Operation

User arbitration and keyboard indicators

During operation, all of the connected video monitors continuously receive the
output from the host system (or KVM switch). Control of the host system is
arbitrated by the AdderView Prism on a first come, first served basis. In the idle
state, control is available to all users and their keyboard indicators all show the
current Num Lock, etc. conditions of the host system.
At the moment that a key
is pressed or a mouse is
moved, the keyboards and
mice of the other users are
temporarily locked-out (the
video images remain). The
keyboard indicators of the
locked-out users then begin
to flash to confirm their
status:
After two seconds of inactivity from the user currently in control, the AdderView
Prism returns to its idle condition and the re-instates the keyboard indicators of
the locked-out users.

AdderView Prism indicators

The red indicators on the front panel of the
AdderView Prism illuminate to show which
user currently has control.
The green indicator illuminates when the
power supply is connected and switched on.

to compensate for losses introduced by long video cables. The effect of this
is to ensure that the video images remain sharp even at high resolutions over
relatively long distances.
