mouse button combinations
•  Automatic switching using the Synchrony utility (see below)       
Single keyboard and mouse are common to all 
of the systems and are electronically connected 
to the required one using any of four switching 
methods. Switching can be initiated from either 
the keyboard or mouse in addition to the TS4 
unit or optional remote control.

The display 
clearly shows 
which system 
is currently 
connected to the 
keyboard and 
mouse.
The keyboard and mouse are 
electronically linked through to 
the currently selected system. 
The video displays are connected directly to their respective 
systems as usual. The keyboard and mouse ports of each 
system, however, are connected to the TS4 unit.
