Introduction

WELCOME

Thank you for choosing the AdderView DDX system. This adaptive system makes sharing numerous host computers among multiple users straightforward and flexible. Every computer is linked, via its USB and video ports, to a compact DDX-CAM module while each set of peripherals are connected to a DDX-USR module (to form Consoles).

The various computers and consoles are then linked, via CAT6a or CAT7 cable with S/FTP, S/STP or PiMF shielding (see Appendix 1 for details), to a central DDX switch. Each user can then, subject to the privileges granted by the admin, gain quick access to any of the required computers.

An integral part of DDX switches is the DDX Matrix, a browser-based configuration and management tool that allows one or more remote admin user(s) to monitor and maintain all aspects of operation.

If required, computers and consoles can be individually connected in order to take advantage of the DDX extender properties without the switching.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure you are using shielded cables.

Cable type and distance rules

• Cable screening/shielding is required. The best cable shielding specifications for use with the DDX system are: S/FTP, S/STP or PiMF.
• Extension distances up to 50m are supported with single uninterrupted runs of recommended cable (shielded CAT6a or CAT7 cable).
• CAT5 or CAT5e cables must NOT be used with this product.
• Overall cable runs must be reduced by 5m for each additional cable coupling.
• All patch cables should be as short as possible and should be no longer than 2m.
• It is recommended that Adder shielded CAT7 cables are used for maximum performance.

Access permissions

The DDX switch uses a system of hierarchical Access permissions to mediate between numerous consoles and multiple computers. Each console is granted the use of up to four types of access permissions to each computer, most of which influence how other users can gain simultaneous access to the same computer. The four access permissions, and their effects on other console users are as follows:

VIEW ONLY

The console user can view the chosen computer's output but cannot control it.

Once selected, other consoles can simultaneously use VIEW ONLY, SHARED ACCESS or EXCLUSIVE

for the same computer.

SHARED ACCESS

The console user can view and control the chosen computer's output.

Once selected, other consoles can simultaneously use VIEW ONLY or SHARED ACCESS for the same computer.

EXCLUSIVE

The console user can view and control the chosen computer's output.

Once selected, other consoles can simultaneously use VIEW ONLY for the same computer.

PRIVATE

The console user can view and control the chosen computer's output.

Once selected, all other consoles are completely locked out from the same computer.

Port designations - DDX10

By default the DDX10 switch provides 8 computer ports (1 to 8) and 2 user console ports (9 to 10), all on its rear panel, however, these designations are not fixed. If your installation requires a greater number of consoles, you can alter the allocation of these standard ports to suit:

Port designations - DDX30

By default the DDX30 switch provides 10 user console ports on its front panel and 20 computer ports along its rear panel, however, these designations are not fixed. If your installation requires a greater number of computers or has a need for more user consoles, you can alter the allocation of these standard ports to suit:

Installation

LOCATIONS

Please consider the following important points when planning the position of the AdderView DDX modules:

• If used, position the DDX switch in a central position that serves the host computer systems and user modules without exceeding the maximum link lengths. It will also require a source of mains power.
• Situate each DDX-USR module close to the peripherals to which it will be connected and near to a source of mains power.
• Consult the precautions listed within the Safety information section.

CONNECTIONS

Connections do not need to be carried out in the order given within this guide, however, where possible connect the power in as a final step. Connections are split into the following three areas:

• Computer connections - a DDX-CAM module links to each host computer.
- Switch connections - when used, a DDX switch unit sits at the heart of the system.
- Console connections - the peripherals (keyboard, display, etc.) connect to DDX-USR modules.

Computer connections: Video

Three types of DDX-CAM modules are available:

DVI-D and USB or DisplayPort and USB or VGA and USB.

If a computer has more than one video output, use additional DDX-CAM modules to separately link the additional video stream(s) with other ports on the DDX switch.

To connect the video port

Computer connections: USB

Each DDX-CAM module requires a single USB connection to the computer. This provides essential power for the DDX-CAM module in addition to the USB signals. Each DDX-USR module acts as a USB 2.0 hub and thus provides four sockets for peripherals.

To connect the USB port

Connect the USB cable of the DDX-CAM module to a vacant USB socket on your host computer.

