Installation CONNECTIONS INSTALLATION All connections are made at the rear panel. Use only approved shielded cables, particularly for the video connections. Ensure that all connections are made before applying power.
Computer connections The secure switch has four computer ports, each of which consists of: one DVI video link, a USB link and an audio connection. The unit supports single link DVI video input resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz. 3 Insert one of the supplied 3.5mm audio cables between the audio input socket and the speaker output on the computer.
Console connections The video display(s), keyboard, mouse and speakers are attached to the various connectors on the rear panel that constitute the console port. The unit supports video display resolutions up to 3840 x 2160. .5A RC To make console connections 1 Attach the primary video display to the HDMI connector marked ‘1’. 2 Where a secondary video display is also to be used, repeat step 1 for the HDMI connector marked ‘2’. INSTALLATION U 4 Insert the lead from the console speakers into the 3.
Power connection The RCU port allows the switch unit to be connected to, and controlled by an external source. Refer to the API Manual (MAN-000022) for programming detail. IMPORTANT: Ensure that the video displays connected to the secure switch are powered on before applying power to the secure switch itself. The supplied power adapter uses a locking-type plug to help prevent accidental disconnection from the secure switch; please follow the instructions below when disconnecting the power adapter. 12V 2.
GENERAL CONFIGURATION The secure multi-viewer switch defaults to an output resolution of 3840 x 2160. If you are using a display which only supports smaller resolutions, you will need to configure the output resolution to match.
To exit the OSD 1 Click the X in the top right corner or press the Esc key. OSD pages The OSD options are separated into four distinct pages: • Video Settings • Channel Settings • USB Settings • Advanced Operation • System Information Security level tag To change the channel names and security level tags 1 Access the OSD and change to the Channel Settings page (see page 14). 2 Use the Channel Name and/or Security Level options to choose your required settings.

This will result in a black bar being displayed where the window aspect ratio differs.
OSD - Channel Settings To get here 1 On the console keyboard, enter the following in succession: (upper or lower case accepted) INSTALLATION Channel Color On the front panel there is a numbered button for each channel. To assist with visual feedback for the operator you can change the highlight color for each button and window border color that will be shown as each channel is selected.
OSD - USB Settings To get here 1 On the console keyboard, enter the following in succession: (upper or lower case accepted) INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION CTRL Key Allows you to choose which Ctrl button on the keyboard that will be used as a hotkey. Mouse Mode Defines the behavior of the multi-viewer system. Absolute mode is recommended for most users. Relative mode will disable mouse-based switching; leaving the front panel or hotkeys as the available switching methods.
OSD - Advanced Operation To get here 1 On the console keyboard, enter the following in succession: (upper or lower case accepted) INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION OPERATION Reset to Factory Defaults Removes all user entered configuration details. This operation cannot be undone. Reset Device Effectively reboots the multi-viewer. Note:To avoid accidental resets, press and hold (for roughly 4 seconds).

Operation Displaying windows Channel buttons Status display Audio Hold The Audio Hold button prevents switching the audio port when changing the other console peripherals (keyboard, mouse, video) to another computer channel. This function is useful when you need to listen to the audio from one computer while working on another. Using the front panel computer channel buttons, first connect the console peripherals to the computer from where the audio feed is required.
Managing windows • Press the required channel button on the front panel: In everyday use, the secure switch has two main modes of operation: • User mode - this is the normal mode of operation, where the switch is essentially transparent. This means that your commands pass straight through to interact with the host PC(s), as if you were directly connected to them. • System mode - in this mode, your link with the PC(s) is temporarily suspended and instead you interact directly with the switch.
To move a window Locate the blue mouse cursor anywhere within the window. Press and hold the left mouse button and drag the window to your desired location. Release the left mouse button. To resize a window Place the blue mouse cursor at the lower-right corner of the required window. Press and hold the right mouse button and drag to resize the window up or down accordingly. Release the right mouse key when the window is at the desired size.
