Connectors
All connectors are rear mounted to ensure a neat installation and are
colour coded according to the PC99 specification (keyboard=violet, mouse=green,
video=blue) for easy identification. Keyboard and mouse ports use 6-pin
mini-DIN female connectors. Video ports use standard 15-way high-density
D-type connectors. Options port uses 15-way standard D-type connector
with proprietary pin allocation. DC power connector provided for video-only
and other special applications where interface powering is not possible.
Controls
Front panel key for computer selection. Numerical display shows selected
computer and keyboard/mouse activity. Optional remote controller connects
to rear. Base-mounted reset and option switches.
Computer selection
Computers may be selected using the front panel key, keyboard hotkeys,
a three button mouse or wheel mouse, RS232 data commands or the optional
remote controller. The hotkeys are selectable and are designed to be quick-fire
using a minimum number of key presses. The mouse may be used to select
the next or previous computer by holding down the centre button whilst
pressing the left or right button. Both keyboard hotkey and mouse switching
may be independently disabled if required. When cycling through channels
using the mouse or the hotkeys the user may configure the SmartView to
select all ports or just the ports that have powered PCs attached. RS232
switching is useful for automated operation and the remote controller
provides a convenient control method without locating the SmartView on
the desk.
Operation mode
The keyboard, mouse and all the video heads are switched together
so that the keyboard and mouse are controlling the computer whose video
is currently displayed on the monitors.
Keyboard ports
PS/2 or AT style keyboards supported. PS/2 keyboards plug in directly.
AT keyboards require a 6-pin mini-DIN to 5-pin DIN adapter. Automatic
mode emulation and num / caps / scroll updates ensures that the keyboard
is always in the expected state. Modes 1,2 and 3 are supported for full
compatibility. Keyboard data is kept in its native format to ensure support
for additional web control, hot media and other extra keys.
Mouse ports
The controlling PS/2 style mouse plugs directly into the SmartView. SmartView
supports 2 and 3 button mice and most wheel and scroll mice including
the Microsoft IntelliMouse and IntelliMouse Explorer. PS/2 or RS232 mouse
connections to computers may be made in any combination. RS232 mice require
an additional cabling adapter (VSA1). Prompt and stream mode support ensures
compatibility with desktop and laptop PCs. 3 button mice or wheel mice
may optionally be used to switch the SmartView's channel. Continuous port
emulation on non-selected ports ensures problem free computer bootup.
Video ports
High bandwidth video supported at resolutions up to 1920 x 1440. Low distortion
and excellent video transfer characteristic. Supports VGA / SVGA / XGA
/ XGA-2 / SXGA and UXGA video and VESA DDC1 and DDC2 signalling. Screen
saver feature with user selectable "kick in" time.
