InfoComm Best of Show Awards: 2017

Recognizing outstanding products exhibited at the 2017 InfoComm Show

Adder Technology // Adder CCS-PRO8

The CCS-PRO8 creates a single workspace from up to eight different computers, across eight (or more) different screens, all controlled via a single keyboard and mouse, improving desk ergonomics and user efficiency and accuracy. It features seamless Free Flow connectivity, allowing users to move a mouse pointer across screen borders to target and manage the selected computer. This concept of seamless connectivity also applies to the CCS-PRO8 audio mixing function, which allows operators to nominate audio levels from each connected computer, meaning audio alerts can be heard even when the computer is not in active use. The keep-alive function also enables all connected computers to be set to stay awake, making it ideal for long work periods and mission critical applications. Judges pegged this for control rooms and monitoring applications.

AptoVision // BlueRiver NT1000
