Adder VSC41 – Synchronization Cable for AV4PRO Multi-Head KVM

Product Overview

The Adder VSC41 synchronization cable links two or more AdderView 4 PRO KVM switches so they change channels together, the standard method for building a multi-head KVM switching system. For control room and trading desk integrators, this AV4PRO sync cable connects the Options ports on adjacent units, allowing a master switch to drive slave units for dual-monitor, triple-monitor, quad-monitor and larger configurations. It is the designated multi-monitor KVM synchronization accessory for the AV4PRO-DVI, AV4PRO-DP and AV4PRO-VGA families.

Product Description

Each AdderView 4 PRO switch includes an Options port that accepts simple ASCII switching codes and echoes the same codes when a channel change occurs. The VSC41 exploits this behavior: by linking the Options ports of multiple AV4PRO units, a channel change on the master unit is propagated to every connected slave, so all video heads follow the same computer selection without operator intervention. This is how Adder specifies multi-head builds — for example, two AV4PRO-DP units linked with a VSC41 form a 4-port dual-monitor DisplayPort KVM system, and additional units extend the arrangement to triple, quad or five-monitor desks. Typical deployments include broadcast galleries, network operations centers and engineering workstations where each operator monitors several displays per computer. The cable connects directly between Options ports with no configuration software required beyond the switches' own settings. Because synchronization is handled at the switch level, the operator keeps a single keyboard and mouse while every screen tracks the active channel. The VSC41 is compatible with AV4PRO-DVI, AV4PRO-DP and AV4PRO-VGA series switches. Find the matching switches and accessories in the Adder Technology collection at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• Options Port Synchronization — Links the Options ports of AV4PRO switches so ASCII channel-change codes from the master are followed by every connected unit.
• Multi-Head System Building Block — Enables dual, triple, quad and five-monitor KVM switching systems from standard 4-port AV4PRO units.
• Cross-Interface Compatibility — Works across the AV4PRO-DVI, AV4PRO-DP and AV4PRO-VGA switch families.
• Automatic Channel Tracking — Slave units switch in step with the master, so operators never manage screens individually.
• No Additional Hardware Required — Synchronization uses the switches' built-in remote-switching capability over a single cable link.
