Introduction

The AdderView Prism provides a flexible method for allowing 
two or more users to share resources. Depending on how it is 
connected, the AdderView Prism can be used to drive up to 
four video displays (

video splitting

), allow up to four users to 

access a KVM switch (

resource sharing

) or, in conjunction with 

other similar units and KVM switches, provide the opportunity 
for many users to connect with many different systems (

square 

matrix

).

AdderView Prism supports a wide 280MHz bandwidth that can 
support very high screen resolutions of 1600 x 1280 and even 
1900 x 1440 (with standard cables). When long cable runs (of 
up to 30m) are required, AdderView Prism features a video boost 
option to ensure that picture quality remains crisp.
Thanks to smart power control, the use of the supplied external 
power supply is optional for most applications. This can be 
handy when spare power sockets are not close at hand.     
AdderView Prism uses standard connectors throughout for quick 
and easy connection to host systems and peripherals alike.

One host or many

AdderView Prism can just as easily connect to 
a single host system or, via a KVM switch, to 
many systems.  

Up to four users served on a first come basis

Up to four users can simultaneously view the output from the host system. Any of the users 
can take control of the host, providing it is not being used by one of the others. A user 
relinquishes control two seconds after their last key press or mouse movement.  

Main KVM connection

Power is optional

AdderView Prism is supplied 
with a power supply, however, 
its use is optional because 
power can also be derived from 
the keyboard connection of the 
host system.
