Multiple video head connections
Two or more AdderView CATx 1000 units can 
be connected together so that they operate in 
a synchronised manner. Synchronised operation 
is useful for applications that require multiple 
video signals to be switched together. This type of 
operation is usually required where each computer 
is fitted with multiple video cards or video cards 
with multiple video heads. Whenever a AdderView 
CATx 1000 channel is switched, it sends an RS232 
command out on the serial interface (marked 
OPTIONS
 on the 
rear panel). An AdderView CATx 1000 will switch its channel if it 
receives the same command on the serial interface. Consequently, 
by linking the serial interfaces, a master unit may be made to 
automatically switch one or more slave units as shown in the diagram.
It should be noted that the synchronisation cable deliberately does not have 
the transmit pin of the Slave End connector linked to the receive pin of 
the Master End connector. To do so would cause the Slave unit to be able 
to switch the Master unit. This would setup an endless cyclical switching 
sequence that would prevent the AdderView CATx 1000 devices from 
operating correctly. For more details about the serial synchronisation cables,

Notes 
It is recommended that the 
second CAM in each pair is a 
USB-type and that it is plugged 
to a vacant USB port on the host 
computer to derive its power.
Pairs of CAMs can be strapped 
back-to-back with cable ties to 
create a tidy installation.
