Dual user configuration

®

You can combine two Wizard SRX extender sets to create a dual user configuration. Such an installation would allow a single computer to be controlled from two different positions, with each position receiving the same audio visual output and having equal and concurrent control over the computer. Arbitration between the two positions is handled by the computer’s USB system and so this arrangement is better suited to situations where two users would not often require simultaneous access.

Most of the connections are similar to the standard configuration. The main

difference is in the links to the second local module. Use an audio link lead to connect the audio out socket of the first local module to the audio in socket of the second. Similarly, use a video link lead to connect the video out and video in ports. The second local module then requires its own USB link directly to the computer. In all other respects follow the standard instructions to connect CATx links and all of the remote module connections.
