Automatic switching between systems
When used with Synchrony software, the Adder TS4 allows automatic
switching between the connected systems and screens. The switching
between the systems is determined primarily by the position of the
mouse cursor. As the cursor exceeds the periphery of one screen,
control is seamlessly switched to the next screen/system.
This operation
requires all of the
systems to run the
Synchrony utility
and one of them
to be designated
as the ‘primary’.
Additionally, a
serial link is required
between the
primary system and
the Adder TS4.

Introduction
The Adder TS4 is a robust keyboard and mouse switch created
specifically for trading floors and control rooms, where information
must be controlled across numerous systems and screens. The
TS4 allows a single keyboard and mouse to fulfil the function that
previously required four separate sets. This provides immediate savings
in both desk space and also the time required to access information
spread across up to four systems and screens.
Switching between the systems connected to the Adder TS4 can be
achieved in five different ways:
• The Adder TS4 unit SELECT button
• The optional RC4 Remote control selector
• Keyboard hotkey combinations
• Mouse button combinations
• Automatic switching using the Synchrony utility (see below)
Single keyboard and mouse are common to all
of the systems and are electronically connected
to the required one using any of four switching
methods. Switching can be initiated from either
the keyboard or mouse in addition to the TS4
unit or optional remote control.

The display
clearly shows
which system
is currently
connected to the
keyboard and
mouse.
The keyboard and mouse are
electronically linked through to
the currently selected system.
The video displays are connected directly to their respective
systems as usual. The keyboard and mouse ports of each
system, however, are connected to the TS4 unit.
