Introduction

WELCOME

Thank you for choosing the AdderView DDX system. This adaptive system makes sharing numerous host computers among multiple users straightforward and exible. Every computer is linked, via its USB and video ports, to a compact DDX-CAM

module while each set of peripherals are connected to a DDX-USR module (to form Consoles).

The various computers and consoles are then linked, via CAT6a or CAT7 cable with S/FTP, S/STP or PiMF shielding (see Appendix 1 for details), to a central

DDX switch. Each user can then, subject to the privileges granted by the admin, gain

quick access to any of the required computers.

If required, computers and consoles can be individually connected in order to take advantage of the DDX extender properties

without the switching.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure you are using shielded cables.

Cable type and distance rules

• Cable screening/shielding is required. The best cable shielding specications for use with the DDX system are: S/FTP, S/STP or PiMF.

• Extension distances up to 50m are supported with single uninterrupted runs of

recommended cable (shielded CAT6a or CAT7 cable).

• CAT5 or CAT5e cables must NOT be used with this product.

• Overall cable runs must be reduced by 5m for each additional cable coupling.

• All patch cables should be as short as possible and should be no longer than 2m.

• It is recommended that Adder shielded CAT7 cables are used for maximum

performance.

INSTALLATION

CONFIGURATIONOPERATION

FURTHER

INFORMATION

An integral part of DDX switches is the DDX Matrix, a browser-based conguration and management tool that allows one or more remote admin user(s) to monitor and maintain all aspects of operation.

INDEX

Access permissions

The DDX switch uses a system of hierarchal Access permissions to mediate between numerous consoles and multiple computers. Each console is granted the use of up to

four types of access permissions to each computer, most of which inuence how other users can gain simultaneous access to the same computer. The four access permissions,

and their effects on other console users are as follows:

INSTALLATION

VIEW ONLY

The console user

can view the chosen

computer’s output but

cannot control it.

Once selected,

other consoles can simultaneously use

VIEW ONLY,

SHARED ACCESS or

EXCLUSIVE

for the same computer.

Note: The hierarchy of permissions shown here increases from left to right.

SHARED ACCESS

LOCATIONS

Please consider the following important points when planning the position of the AdderView DDX modules:

• If used, position the DDX switch in a central position that serves the host computer

systems and user modules without exceeding the maximum link lengths. It will also require a source of mains power.

• Situate each DDX-USR module close to the peripherals to which it will be connected and near to a source of mains power.

• Consult the precautions listed within the Safety information section.

CONNECTIONS

Connections do not need to be carried out in the order given within this guide, however,

where possible connect the power in as a nal step. Connections are split into the following three areas:

• Computer connections - a DDX-CAM module links to each host computer.

• Switch connections - when used, a DDX switch unit sits at the heart of the system.

• Console connections - the peripherals (keyboard, display, etc.) connect to DDX-USR modules.

Computer connections: Video

Three types of DDX-CAM modules are available:  DVI-D and USB or DisplayPort and USB or VGA and USB. If a computer has more than one video output, use additional DDX-CAM modules to

separately link the additional video stream(s) with other ports on the DDX switch.

To connect the video port

1 Connect the video lead of the DDX-CAM

to the DVI-D, DisplayPort or VGA video port of the host computer.

DVI-D video lead from the DDX-CAM

 OR

Computer connections: USB

Each DDX-CAM module requires a single USB connection to the computer. This

provides essential power for the DDX-CAM module in addition to the USB signals. Each DDX-USR module acts as a USB 2.0 hub and thus provides four sockets for peripherals.

To connect the USB port

1 Connect the USB cable of the DDX-CAM module

to a vacant USB socket on your host computer.

INSTALLATIONCONFIGURATIONOPERATION

Switch connections: Power

Each DDX switch is supplied with a single power adapter but offers the facility to use

a second input in order to provide operational redundancy. The DDX unit can operate

perfectly well from a single power adapter operating alone. When two adapters are

connected, the unit will spread its load between them; should one power input fail, 100%

of the load will be transferred to the other power adapter without a break in operation.

Remote checking of the power inputs is possible at any time via the browser interface -

see Maintenance > Diagnostics for details.

There is no on/off switch on the DDX unit, so operation begins as soon as power is

applied at either port.

