AHD-CUC Universal CAN Converter 

 

Structure and Function

3.2.2  Example 2 

In this example, two separately functioning PCs are connected 
next to one another. These are meant to be controllable from two 
separate helms (A & B). Since the AHD-CUCs only take a com-
mand’s target monitor ID into account, this can be accomplished 
without any problem. If the command contains the ID of a display 
which is currently set to an external video source, the received 
command is transmitted as a mouse and keyboard command via 
USB. 

In theory, any number of additional AHD-CUCs can be installed on 
a bridge. 

 

 

 

Application example 2 for the AHD-CUC 

 

 

TIP! 

The Universal CAN Converter is currently not com-
patible with PCs using the Windows 7 operating 
system.
