Configuring Multiple Monitors - ADDER CCS4-USB Manual

Configuring multiple monitors

Multi-Monitor configuration is similar to normal Free-Flow setup except that you
can add more than one display per PC, up to a total of eight per machine.
Note: It is necessary to install a driver on each PC that has multiple displays - see
Installing drivers and multi-monitor config app

to the CCS4-USB port. If the optional CCS-XB module is connected

2 If it is not already running, start the Free-Flow configuration application.

the map area.

4 Arrange the coloured rectangular screen representations to mimic the
physical layout of the actual displays. For example, you may wish to have
the two screens of PC1 side by side, with the two screen screens of PC2
below them (as shown left), or some other arrangement to reflect the actual
positions of the physical monitor screens.
The important thing is to define where each screen edge abuts to the next
so that the CCS4-USB switch can determine the correct moments to switch
channels.
Use the small black squares around the perimeter of each highlighted screen
representation to change their size or stretch them.
Note: The numbers of the screen representations relate directly to the four
channels on the CCS4-USB switch, while the letters relate to the screen
hierarchy attached to any single computer (i.e. A is primary, B is secondary,
etc.).
