Introduction
The Black Box ServSwitch TDX is a robust keyboard and mouse switch
created specifically for trading floors and control rooms, where
information must be controlled across numerous systems and screens.
The ServSwitch TDX allows a single keyboard and mouse to fulfil the
function that previously required four separate sets. This provides
immediate savings in both desk space and also the time required to
access information spread across up to four systems and screens.
Switching between the systems connected to the ServSwitch TDX can
be achieved in five different ways:
• The ServSwitch TDX unit SELECT button
• The optional Remote control selector
• Keyboard hotkey combinations
• Mouse button combinations
• Automatic switching using the Synchrony utility (see below)
Single keyboard and mouse are common to all
of the systems and are electronically connected
to the required one using any of four switching
methods. Switching can be initiated from either
the keyboard or mouse in addition to the
ServSwitch TDX unit or optional remote control.

The display
clearly shows
which system
is currently
connected to the
keyboard and
mouse.
The keyboard and mouse are
electronically linked through to
the currently selected system.
The video displays are connected directly to their respective
systems as usual. The keyboard and mouse ports of each
system, however, are connected to the ServSwitch TDX unit.

How.does.Synchrony.work?
Automatic switching between systems
When used with Synchrony software, the ServSwitch TDX allows
automatic switching between the connected systems and screens. The
switching between the systems is determined primarily by the position
of the mouse cursor. As the cursor exceeds the periphery of one
screen, control is seamlessly switched to the next screen/system.
This operation
requires all of the
systems to run the
Synchrony utility
and one of them
to be designated
as the ‘primary’.
Additionally, a
serial link is required
between the primary
system and the
ServSwitch TDX.