Computer connections: Data link

Each DDX-CAM module is linked via a shielded (S/FTP or S/STP) CAT6a or CAT7 cable either to a central DDX switch module or directly to a DDX-USR module (for a single system installation).

Maximum link cable lengths:

• DDX-CAM to DDX switch - 10 metres (32 feet) maximum.
• DDX-CAM to DDX-USR module - 50 metres (164 feet) maximum.

To link the DDX-CAM module

I Connect the RJ-45 plug of the link cable to the socket located at the end of the DDX-CAM module.

Switch (DDX10) connections: Computer links

IMPORTANT: Always ensure you are using shielded cables.

These are NOT Ethernet/network ports and must NEVER be connected to any networking equipment.

Switch connections: Network link

All system configuration is carried out via an Ethernet link, allowing adjustments to be made by authorized admin users located next to the DDX unit, or anywhere. The autosensing network port can determine between 10, 100Mbps or 1Gbps links and can also adjust to straight or cross-over cables.

To connect a network link

I Connect the CATx cable from an Ethernet switch or from a local computer.

From a network switch or nearby computer

Switch connections: Options port

The options port is reserved for future use.

Switch connections: Power

Each DDX switch is supplied with a single power adapter but offers the facility to use a second input in order to provide operational redundancy. The DDX unit can operate perfectly well from a single power adapter operating alone. When two adapters are connected, the unit will spread its load between them; should one power input fail, 100% of the load will be transferred to the other power adapter without a break in operation. Remote checking of the power inputs is possible at any time via the browser interface - see Maintenance > Diagnostics for details.

There is no on/off switch on the DDX unit, so operation begins as soon as power is applied at either port.

To connect the power adapter

1 Attach the output plug of the supplied power adapter to either power input socket on the left side of the rear panel.

2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specific power cord to the socket of the power adapter.

3 Connect the power cord to a nearby main supply socket.
4 Where power redundancy is required, repeat steps 1 to 3 for a second power adapter.

To disconnect the power adapter

I Isolate the power adapter from the mains supply.

Note: If you are replacing one of dual power adapters during operation, it is not necessary to also remove power from the other adapter.

2 Grasp the outer body of the power adapter plug where it connects with the module.
3 Gently pull the body of the outer plug away from the module. As the body of the plug slides back, it will release from the socket and you can fully withdraw the whole plug.

Gently pull back the plug outer body to release the lock

IMPORTANT: Please read and adhere to the electrical safety information given within the Safety information section of this guide. In particular, do not use an unearthed power socket or extension cable.

Note: Both the modules and the power supplies generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade. Do not place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature exceeds 40 degrees Centigrade.

Console connections: Video

A Single Link DVI-D port is provided on the rear panel of the user module.

The DDX-USR module supports one video display with pixel clocks up to 165MHz (equivalent to a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz - aka 'WUXGA').

If a second display is required to support a dual video installation, use another DDX-USR module to drive the second display, and combine the two user modules into a single Console within the DDX Matrix configuration application - See Configure > Computers.

To connect the video display

Connect the DVI-D video cable from your video display to the video output port on the rear panel of the user module.

EDID management

The DDX switch provides a number of fixed EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) profiles that will suit a large number of video display configurations. If additional EDID definitions are required for your installation, you can clone new definitions from connected video displays and add these to the list of available definitions.

For details about cloning EDIDs from displays, see Add EDID.

For details about applying an EDID to a particular computer, see Configure > Computers > Transmitters.

DDX-USR module switches

The two switches on the DDX-USR module are reserved for future use and must both remain in the OFF position.

Console connections: USB

The DDX-USR module contains a USB hub that can support up to four v1.1 or v2.0 USB devices (in any combination). All four USB sockets, two on the front panel and two on the rear, are identical in operation.

Note: In multi-head installations, the USB devices must be attached only to the DDX-USR module that drives the main display.

To connect USB devices

I Connect your USB keyboard and mouse to any of the four sockets distributed on the front and rear panels of the user module.

Console connections: Audio

The DDX-USR module supports stereo speakers, headphones and also a microphone port. All audio devices are presented at the linked host computer as USB audio devices. Note: In multi-head installations, the audio devices must be attached only to the DDX-USR module that drives the main display.

