FEATURES
Dual link DVI-I with extended profile
DDC EDID
The AdderView Pro features full dual link DVI
video delivering 4 megapixel resolutions at
60Hz. Because the AdderView features DVI-I,
you can also use a choice of digital or analogue
sources. The extended DDC EDID profile
ensures that the switched graphics card is
always optimised to work with your screen. The
dual link DVI capabilities enable users to work
at very high resolutions including 2K (2048 x
1080) for film post production or WQXGA
(2560 x 1600) for detailed medical imaging.

True Emulation USB2.0 technology
The AV4PRO-DVI belongs the first KVMA
range of switches to feature Adder’s advanced
True USB Emulation technology. Emulated
USB provides an instantaneous and reliable
switching action and makes keyboard hotkey
and mouse switching possible. However,
previous implementations have used only
generic emulations and consequently have only
been able to support the most basic keyboard
and mouse features. Adder’s revolutionary
True Emulation technology overcomes this
frustrating limitation by emulating the true
character of the connected devices to all the
computers simultaneously. This means that you
can now use the extra function keys, wheels,
buttons and controls that are commonly found
on modern keyboards and mice.

Channel selection options
The AdderView 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
rapidly reasign connected devices to any of the
connected computers.

Broad USB 2.0 Hi 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 gives 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.

Options port for control, synchronisation
and upgrade
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 to create a multi
video head switching system. 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 to guarantee
that your hardware investment continues to
deliver real value well into the future.