To connect the power adapter

1 Attach the output plug of the supplied power adapter to

either power input socket on the left side of the rear panel.

From the

power adapter

2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specic power cord to the socket

of the power adapter.

To disconnect the power adapter

1 Isolate the power adapter from the

mains supply.

 Note: If you are replacing one of dual

power adapters during operation, it is not necessary to also remove power from the other adapter.

2 Grasp the outer body of the power

adapter plug where it connects with the module.

3 Gently pull the body of the outer

plug away from the module. As the

Conguration

ACCESSING DDX MATRIX

DDX switches are congured via their network connections using an intuitive browser-based application, called DDX Matrix. This secure, password protected application is accessible by any authorized user, located anywhere. The DDX

switch can also be accessed via cross origin resource sharing (CORS). This allows interaction in a browser from a different web application. The API is served in a YAML format which can be found at http(s)://<ipaddress>/rest-api. The DDX switch

adheres to RESTful and CORS standards.

To access DDX Matrix

1 Use a computer that is directly or indirectly (i.e. via a network switch) connected to the DDX switch. If you need to

make a temporary connection, see right Ü

2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the DDX switch. The DDX switch uses the Universal

Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol for Windows, or Bonjour (mDNS-SD) protocol for Mac and Linux, to contact a valid

DHCP server to determine a suitable IP address. If a DHCP server cannot be located then the switch will automatically fall back to a static IP address of 192.168.1.22. This address selection system can be congured later.

 Whichever method the switch uses, the initial IP address can be discovered either:

• Using the Windows network browser (of a computer connected to the same sub network or directly to the switch),

• In the lower right corner of the OSD screen (of a console connected to one of the user ports) see Viewing the OSD.

 Note: For security, DDX Matrix uses HTTPS by default with a self-signed certicate - Please ignore any warnings that may be

displayed by your web browser.

3 If requested, enter your username and password to log on.  Note: The default username and password are admin and password respectively.  The opening page of the DDX Matrix should be displayed:

address of the DDX switch should be derived. See below.

• MAC Address - displays the unique (and xed) MAC address for the switch.

• Web Server Protocol - allows a change to the use of insecure HTTP for web admin - switch reboot

required. IMPORTANT: Do not set this option to HTTP when the switch is connected to external networks.

• Network Service Discovery - when set to Disabled, the switch will not announce its presence on the network and will not be discoverable using the Windows network browser on a network-

connected computer.

• Hostname - provides a way to access the DDX Matrix by using this hostname together with the domain name (http(s)://<hostname>.<domain>), removing the need to know the IP address.

• Advertise DHCP Domain Name - when set to Off, the DDX switch will use its locally applied

domain name in order to appear in the Apple® Bonjour (mDNS-SD) service (this is necessary on

some incorrectly congured networks that use the local top-level domain). When set to On, the DDX switch will broadcast its DHCP-supplied name to the Bonjour service.

• DHCP NTP Address - when DHCP is On, this area lists the addresses of time servers being used. This service is only supported if the option 42 NTP server is enabled on the DHCP server. If the alternate timezone option 4 is in use, the IP address of the NTP server will not be displayed.

• Manual NTP Address - allows you to enter the static IP addresses of up to ve NTP servers (an average of the time feeds from the servers is taken).

INSTALLATIONCONFIGURATIONOPERATION

DHCP and (Fallback) Address Scheme

These two options together determine the manner in which the IP address of the DDX

switch is congured. If DHCP is set to ON and is available via the network, then the IP address

will be set by DHCP. If DHCP is set to OFF or is unavailable, then the

(Fallback) Address Scheme setting comes into

play. Whenever the Static option is chosen, you

will be able to enter the required IP Address, Net Mask and Gateway options.

Central Switch > OSD Settings

Options related to the on screen display are presented in this section:

• Thumbnails - when set to Off, this option will hide the thumbnail views of each computer within

each user’s OSD main page.

• Auto Layout - when set to Off, this option will maintain a 5x5 grid for the displayed computers within the OSD main page, regardless of the number of available computers. When set to On, the OSD view grid will be re-scaled accordingly.

• Use Full Grid - when set to On, if you have 4, 9 or 16 computers connected, the OSD will use the bottom right portion of the screen as a square computer thumbnail, instead of reserving it for the

system information. A small tab appears in the top right corner of the OSD if “Show System Info”

is On, showing the IP address and an icon denoting any compatibility issues (green tick for no issues, yellow warning for upgrade recommended and a red warning for upgrade required).