Configuration

ACCESSING DDX MATRIX

DDX switches are configured via their network connections using an intuitive browser-based application, called DDX Matrix. This secure, password protected application is accessible by any authorized user, located anywhere. The DDX switch can also be accessed via cross origin resource sharing (CORS). This allows interaction in a browser from a different web application. The API is served in a YAML format which can be found at http(s)://rest-api. The DDX switch adheres to RESTful and CORS standards.

To access DDX Matrix

I Use a computer that is directly or indirectly (i.e. via a network switch) connected to the DDX switch. If you need to make a temporary connection, see right
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the DDX switch. The DDX switch uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol for Windows, or Bonjour (mDNS-SD) protocol for Mac and Linux, to contact a valid DHCP server to determine a suitable IP address. If a DHCP server cannot be located then the switch will automatically fall back to a static IP address of 192.168.1.22. This address selection system can be configured later.

Whichever method the switch uses, the initial IP address can be discovered either:

• Using the Windows network browser (of a computer connected to the same sub network or directly to the switch), or
• In the lower right corner of the OSD screen (of a console connected to one of the user ports) see Viewing the OSD. Note: For security, DDX Matrix uses HTTPS by default with a self-signed certificate - Please ignore any warnings that may be displayed by your web browser.

3 If requested, enter your username and password to log on.

Note: The default username and password are admin and password respectively.

The opening page of the DDX Matrix should be displayed:

USING DDX MATRIX

The Dashboard page

Once you have successfully logged in, DDX Matrix will show the dashboard page to provide a general overview of your DDX installation. You can also re-display this page by clicking the Dashboard entry in the menu:

Note: It is not possible to remain logged in for more than 24 hours; after the webUI token has expired, you will need to log in again.

Quick guide to creating a new installation

When creating a new DDX installation there are various configuration tasks that need to be completed within DDX Matrix. This page provides a recommended 'to do list' of the stages that you need to perform.

Primary tasks

• Configure the networking details for the DDX switch.
• Ensure that the EDID definitions are appropriate for your installation. If additional EDID definitions are required for your installation, you can clone new definitions from connected video displays and add these to the list of available definitions.
• Add the required consoles (either before or after they are connected). By default the DDX switch provides 20 computer ports along its rear panel and 10 user ports along its front panel. If necessary, these standard arrangements can be changed to suit your installation.
  • Determine the access permissions for each console.
• Add your computers (either before or after they are connected).
• Add the users and define their login details. See The Users Page

Secondary tasks

• Optionally make changes to the OSD settings.
• Add description and location details for the switch.

See Configure > Central Switch > Network See Configure > Central Switch > Manage EDIDs

See Add EDID See Configure > Consoles

See Reallocating ports See Access permissions See Configure > Computers

See Configure > Central Switch > OSD Settings See Configure > Central Switch > General

The Control page

The Control page provides a Connection map that allows the admin user to view and affect how consoles are connected to the various computers. This page is particularly useful when managing video-only installations.

Connection preset

You can optionally record and recall connection combinations that you often use between various transmitters and receivers as a preset.

To record your preset: Set up the required combination of links between transmitters and receivers (including any preferred Access Permissions), and then click the green Save as Preset' option.

Note: You can add or amend the connection preferences of any console (that will be enacted whenever this overall 'Connect to Preset' option is clicked) within the Add/Edit pages of the required console. See Preset Connection at Configure > Consoles > Add new entry or Configure > Consoles > Edit an entry.

To use your preset: Click the amber 'Connect to Preset' option.

To connect a console

I Click the down arrow on the console entry to reveal the list of computers that it is authorized to access.

2 Click the appropriate connection icon adjacent to the required computer:

• View only - console user can view a computer's output but not alter it.
  • Shared access - console user can view and control a computer along with other consoles,
• Exclusive - multiple console users can view a computer but only one can control it,

or

- Private - console user can view and control the computer privately while other users are locked out. For further details, see Access permissions.

3 You can change the connection method at any time by clicking the down arrow again and choosing an alternative connection option.

To disconnect a console

I Click the 📄 button in the lower left corner of the console entry that you wish to disconnect.

The Configure pages

The Configure menu option expands when clicked to reveal three sub-sections:

• Central Switch - settings related directly to the DDX switch.
- Consoles - settings related to the DDX-USR modules and their connected peripherals.
• Computers - settings related to the DDX-CAM modules and their host computers.

