Free-Flow

Adder Free-Flow allows you to automatically switch between target computers simply by
moving the mouse across the edge of the screen. This is most often used when separate
video displays are all connected directly to the computers; with only the keyboard,
mouse and audio being switched (also known as KM mode). With the multiple video
displays arranged in a grid, you can clearly see which display you are working on and the
direction in which you need to move the mouse in order to select the next.
The default display layout is 2x2, however, this may be changed to 4x1 by pressing:
Left Ctrl then Left Ctrl then F11 then F2.
To revert to 2x2 layout mode, use F1 at the end instead.
Notes:
• When used with dual head displays connected to computers running older versions of
Windows, it may require looping through the displays twice to effect a switch. The problem
may be resolved by installing the MuMo (multi-monitor) driver available from Adder.com
• Free-flow works for both single and dual head displays.
• Upon switching, the operator is advised to check the front panel display to confirm the
currently selected channel.
• The Free-Flow feature is disabled by default and a factory reset will return it to a disabled
state.
This feature requires the mouse to be used in absolute mode so that the switch can
determine its exact position on each video display, rather than the default relative mode.
Note: Older versions of Linux do not support Absolute mode, so cannot be used with Free-Flow.
To enable Free-Flow
• Select absolute mouse mode: Press Left Ctrl then Right Ctrl then F11 then c
To disable Free-Flow
• Select relative mouse mode: Press Left Ctrl then Right Ctrl then F11 then b
Note: Free-Flow mode can also be enabled/disabled from terminal mode. Ensure that 'video follow
mouse' mode is enabled, otherwise only the USB and audio will switch. See page 19.
Guard mode
Once Free-Flow is enabled, whenever you wish to switch to another computer, simply
hold down the Left Ctrl key on the console keyboard as you move the mouse pointer
from the boundary of one screen towards that of the next. The channel should change as
the pointer crosses the boundary. The necessity to hold down the Left Ctrl key is called
Guard Mode and is there to prevent accidental switching. If required, you can disable
guard mode, as discussed on page 17.
