Adder CCS-XB – LED Screen Illumination Module for CCS-PRO

Product Overview

The Adder CCS-XB is an LED light module designed to indicate active screen focus when used alongside Adder Free-Flow switching on the CCS-PRO range. This CCS-PRO LED illumination module places an LED indicator on each screen so operators always know which display currently holds keyboard and mouse control. In multi-monitor command and control desks, an active screen focus indicator like the CCS-XB removes the guesswork that causes typed commands to land on the wrong computer.

Product Description

Adder's Free-Flow technology lets a single keyboard and mouse glide across the screens of up to eight computers on a CCS-PRO8, or four on a CCS-PRO4. The CCS-XB expansion box adds the missing visual layer: a positively identified LED on the bezel of whichever screen has focus.

The color and intensity of the LED can be controlled for each screen, so installations can match indicator brightness to dim control-room lighting or assign distinct colors per system. Units come with either 4 or 8 LED indicators depending on ordering code (CCS-XB and CCS-XB8), and the module supports up to 10 indicators in total — enough for large multi-viewer desks. The CCS-PRO8 connects to the module via a 10p10c connector using the VSC46 cable, and the switch's connector layout also accommodates the RC4 4-button or RC8 8-button remote control alongside the LED system. For operators monitoring many sources at once — dispatchers, network operations staff, production engineers — the result is faster, more confident switching with fewer input errors.

Key Features

• Active Screen Focus Indication — An LED indicator positioned on each screen identifies the current focus of keyboard and mouse control at a glance.
• Per-Screen Color and Intensity Control — Indicator color and brightness can be configured for each screen to suit room lighting and operator preference.
• Designed for Free-Flow — Purpose-built to accompany Adder Free-Flow switching on the CCS-PRO range, reinforcing cursor-driven channel changes.
• Scales to 10 Indicators — Ships with 4 or 8 LED indicators (CCS-XB / CCS-XB8) and supports up to 10 for large desks.
• Simple Switch Connection — Connects to the CCS-PRO8 via a 10p10c connector using the VSC46 cable.
• Fewer Input Errors — Removes ambiguity about which computer is live, reducing misdirected keystrokes in critical operations.

Typical Applications

• Government spaces with multi-computer operator consoles
• Broadcast studios where engineers control several systems from one desk
• Training rooms demonstrating multi-screen Free-Flow workflows
• Commercial meeting spaces running multi-source operator positions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the CCS-XB actually do?

It places an LED indicator on each screen connected to a CCS-PRO switch, lighting the display that currently has keyboard and mouse focus during Free-Flow switching.

How many screens can it indicate?

Units come with 4 or 8 LED indicators, and up to 10 are supported per module.

Can I change the indicator color or brightness?

Yes. Adder states the color and intensity can be controlled for each screen.

Which switches is it compatible with?

The CCS-XB connects to the Adder CCS-PRO range, including the CCS-PRO4 and CCS-PRO8.

How does it connect to the switch?

On the CCS-PRO8, the module connects through a 10p10c connector via the VSC46 cable.