Central Switch > General

Basic settings for the DDX switch. Description/Location are most useful when multiple DDX installations are being managed; labelling each installation as you go is a good habit to get into: - System Default EDID - determines the default EDID to use for the installation.

• Ignore Firmware Mismatch - when set to On, this overrides the checks that are made to ensure all modules are running compatible firmware versions. This override should be used in exceptional circumstances only.
• Manage Time Automatically – when set to ON the current time and timezone will be obtained via the configured NTP & DHCP servers.
• Use Current PCTime - when managing time manually, the system time will be synced to that from the local computer.
• Timezone - when managing time manually or running without DHCP, allows you to declare which timezone you are in.

When the Maintenance > Settings > Web UI Mode is set to Advanced, an extra Versions block is displayed below the General section for diagnostic purposes:

• Firmware Version - shows the firmware version of the DDX switch.
• Recovery Version - shows the version of the DDX switch recovery image.
• Admin UI Version - shows the version of the DDX Matrix admin user interface.
• Board Version - shows the version of the main DDX motherboard.
• Datafpga Version - shows the version of the gate array chip that handles data throughput.
• Videofpga Version - shows the version of the gate array chip that handles video signals.

Central Switch > Network

All of the key settings for the network capabilities of the DDX switch are here:

• IP Address - shows the current IP address for the switch.
• Net Mask - shows the current subnet mask to accompany the IP address.
• Gateway - shows the current address for a gateway device.
• DHCP and (Fallback) Address Scheme - using these two options you can determine how the IP address of the DDX switch should be derived. See below.
• MAC Address - displays the unique (and fixed) MAC address for the switch.
• Web Server Protocol - allows a change to the use of insecure HTTP for web admin - switch reboot required. IMPORTANT: Do not set this option to HTTP when the switch is connected to external networks.
• Network Service Discovery - when set to Disabled, the switch will not announce its presence on the network and will not be discoverable using the Windows network browser on a network-connected computer.
• Hostname - provides a way to access the DDX Matrix by using this hostname together with the domain name (http(s)://.), removing the need to know the IP address.
• Advertise DHCP Domain Name - when set to Off, the DDX switch will use its locally applied domain name in order to appear in the Apple® Bonjour (mDNS-SD) service (this is necessary on some incorrectly configured networks that use the local top-level domain). When set to On, the DDX switch will broadcast its DHCP-supplied name to the Bonjour service.
• DHCP NTP Address - when DHCP is On, this area lists the addresses of time servers being used. This service is only supported if the option 42 NTP server is enabled on the DHCP server. If the alternate timezone option 4 is in use, the IP address of the NTP server will not be displayed.
• Manual NTP Address - allows you to enter the static IP addresses of up to five NTP servers (an average of the time feeds from the servers is taken).

DHCP and (Fallback) Address Scheme

These two options together determine the manner in which the IP address of the DDX switch is configured. If DHCP is set to ON and is available via the network, then the IP address will be set by DHCP.

If DHCP is set to OFF or is unavailable, then the (Fallback) Address Scheme setting comes into play. Whenever the Static option is chosen, you will be able to enter the required IP Address, Net Mask and Gateway options.

This summary shows the combination of settings and their effect on the IP address of the DDX switch

Central Switch > OSD Settings

Options related to the on screen display are presented in this section:

• Thumbnails - when set to Off, this option will hide the thumbnail views of each computer within each user's OSD main page.
• Auto Layout - when set to Off, this option will maintain a 5x5 grid for the displayed computers within the OSD main page, regardless of the number of available computers. When set to On, the OSD view grid will be re-scaled accordingly.
• Use Full Grid - when set to On, if you have 4, 9 or 16 computers connected, the OSD will use the bottom right portion of the screen as a square computer thumbnail, instead of reserving it for the system information. A small tab appears in the top right corner of the OSD if "Show System Info" is On, showing the IP address and an icon denoting any compatibility issues (green tick for no issues, yellow warning for upgrade recommended and a red warning for upgrade required). Note: This option will be hidden if Auto Layout is set to Off.
• Display System Info - when set to On, the current IP address and firmware version details for the DDX switch will be shown in the lower right corner of the OSD, or the IP address and firmware icon in the top right corner of the OSD. Note: Disabling 'Display System Info' will remove the IP address from the OSD. When 'Use Full Grid' is enabled, this option will also suppress all firmware version mismatch warnings.
• Display Date and Time - when set to On, the current date and time are displayed on the OSD menu.
• Background Brightness - determines the brightness of the OSD thumbnail views when the mouse is not hovering over them. Five settings are available, from 100% down to 20%. If set to 100% then all thumbnails remain at full brightness all of the time. Whereas, at 20% all thumbnails will darken until the mouse hovers over one of them, at which point it will come to full brightness to clearly highlight it against all the others.
• EDID - optionally allows you to determine a video resolution to use when displaying the OSD. For instance, if you have a 19" monitor that can only display 1024x768 then by changing this setting to 1024x768 you can match the OSD to the screen resolution. Firmware versions below v3.0 will only display the OSD at a resolution of 1920x1080. After this setting has been changed, the system will reboot automatically.

