The Adder company is specialized in developing various advanced connectivity solutions, as well as a wide range of extenders and KVM Switches. And they've managed to do quite a good job on the device you're about to see as follows, namely the AdderLink X200, released back in the second half of 2007, an all-in-one machine that combines all of the aforementioned products.



Thus, the X200 has been designed for use in applications where up to two computers can have their keyboard, video, audio and mouse control extended up to 300 m (1000 ft.) across CAT5 or higher UTP cable. The AdderLink X200 provides absolute real time keyboard and mouse performance along with hi-definition, hi-resolution video over a VGA interface. The AdderLink X200 receiver can also be used as a remote user station for the AdderView CATx range of KVM switches.



The device can transmit very high video resolutions over large distances (1920 x 1200 to 50 m (165 ft.), 1600 x 1200 to 200 m (650 ft.) and 1280 x 1024 to 300 m (1000 ft.)), partly due to the included video compensation system (the AdderLink X200 applies 128 steps of signal compensation enabling fine picture adjustments). Furthermore, the X200 offers its own brightness correction to ensure images are crisp, clear and bright and sports an integrated skew correction with a 300MHz bandwidth (1/4 of a pixel movement at 1600 x 1200 resolution). This removes the video skew issues that can be caused by longer CATx cables.



Each of the receivers is fitted with two ports to enable connection to a local and remote computer, or two remote computers. The user can quickly select between these ports using keyboard hotkeys or mouse control. Individual video brightness, compensation and skew settings can be applied to each connection. Furthermore, the 44.1kHz digital stereo audio delivers high fidelity audio for the speakers.



The AdderLink X200 is currently available in three different models (X200-USB/P) 100 m/300 ft. extender pair, USB CAM, no audio, no de-skew, (X200A-USB/P) 100 m/300 ft. extender pair, USB CAM, with audio, no de-skew and (X200AS-USB/P) 300 m/1000 ft. extender pair, USB CAM, with audio and de-skew.
