Two.or.more.AdderView.CATxIP.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.an.AdderView.CATxIP.1000.channel.is.switched,.it.sends.
an.RS232.command.out.on.its.serial.interface.(marked.OPTIONS.on.
the.rear.panel)..An.AdderView.CATxIP.1000.will.switch.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.one.or.more.slave.units.as.shown.in.the.diagram.
Note: You must ensure that all AdderView CATxIP 1000.units have their Options serial
ports set to ‘Sync Units’ and that their baud rates are identical. These settings can be made
either via the local or global user configuration menus.
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.CATxIP.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...
