Extenders, desk switches and IP KVM matrices, from one pair of boxes to a building. Varto quotes Adder hardware on its own and commissions the systems built from it.

// where the computer sits

Extend a workstation, switch computers, or connect multiple desks.

Three different purchases, told apart by where the computers end up and how many desks have to reach them.

1 : 1

Extension

The machine moves into a rack and its screen, keyboard, mouse and USB come back to the desk. A transmitter, a receiver and the cable between them.

range ADDERLink XD and X-DVI PRO
reach up to 150 m on CATx, 4 km on fiber by model

The extenders ↓

up to 16 : 1

Switching

The machines stay under the desk or in a nearby rack. One switch puts a single keyboard, screen and mouse in front of all of them.

range ADDERView PRO, CCS-PRO, ADDERView Secure
link a local switch, no network involved

any : any

KVM over IP matrix

Every machine gets a transmitter and every position a receiver, so any desk reaches any machine. ADDERLink INFINITY is the managed top tier, with sharing and logging through the A.I.M. appliance.

range ADDERLink INFINITY, ADDERView Matrix, XDIP
link a network you provision, sized for the endpoints

The matrix tiers ↓

An ADDERLink INFINITY pair also works point to point, so a matrix can start as two boxes and grow without being replaced. Reach, capacity and the network an endpoint needs vary by model.

// extension

One machine, one desk, as far as the cable goes.

Four things decide it: how far, how many screens, how much resolution, and what the desk has to plug in. USB is usually the deciding column. True Emulation keeps a keyboard and mouse permanently presented to every machine, so switching feels instant; HID only limits that to keyboard and mouse class; Transparent USB 2.0 is a full high speed path. A graphics tablet, a USB audio interface, a license dongle, a card reader, a webcam or a thumb drive all want more than HID.

SFP modules and rack kits are separate order codes and the right kit depends on the model. The older VGA and DVI families are still in the Adder range and are a straightforward way to match an existing room.

// switching

One desk, several machines.

The choice turns on whether the screens move with the keyboard, and on whether the desk has to touch a segregated network.

kvm

ADDERView 4 PRO

Four computers behind one screen, keyboard and mouse. DisplayPort, DVI and VGA models, with dual, triple and quad screen variants on DVI and VGA.

CCS-PRO4 and CCS-PRO8

Every machine keeps its own monitor. Only the keyboard and mouse move between them, with copy and paste across machines.

secure

ADDERView Secure

A separate line for segregated networks, with its own certifications. Adder states the current AVS models are NIAP PP 4.0 certified.

Multi viewer switches

The CCS-MV range composes several sources onto one screen with control over all of them, for a desk that has to watch everything at once rather than switch between machines. Adder gives the CCS-MV 4224 and 4228 a UHD output at 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, so match the refresh rate to what the operator is actually watching.

// kvm over ip

Any desk, any machine, across a network.

Adder builds its IP KVM matrix range in three tiers. They differ by resolution and by screens per position, and most of all by whether the system is managed.

adderlink infinity · the managed tier, one endpoint per machine or desk

adderview matrix · ships with its own preconfigured switches

adderlink xdip · the entry tier, over ordinary gigabit ethernet

Tier	Screens per position	Sources per position	Managed	Resolution
ADDERLink INFINITY	1 or 2 by model	Adder states unlimited sources	Managed, through the A.I.M. appliance	HD, QHD, UHD and 5K by model
ADDERView Matrix	1	Up to 16	Unmanaged	HD and QHD
ADDERLink XDIP	1	Up to 16	Unmanaged	HD

A manager, on the top tier

A.I.M. is what turns ADDERLink INFINITY endpoints into an any to any matrix with user control, sharing and logging. Adder states it is not mandatory, because the same endpoints run point to point without it. The appliance ships licensed for 24 endpoints, with tiers at 48, 96, 192, 288 and unlimited, and a redundant primary and failover pair is licensed as a pair.

A network that suits it

Ports differ by model: the ALIF4001 has two SFP+ cages, the ALIF4021 adds two copper ports, and 10/100 is not supported either way. An SFP cage is not the same as fiber. Adder puts desktop and single screen work at 1 to 2.5 GbE and dual screen video editing at 5 GbE and above, so a plain gigabit switch will not deliver every advertised mode. We validate the proposed network against the endpoints and the workload before anything is ordered, and the ADDERView Matrix range avoids the question by shipping its own switches preconfigured.

On the managed tier the number of sources you can run is set by the endpoint license count you buy, not by the hardware. Adder rates the ADDERView Matrix user station for graphics tablets and card readers, so the matrix tier is not automatically the USB limit, and its sub one second figure is how long a source change takes rather than how far behind real time the picture runs.

Integration

Racked, cabled and commissioned. When the project allows, we rack, cable and run the system in our building before it ships, so problems can be found on our floor rather than in your room.
