Adder Technology Adder ADDERView PRO vs Adder Technology AdderView DDX10: Comparison

Adder ADDERView PRO vs AdderView DDX10: the usb hub ports difference

Usb hub ports is where these two genuinely part company, Adder ADDERView PRO 2 against AdderView DDX10 1, a 50% lead for Adder ADDERView PRO. Adder ADDERView PRO also leads on max resolution, 2560x1600 on the Adder ADDERView PRO versus 1920x1200 on the AdderView DDX10. Max resolution single display runs the same way, 2560x1600 on the Adder ADDERView PRO versus 1920x1200 on the AdderView DDX10, another win for Adder ADDERView PRO.

Who each one is for

The Adder ADDERView PRO is the one to take for budget-conscious desks needing basic isolated switching between 4 DVI machines and legacy DVI workstations that haven't moved to DisplayPort/HDMI, though it is the wrong buy for users needing simultaneous multi-screen viewing (see the CCS-MV4224) and modern DisplayPort/HDMI-only hardware. Avoid it for desks requiring formal NIAP/Common Criteria certification (see the Cybex SC800 line). Buy the AdderView DDX10 for small server rooms or departments needing independent multi-user matrix access and facilities scaling into matrix KVM without the DDX30's larger cost, though it is not the pick for larger installations needing more than 9 computers (see the DDX30) and single-user desks that just need simple switching, not a matrix. It also earns its place with broadcast or lab setups with up to 9 computers and a few user stations. Our rating of the Adder ADDERView PRO (7/10): an affordable way to add isolated switching to a 4-port DVI desk without paying for certification or multiviewer features.
