Adder CCS-MV4224 – ADDERView 4-Port 4K Multi-Viewer KVM Switch

Product Overview

The Adder CCS-MV4224 is a 4-port multi-viewer KVM switch that displays four computers simultaneously on a single 4K screen while sharing one keyboard, mouse, and audio set among them. As a command-and-control multi-viewer switch, it lets an operator take control of any source simply by moving the mouse into its window — no buttons, no hotkeys — producing the experience of one desktop spanning four machines. Hybrid DisplayPort and HDMI input ports accept single or dual-head computers, and dual HDMI outputs at UHD 4K (3840x2160) support extended or duplicated console displays. For operators monitoring multiple systems at once, this 4K multi-viewer KVM switch reduces desk clutter and improves situational awareness.

Product Description

Multi-viewer switching solves a specific operational problem: watching several systems continuously while retaining instant control of any one of them. The CCS-MV4224 renders all four computer feeds in real time on one display, using preset quad, picture-in-picture, or fully custom window layouts that the operator can move and resize.

Control follows the cursor: gliding the mouse from one window to another automatically switches keyboard, mouse, and audio to that computer. Copy and paste of text between Windows 10 machines works with standard Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, and an audio hold function pins sound to one channel while the operator works on another — useful when monitoring a communications feed while driving a different system.

Each of the four computer ports is a hybrid dual-mode connector accepting DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI (DVI via adapter), so mixed source fleets connect without converters. USB provisioning is split intelligently: emulated USB 2.0 ports give instant HID switching for keyboard and mouse, while switched USB 3.0 ports handle mass storage, headsets, and webcams. An RS232 serial port (RJ12) accepts remote layout and channel selection commands for control room automation, and the front-panel E-paper display plus configurable port LEDs and window border colors keep channel identification unambiguous.

The fanless metal chassis runs silently at the operator position, draws a maximum of 30W, and carries an 84,000-hour MTBF rating with a 2-year warranty. The switch also integrates with the ADDERLink INFINITY matrix, allowing a user to multi-view any four computers on the matrix network. Companion Adder switching and extension hardware is available in our Adder Technology collection.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which video connections do the computer ports accept?
Each of the four inputs is a hybrid dual-mode port supporting DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI, so mixed fleets connect directly. DVI sources connect via adapter.

Can I run two monitors at the operator position?
Yes. The two HDMI console outputs support extended or duplicated displays, each up to UHD 4K at 30 fps.

How does switching between computers work?
Control follows the mouse: moving the cursor into a source window switches keyboard, mouse, and audio to that computer automatically. RS232 commands are also available for remote layout and channel selection.

Does it support USB devices beyond keyboard and mouse?
Yes. In addition to emulated USB 2.0 HID ports, four switched USB 3.0 ports support flash drives, headsets, and webcams.

Will it work with an ADDERLink INFINITY matrix?
Yes. The CCS-MV4224 can connect to the ADDERLink INFINITY system, letting the operator multi-view and control any four computers on the matrix network.

What warranty applies?
Adder covers the CCS-MV4224 with a 2-year warranty, and Creation Networks can advise on extended service options at the time of order.
