Note that there is no conversion inside the CCS-2 between DVI and VGA – if a signal is connected to the Video Input as VGA, only the VGA output pins will have signal at this connector, and vice-versa. - Page 4 MIDI A-D: 4x 5-Pin DIN standard MIDI connections. Allows interfacing between traditional MIDI equipment and the CCS-2. MIDI connectors A & B are configurable as Input or Output connectors to increase flexibility (via the Preset Manager software), whilst connectors C & D are always outputs. To further increase connectivity, connectors A &...

CCS-2 generated MIDI events will be locked to this channel. Note this feature is also available on the front panel, irrespective of this setting in the preset. GPIO Configuration Use these configuration options to set the debounce times and polarity settings for the GPI inputs and pulse times for the GPO relays. - Page 9 See Pinouts. MIDI Routing Groups: Any CCS-2 generated MIDI events can be routed to any of the available MIDI ports on the unit, from individual MIDI ports to the USB MIDI connections. It may be desirable to...

- Page 18 Example Preset This simple set of events will enable the CCS-2 to generate 4 MIDI events to the connected computers via USB when using GPI 1-4, and act as a KVM switch to share a single set of keyboard, mouse and display. Front Switch A will select computer A, and Front Switch B will select computer B.
- Page 19 Uploading to the CCS-2 Once a preset is complete and ready to be transferred to the CCS-2, connect the front panel “PROG” port to the computer running Preset Manager using a Mini USB – USB A cable. If successfully detected, the Device Link indicator should turn green and information about the currently connected CCS-2 should be displayed.
