Dual user configuration
You can combine two Adder X-USBPRO (or X-USBPRO-MS2) 
extender sets to create a dual user configuration. Such an 
installation would allow a single computer to be controlled from 
two different positions, with each position receiving the same audio 
visual output and having equal and concurrent control over the 
computer. Arbitration between the two positions is handled by the 
computer’s USB system and so this...

Video display (DDC) information
The Display Data Channel (or DDC) is an industry standard scheme that \
allows 
video displays to declare their capabilities to the computer’s video \
adapter 
circuitry, allowing the latter to optimise their outputs accordingly. Si\
nce the 
widespread adoption of the scheme, video adapters have become increasing\
ly 
dependent on receiving relevant DDC information during startup, before t\

Operation
General use
In use, the X-USBPRO (and X-USBPRO-MS2) modules should be transparent \
- the 
system and its peripherals should operate exactly as normal, the only di\
fference 
being that they are now up to 300 metres apart. 
In some installations, you may see some ‘shadows’ to the right of \
high contrast 
screen characters. This can be caused by an incorrect video compensation\
 
setting and it may be necessary to make...
