3.8Synchronising AdderView DVIs for multiple video head applications

Multiple AdderViews may 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. Such configurations are typically required in banking and engineering applications where greater video 'real estate' is required. Whenever the AdderView's channel is switched it sends an RS232 command out on its serial interface. The AdderView switches its channel if it receives the same command on its serial interface. Consequently, by linking the serial interfaces a master unit may be made to automatically switch a daisy chain of slaved units as shown in the diagram below. The slave units will require the optional power adapters because they cannot draw their power from the video link alone.
