PANEL DESCRIPTIONS

1 Front Panel USB

These connectors provide easy access to USB connections of PC1 and PC2 independently

of the changeover system. These ports are available at all times and connect through

the GPI/MIDI connection on the rear panel (21 and 21). Please note that these ports are

USB1.1 compliant only (12Mbps)

2 MIDI Present indicator

This indicator will illuminate when a midi message is sent to the midi output of the

changeover unit

3 GPI Indicators

These indicators will illuminate when a GPI is activated. GO, STOP, PREVIOUS and NEXT

are accessed from the joystick port, GPI 1-8 from the GPI port on the rear of the unit.

4 PC2 (Master Changeover)

Activating this button will result in the unit changing all connections from PC1 to PC2.

When this button is illuminated PC2 is selected. This button changes over KVM, MIDI in

and out and GPI connections. (Subject to status of buttons5 & 6 see below)

5 Independent Data Changeover

This button allows the changeover of MIDI in and out and GPI control without switching

the KVM facilities. When illuminated MIDI and GPI control are active from PC2. This

button operates in conjunction with the PC2 Master Changeover button (4).

6 Independent KVM Changeover

This button allows the changeover of Keyboard, Video Displays and Mouse without

switching the MIDI and GPI facilities. When illuminated KVM is active from PC2. This

button operates in conjunction with the PC2 Master Changeover button (4).

8 | Page

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The Master changeover operates in conjunction with both KVM and DATA

changeover buttons from their current state. Hence when the Master changeover

button is activated both KVM and DATA changeovers change state from their

current position. Because of this it is possible to get out of sync if operating the

unit remotely. Users should make sure before a show that when the PC2 button is

pressed both DATA and KVM buttons are illuminated.

7. Status Display Indicator

This LCD display provides information as to the outputs and health status of the XUSB-

2. Each time an input contact is activated the display registers the MIDI event

generated. The display will also indicate PSU faults and default MIDI channel

assignment.

8 Mains IEC connection

The XUSB-2 requires 110Vac – 240Vac at 50Hz main supply.

9 Remote Connector

This four pin XLR connector allows for remote changeover of the system and an

additional latching relay output for changeover of further connected units.

Pins 1 & 2 provide a momentary contact allowing changeover of the PC2 master

changeover function.

Pins 3 & 4 provide a latching relay output which is closed when PC2 master

changeover is activated.

10 VIDEO output A & B

These 15pin VGA connectors provide dual head VGA outputs from the KVM switch.

11 VIDEO inputs 1A&B and 2A&B

These 15pin VGA connectors provide dual head VGA inputs to the KVM switch. VGA

from PC1 should be connected to 1A and 1B. PC2 connected to 2A and 2B.

12 USB Console Connectors

These connectors allow connection of a USB mouse and Keyboard that will be switched

between PC1 and PC2. Other USB devices may work but are not supported at this time.

13/14 Keyboard & Mouse USB Connections

These connections should be made to PC1 and PC2 respectively. They facilitated the

keyboard and mouse control of both PC’s. DATA control is transported by an additional

USB cable and connected to the DATA/GPI ports (20/21).

15 GPI Connector

This connector allows for additional General Purpose inputs that can be used to control

additional effects. The connector is wired to allow use of standard Analogue Audio

Dtype cables.

This facility allows for pseudo tracking via MIDI. See 19 for more details.

18 GPI Link Indicator

When illuminated any GPI messages received by the unit connector to be passed to both

PC1 and PC2 regardless of Master Changeover Switch. This facility allows for pseudo