Note: This option will be hidden if Auto Layout is set to Off.

• Display System Info - when set to On, the current IP address and rmware version details for the DDX switch will be shown in the lower right corner of the OSD, or the IP address and rmware

icon in the top right corner of the OSD.

Note: Disabling ‘Display System Info’ will remove the IP address from the OSD. When ‘Use Full Grid’ is

enabled, this option will also suppress all rmware version mismatch warnings.

• Display Date and Time - when set to On, the current date and time are displayed on the OSD

menu.

• Background Brightness - determines the brightness of the OSD thumbnail views when the mouse is not hovering over them. Five settings are available, from 100% down to 20%. If set to 100% then all thumbnails remain at full brightness all of the time. Whereas, at 20% all thumbnails will darken until the mouse hovers over one of them, at which point it will come to full brightness to clearly

highlight it against all the others.

• EDID - optionally allows you to determine a video resolution to use when displaying the OSD. For instance, if you have a 19” monitor that can only display 1024x768 then by changing this setting to 1024x768 you can match the OSD to the screen resolution. Firmware versions below v3.0 will only display the OSD at a resolution of 1920x1080. After this setting has been changed, the

system will reboot automatically.

 WARNING: This is a global setting and will be applied to all the monitors connected to the system. Before

making changes, ensure that all your monitors can support this video resolution. If you have different sized monitors, this option should be set to the video resolution of the smallest monitor to ensure that you can bring up the OSD on all the monitors connected to your system.

By default the DDX switch provides 10 user console ports on its front panel and 20 computer ports along its rear panel, however, these designations are not xed. If your

installation requires a greater number of computers or has a need for more user

consoles, you can alter the allocation of these standard ports to suit:

• Any of the 20 rear panel computer ports can be reallocated as user console ports, or

• Three of the front panel ports (labeled 21 to 23) can be used as computer ports.

To reallocate a port that is already being used

1 While creating (or editing) a computer or console entry, choose the required port.  If the port is already being used, when you click the Update button, you will be

presented with a warning such as the following:

2 Click the Conrm button. The chosen port will rst be de-allocated from its existing

relationship and then paired to your device. The device that originally used the port

(e.g. a straightened-out paper clip) to press-and-hold the recessed reset button on the front panel:

DDX switch

DDX switch > Boot into recovery image

This procedure may be necessary if an attempted rmware upgrade has failed. The switch will load the factory default conguration, requiring you to log-in using the factory

default username/ password and a freshly determined IP address (see Accessing DDX

Matrix). You will be required to accept a new temporary SSL certicate when accessing

the web interface. Note: All conguration data (e.g. users, consoles, computers, networking, etc.) will be retained.

1 Press-and-hold the recessed reset button for ten seconds until the STS (Status)

indicator begins to ash slowly.

2 Release the reset button. The STS indicator will go out and the switch will boot itself

using the recovery image. The STS indicator will now begin to ash again to indicate that it is running from the recovery image (a red banner will also be shown at the top

of the DDX Matrix screen).

3 When you are sure of operating conditions, such as having good power stability,

proceed once again with the rmware upgrade.

When video inputs are fed from analog VGA sources (via a DDX-CAM-VGA) it may be necessary to perform minor adjustments to achieve the best possible image; the Virtual

Control Panel allows you to do this.

To adjust the image from an analog VGA input

1 Display the OSD from your console. 2 Select the appropriate computer. 3 Press the following hotkey combination: CTRL + ALT + C to display the Virtual

Control Panel.

4 Then:

• To change position of screen image: Use the keyboard arrow keys.

• To adjust the brightness: Use the + and – keys.

• To adjust the clock phase: Use the < and > keys.

• To reset to the default settings: Press the R key.

5 To return to normal operation: Press the Escape (Esc) key. Any changes made will be

stored for this computer within your console and will be reapplied each time the

computer is revisited.

USB Improvements

Version 2.0 of the DDX Switch rmware has the following improvements in USB support over the original v1.03:

• Touchscreens that advertise compatibility with windows 8 are now supported. Any touchscreens that use proprietary drivers or do not declare windows 8 support are not supported. Multiple touchscreens are now merged into the combined HID device

that the transmitter reports.

