Adder CCS-MV4228 – 8-Port 4K Multi-Viewer KVM Switch

Product Overview

The Adder CCS-MV4228 (AdderView CCS-MV 4228) is an 8-port 4K multi-viewer KVM switch built for command and control environments where one operator must monitor and control up to eight computers from a single workstation. This DisplayPort/HDMI multi-viewer switch tiles real-time 4K video from every source onto one or two console displays, while keyboard, mouse, and audio follow the operator's focus automatically. For teams specifying a command and control KVM switch, an 8-port multi-viewer for broadcast monitoring, or a desktop KVM switch with simultaneous multi-source viewing, the CCS-MV4228 delivers UHD 4K output with the responsiveness of a direct desktop connection.

Product Description

In operations centers, broadcast facilities, and government monitoring spaces, operators routinely juggle multiple isolated computers. The CCS-MV4228 consolidates that sprawl: eight computers connect through hybrid dual-mode DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI video ports, and their outputs appear together as resizable windows on the console displays at up to UHD 4K (3840x2160) at 30Hz with 4:4:4 chroma.

Switching is natural and immediate. Adder's automatic switching follows the mouse — moving the cursor into a window transfers keyboard, mouse, and audio control to that computer without pressing a button, giving the operator the experience of a single unified desktop. Preset and custom window layouts can be recalled locally or selected remotely over RS232, which suits control room installations where wall displays support situational awareness. An audio hold facility keeps the audio path locked to one channel while the operator works on another, and a digital audio mixer can combine HDMI audio from multiple channels with per-channel volume control.

The unit pairs True Emulation USB 2.0 ports for instant HID switching with a dedicated high-speed USB 2.0 port for mass storage, headsets, and webcams. Channel names, configurable LED colors, and window border colors reduce operator error in multi-source environments, and copy-and-paste of text between Windows 10 computers streamlines routine workflows. The CCS-MV4228 can also connect into an ADDERLink INFINITY IP KVM matrix, letting the operator control any eight computers on the matrix network. Built in a 2U metal chassis with an e-paper front display and compatibility with Windows, Linux, and macOS, it carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the CCS-MV4228 connect computers with different video outputs?
Yes. The hybrid input ports accept DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI directly, and DVI sources can connect using appropriate adapter cables, so mixed fleets of single- and dual-head computers are supported.

Does it work within an ADDERLink INFINITY matrix?
Yes. The CCS-MV4228 integrates with the ALIF matrix system, allowing the operator to select and control any eight computers connected to the IP KVM network.

How does an operator switch between computers?
Control follows the mouse: moving the cursor into a source window transfers keyboard, mouse, and audio to that computer automatically. Channels can also be selected via front panel, or remotely over RS232 from a control system.

What operating systems are supported?
Windows, Linux, and macOS are supported. The copy-and-paste text feature applies to Windows 10 computers.

Is it rack-mountable?
The unit is a 2U metal chassis; Adder offers a rackmount kit for 19-inch rack installation.

What warranty and support are included?
The CCS-MV4228 carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty, and Creation Networks provides pre- and post-sale support for system design and integration questions.