WARNING: This is a global setting and will be applied to all the monitors connected to the system. Before making changes, ensure that all your monitors can support this video resolution. If you have different sized monitors, this option should be set to the video resolution of the smallest monitor to ensure that you can bring up the OSD on all the monitors connected to your system.

Central Switch > Manage EDIDs

This page lists the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) profiles that are currently available:

• EDID - shows the resolutions and refresh rates for all profiles that are currently stored.
• Type - indicates where each EDID profile originated: Fixed EDIDs are included within the switch firmware and cannot be removed. User EDIDs are those that have been cloned from particular video displays attached to DDX-USR modules - these can be deleted if required. On the main Central Switch > General page you can select the 'Default System EDID' from the list of fixed and user EDIDs.
• Originating Port - indicates which switch port supplied each user EDID.
  • Active Transmitter Ports - indicates which transmitters (if any) are currently using each EDID.

Note: The DDX switch will modify the EDID, if a Dual link monitor is connected, to list only the video resolutions that it is capable of supporting.

Add EDID

If additional EDID definitions are required for your installation, you can clone new definitions from connected video displays and add these to the list of available definitions.

Click the [+] icon to begin collecting a new EDID from a display attached (via a DDX-USR module) to one of the switch ports.

Click the EDID dropdown list and choose the appropriate receiver (DDX-USR module) from which you wish to clone a new EDID profile. Then click the Add EDID button.

For details about applying an EDID to a particular computer, see Configure > Computers > Transmitters.

Reallocating ports

By default the DDX switch provides 10 user console ports on its front panel and 20 computer ports along its rear panel, however, these designations are not fixed. If your installation requires a greater number of computers or has a need for more user consoles, you can alter the allocation of these standard ports to suit:

• Any of the 20 rear panel computer ports can be reallocated as user console ports, or
• Three of the front panel ports (labeled 21 to 23) can be used as computer ports.

To reallocate a port that is already being used

While creating (or editing) a computer or console entry, choose the required port. If the port is already being used, when you click the Update button, you will be presented with a warning such as the following:

2 Click the Confirm button. The chosen port will first be de-allocated from its existing relationship and then paired to your device. The device that originally used the port will be left without a port allocation and will need separate attention.

Note: If you reallocate any port from a multi-head computer/console this will cause all ports associated with that computer/consoles to be de-allocated.

RESETTING AND RECOVERING

There may be rare occasions when the main switch or a module needs to be given a hard reset. The DDX switch and DDX-USR module both have concealed reset buttons for this purpose. You need to use a narrow implement (e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-hold the recessed reset button on the front panel:

DDX switch

DDX switch > Boot into recovery image

This procedure may be necessary if an attempted firmware upgrade has failed. The switch will load the factory default configuration, requiring you to log-in using the factory default username/ password and a freshly determined IP address (see Accessing DDX Matrix). You will be required to accept a new temporary SSL certificate when accessing the web interface. Note: All configuration data (e.g. users, consoles, computers, networking, etc.) will be retained.

1 Press-and-hold the recessed reset button for ten seconds until the STS (Status) indicator begins to flash slowly.
2 Release the reset button. The STS indicator will go out and the switch will boot itself using the recovery image. The STS indicator will now begin to flash again to indicate that it is running from the recovery image (a red banner will also be shown at the top of the DDX Matrix screen).
3 When you are sure of operating conditions, such as having good power stability, proceed once again with the firmware upgrade.