• The Adder Free-Flow mouse reported by the CCS-PRO4 is now merged so as only one Free-Flow mouse is reported by the transmitter. Previously, if four receivers were connected to the CCS-PRO4, four different Free-Flow mice would be reported meaning that no other non-emulated USB device could be connected to the receivers.

• Up to ve non-emulated USB HID devices can be connected to the transmitter. The transmitter can support up to seven USB devices, but will always report a combined HID device for keyboard/mouse and touchscreen support, and an Audio device for

speakers and microphone support.

USING AUDIO

The DDX system fully supports stereo audio, with all audio devices being presented at the linked host computer as USB audio devices. There are slight differences in audio operation between DDX devices acting in a simple extender arrangement (without the

use of a DDX switch) and a full DDX matrix installation.

Using audio in a simple extender installation

The audio is presented to the computer’s operating system as a USB headset with

controls for input level, input mute, input AGC, sidetone level, sidetone mute, output level, output mute and output balance. The audio device is permanently presented to the

computer when the DDX-CAM module powers up. You can adjust the audio features using all of the standard operating system controls.

Note: Due to the architecture of the Codec, adjusting the input (microphone) level or muting the input (microphone) will also affect the sidetone level and mute.

Using audio in a full DDX matrix installation

Audio functionality is enabled by default on all computers. For multi-head computers, audio is only enabled for the primary transmitter, although two audio devices will be presented to the computer, one for each transmitter. For multi-head consoles, audio is only enabled for the primary receiver.

Managing audio in multi-user situations

• In all connection modes, the audio output of the computer is routed to the receiver

from the transmitter.

• In View Only and Shared modes, the receiver input audio is ignored.

• In Exclusive and Private modes, the receiver input audio is routed to the transmitter.

Note: The above is equivalent to routing the output audio as per the video and the input audio as per the USB (except in View Only and Shared modes, where the input audio stream is ignored).

When viewing the OSD selection screen, input and output audio is suppressed. The user who is currently in control of a computer can adjust the audio levels using the

standard operating system audio features; their changes will affect the audio for all other users viewing the same computer. Additional users connected in View Mode, or additional Shared Access users who don’t have control, can listen to the audio but at the volume dictated by the main user. As a user switches between machines, their audio levels are

automatically adjusted to match their current connection.

APPENDIX 1 - LINK CABLE INTERFERENCE PROTECTION

While the Category rating (e.g. CAT 5e, CAT 6a, CAT 7, etc.) determines the electrical performance of a cable, another vital part of the overall cable specication is its protection from interference. As cabling distances and data rates increase, so too does the susceptibility to interference, from both external and internal

sources. Proximity to other electromagnetic sources are the main external

threat and these can be subdued using overall screening that surrounds all four of the cable pairs. However, interference is also

possible from neighbouring twisted pairs within the same cable and this can be just as hazardous to data integrity. Such crosstalk is countered by shielding each cable pair separately.

Within each Category rating, you can specify different

combinations of external screening and internal shielding to suit

the environment into which the link is being placed.

Interference protection codes

APPENDIX 2 - FIRMWARE UPGRADES FOR BASIC EXTENDER INSTALLATIONS

Extender systems (or individual DDX-USR units) can be upgraded using a USB stick if

required. This is carried out as follows: 1 Connect the DDX-USR to a compatible display and keyboard; optionally connect to a

DDX-CAM module using a Shielded CAT6a or CAT7 data cable to upgrade it at the same time.

2 On the DDX-USR unit, insert a FAT32-formatted USB stick containing the extender

rmware upgrade le into one of the front USB ports. Note: The extender rmware upgrade le must be in the root folder.

3 Apply power to the DDX-USR unit and DDX-CAM modules.  IMPORTANT: Ensure power remains uninterrupted throughout the upgrade process. 4 Press-and-hold the recessed reset button for ten seconds until the PWR indicator

begins to ash quickly, then release the reset button.

5 When prompted, type in the name of the extender rmware upgrade le and press

Enter.

6 Type Y or N as appropriate, when asked if an attached (DDX-CAM) transmitter unit

should also be upgraded. 7 The display will show the upgrade progress and conrmation message. 8 If successful the DDX-USR and DDX-CAM modules will automatically be rebooted

and the USB stick can be removed.
