System introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics CrystalView DVI Fiber KVM
station extender. The CrystalView DVI Fiber is the KVM extender of choice for
businesses that need to extend and operate a computer, server, or KVM
switch from a great distance. The CrystalView DVI Fiber makes this possible
by the use of singlemode or multimode fiber cable. You can fully operate and
control a computer or server from as far away as 6 miles using 9µm
singlemode fiber. The CrystalView DVI Fiber supports all combinations of
DVI-D monitors and video cards. Models are available with PS/2 or USB
keyboard and mouse connectors, single video, dual video, singlemode, or
multimode fiber.

The system consists of two Units, a transmitter and a receiver. The
transmitter connects to your CPUs keyboard, DVI monitor, and mouse
connectors, or to a Rose KVM switch*. The receiver connects to a keyboard,
DVI video monitor and mouse or KVM station. The transmitter and receiver
are connected together with fiber optic cable. The receiver can be up to
33,000 feet from the transmitter using 9.0µm Singlemode-Fiber.

All models are available with transmitter and receiver KVM access. With
transmitter KVM access, an additional KVM station to be connected to the
transmitter unit.

Using the CrystalView DVI Fiber to remotely access your computer has
several advantages over conventional extenders. The CrystalView DVI Fiber
transmits data digitally which provides a clear, sharp picture. Computers
used in hazardous industrial environments can be accessed remotely,
keeping the users safe and unexposed to any hazards. Unlike extenders
using CAT5 cable, fiber optic cable protects the data integrity from EMI
interference.
