System introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics CrystalView HD extender.
The CrystalView HD is the KVM extender of choice for businesses that need
to extend and operate a computer, server, or KVM switch from a distance.
The CrystalView HD makes this possible by the use of CAT5 cable. You
can fully operate and control a computer or server from 330 feet away
(100m)). The CrystalView HD suppor ts a wide var iety of HDMI
and video cards. Up to 3 USB peripherals, such as a keyboard, mouse,
speakers, printers, USB mass storage devices and web cameras can be
directly connected to the receiver’s USB ports. Additional USB devices can
be connected using a USB hub. Up to 13 USB devices and 4 USB hubs are
supported.

The system consists of two Units, a transmitter and a receiver. The
transmitter connects to your CPU’s USB port and the HDMI
connector. The receiver normally connects to a HDMI

®

video monitor, a USB
keyboard, a USB mouse, and one other USB device or a USB hub. The
transmitter and receiver are connected together with industry standard
CAT5 cable. The receiver unit can be up to 330 feet (100m) from the
transmitter.

Using the CrystalView HD to remotely access your computer has several
advantages over conventional extenders. The CrystalView HD can access
computers used in hazardous industrial environments. This keeps the users
safe and unexposed to any hazards. It can also be used for interactive
digital signage, remote touchscreen applications and medical environments.
