Keyboard/Mouse CCS-PRO8 combined with a shared screen

    I'm looking to use CCS-PRO8 as follows:
    - 8 computers sharing 1x keyboard/mouse connected to CCS-PRO8.
    - 4 of the 8 computers have their dedicated screens
    - the other 4 computers need to share one screen, so that when switching to anyone of these 4 computers via CCS-PRO8, it gets controlled via the keyboard/mouse connected to CCS-PRO8, and its video shows up on the shared screen.

    Can you offer the Adder hardware required in order to support this?

    Hello Dawit,

    Thank you for reaching out on our HelpCenter.

    Please have a look at anyone of the 4-port AdderView PRO (you should select the one that works for you based on the type of video connection your computers and shared monitor have).

    Connect the 'User Console' USB keyboard port of the AdderView PRO to port #5 of your CCS-PRO8.
    Connect the video from the 4 computers that need to share a monitor to ports 1-4 on the AdderView PRO.
    Connect the shared monitor to the 'User Console' video port.

    Switching to anyone of the computers that are sharing a monitor will be a two-step process:
    a) Switch to port #5 on CCS-PRO8.
    b) Switch to anyone of the 4 computers that have their video connected to AdderView PRO.

    Please be aware that we are not sure whether 'Free-Flow' on your CCS-PRO8 will work in this configuration or not, since it hasn't been tested (neither by us nor by Adder).

    Hope this helps!