DDX switch > Reset

This procedure may be necessary if the switch has become unresponsive. Note: All configuration data (e.g. users, consoles, computers, networking, etc.) will be retained.

I Press-and-release the recessed reset button. The switch will reboot.

DDX-USR module

DDX-USR module > Boot into recovery mode

This procedure may be necessary if an attempted firmware upgrade has failed. For such a situation the DDX-USR module always retains a recovery image that will return the unit to a working condition, prior to reattempting a firmware upgrade.

Press-and-hold the recessed reset button for ten seconds until the PWR indicator begins to flash quickly.
2 Release the reset button.
3 When you are sure of operating conditions, such as having good power stability, proceed once again with the firmware upgrade.

DDX-USR module > Reset

This procedure may be necessary if a DDX-USR has become unresponsive.

I Press-and-release the recessed reset button. The DDX-USR module will reboot.

Recovering an unresponsive transmitter or receiver

If a firmware upgrade to a transmitter or receiver has failed, the unit may become unresponsive. If so, please follow the advice provided in other sections of this guide:

• Recovering a transmitter
• Recovering a receiver

Operation

The DDX system is designed to be transparent in operation. A simple OSD (On Screen Display) interface allows each user to view and select from the available host computers. Note: The default OSD resolution is 1920 x 1080. If your video display does not support this resolution, see Central Switch > OSD Settings to choose a setting that suits your screen.

VIEWING THE OSD

To view the OSD, either:

• From a console keyboard, press CTRL + ALT + M*, or
- From a console mouse, press and hold the center button and then press the right button*, or
- From a touchscreen, tap the translucent launch icon (if shown) on the touchscreen*.

The OSD will be displayed:

* OSD access settings

Choosing a computer

To choose a computer using the mouse

I Display the OSD from your console using any of the methods shown on the previous page.
2 Hover the mouse pointer over the required screen image. A set of popup connection icons will be displayed:

• View only - you can view a computer's output but not alter it,
- Shared access - you can view and control a computer along with other consoles,
- Exclusive - multiple users can view a computer but only one (the first to make connection) can control it, or
- Private - you can view and control the computer privately while other users are locked out.

For more details, see Access permissions.

Note: If an icon is grayed out, that access method is not available.

3 Click the required connection method. The video output from the chosen computer will be displayed full screen and you can use it as normal.

Note: When viewing the OSD, you can also click outside a computer thumbnail to return to your previous computer (with your last access permissions if still available).

To choose a computer using hotkeys (without viewing the OSD)

- Press and hold Ctrl + Alt and type the number of the required computer. The video output from the chosen computer will be displayed full screen and you can use it as normal.

Note: Shared access mode is always used when the computer choice is made via hotkeys.

Using the Virtual Control Panel to adjust VGA inputs

When video inputs are fed from analog VGA sources (via a DDX-CAM-VGA) it may be necessary to perform minor adjustments to achieve the best possible image; the Virtual Control Panel allows you to do this.

To adjust the image from an analog VGA input

I Display the OSD from your console.

2 Select the appropriate computer.
3 Press the following hotkey combination: CTRL + ALT + C to display the Virtual Control Panel.
4 Then:

- To change position of screen image: Use the keyboard arrow keys.

• To adjust the brightness: Use the + and- keys.
• To adjust the clock phase: Use the < and > keys.
- To reset to the default settings: Press the R key.

5 To return to normal operation: Press the Escape (Esc) key. Any changes made will be stored for this computer within your console and will be reapplied each time the computer is revisited.

USB Improvements

Version 2.0 of the DDX Switch firmware has the following improvements in USB support over the original v1.03:

• Touchscreens that advertise compatibility with windows 8 are now supported. Any touchscreens that use proprietary drivers or do not declare windows 8 support are not supported. Multiple touchscreens are now merged into the combined HID device that the transmitter reports.
  • The Adder Free-Flow mouse reported by the CCS-PRO4 is now merged so as only one Free-Flow mouse is reported by the transmitter. Previously, if four receivers were connected to the CCS-PRO4, four different Free-Flow mice would be reported meaning that no other non-emulated USB device could be connected to the receivers.
• Up to five non-emulated USB HID devices can be connected to the transmitter. The transmitter can support up to seven USB devices, but will always report a combined HID device for keyboard/mouse and touchscreen support, and an Audio device for speakers and microphone support.

USING AUDIO

The DDX system fully supports stereo audio, with all audio devices being presented at the linked host computer as USB audio devices. There are slight differences in audio operation between DDX devices acting in a simple extender arrangement (without the use of a DDX switch) and a full DDX matrix installation.

Using audio in a simple extender installation

The audio is presented to the computer's operating system as a USB headset with controls for input level, input mute, input AGC, sidetone level, sidetone mute, output level, output mute and output balance. The audio device is permanently presented to the computer when the DDX-CAM module powers up.

You can adjust the audio features using all of the standard operating system controls.

Note: Due to the architecture of the Codec, adjusting the input (microphone) level or muting the input (microphone) will also affect the sidetone level and mute.

Using audio in a full DDX matrix installation

Audio functionality is enabled by default on all computers. For multi-head computers, audio is only enabled for the primary transmitter, although two audio devices will be presented to the computer, one for each transmitter. For multi-head consoles, audio is only enabled for the primary receiver.

Managing audio in multi-user situations

• In all connection modes, the audio output of the computer is routed to the receiver from the transmitter.
• In View Only and Shared modes, the receiver input audio is ignored.
• In Exclusive and Private modes, the receiver input audio is routed to the transmitter.

Note: The above is equivalent to routing the output audio as per the video and the input audio as per the USB (except in View Only and Shared modes, where the input audio stream is ignored).

When viewing the OSD selection screen, input and output audio is suppressed.

The user who is currently in control of a computer can adjust the audio levels using the standard operating system audio features; their changes will affect the audio for all other users viewing the same computer. Additional users connected in View Mode, or additional Shared Access users who don't have control, can listen to the audio but at the volume dictated by the main user. As a user switches between machines, their audio levels are automatically adjusted to match their current connection.

INDICATORS

The DDX switches, the DDX-CAM and DDX-USR modules contain various indicators to provide you with status information.

DDX switch - Red front panel status indicators

APPENDIX I - LINK CABLE INTERFERENCE PROTECTION

While the Category rating (e.g., CAT 5e, CAT 6a, CAT 7, etc.) determines the electrical performance of a cable, another vital part of the overall cable specification is its protection from interference. As cabling distances and data rates increase, so too does the susceptibility to interference, from both external and internal sources.

Proximity to other electromagnetic sources are the main external threat and these can be subdued using overall screening that surrounds all four of the cable pairs. However, interference is also possible from neighbouring twisted pairs within the same cable and this can be just as hazardous to data integrity. Such crosstalk is countered by shielding each cable pair separately.

Within each Category rating, you can specify different combinations of external screening and internal shielding to suit the environment into which the link is being placed.

Interference protection codes

Interference protection is classified in the following manner:

U/UTP

where

U = unshielded

F = foil shielding

S = braided shielding

PiMF = Pairs in Metal Foil

Note: Do not use unshielded cables with the DDX modules.

Name Overall Screening Pair Shielding

U/UTP ✗ ✗

F/UTP √ ×

U/FTP ✗ √

S/FTP √ √

or S/STP or PiMF

APPENDIX 2 - FIRMWARE UPGRADES FOR BASIC EXTENDER INSTALLATIONS

Extender systems (or individual DDX-USR units) can be upgraded using a USB stick if required. This is carried out as follows:

Connect the DDX-USR to a compatible display and keyboard; optionally connect to a DDX-CAM module using a Shielded CAT6a or CAT7 data cable to upgrade it at the same time.
2 On the DDX-USR unit, insert a FAT32-formatted USB stick containing the extender firmware upgrade file into one of the front USB ports. Note: The extender firmware upgrade file must be in the root folder.
3 Apply power to the DDX-USR unit and DDX-CAM modules. IMPORTANT: Ensure power remains uninterrupted throughout the upgrade process.
4 Press-and-hold the recessed reset button for ten seconds until the PWR indicator begins to flash quickly, then release the reset button.
5 When prompted, type in the name of the extender firmware upgrade file and press Enter.
6 Type Y or N as appropriate, when asked if an attached (DDX-CAM) transmitter unit should also be upgraded.
7 The display will show the upgrade progress and confirmation message.
8 If successful the DDX-USR and DDX-CAM modules will automatically be rebooted and the USB stick can be removed.
