The CrystalView™ DVI CATx Advantage
The CrystalView DVI CATx 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 CATx makes this possible by the use
of standard CAT5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable. You can fully operate
and control a computer or server from as far away as 400
feet using standard CATx cable. It supports all
combinations of DVI-D monitors and video cards.
The system consists of two units; a transmitter and a
receiver. The transmitter connects to your CPU’s
keyboard, DVI-D monitor, and mouse connectors, or to a
Rose KVM switch. The receiver connects to a keyboard,
DVI-D video monitor and mouse or KVM station. The
transmitter and receiver are connected together with CATx
industry standard cable. The receiver can be up to 400
feet from the transmitter using CAT5, 5e, 6, or 7 cables.
All models are available with both transmitter and receiver
KVM access. The transmitter’s KVM access allows an
additional KVM station to be connected to the transmitter
unit. If your system requires dual video, the CrystalView
DVI CATx dual video model can fully support it. If you
need to extend your serial device or audio the CrystalView
DVI CATx serial and audio model can support this feature.

CrystalView DVI CATx basics The CrystalView DVI CATx
system consists of a transmitter that connects to a PC, server, or KVM
switch and a receiver that connects to a keyboard, monitor, and mouse
or a KVM switch. The transmitter and receiver units are connected
together with up to 400 feet of standard CATx cable.
The ideal way to apply the CrystalView DVI CATx is to connect the
transmitter to a Rose Electronics KVM switch. Expanding the switch
allows the receiver to access up to 1,000 computers or servers.
Models The CrystalView DVI CATx is available in a PS/2 or USB
model. All models allow for a second KVM station to be connected to
the transmitter unit, providing operation from the transmitter or the
receiver unit. The dual video model supports systems that need to
digitally transmit a second video source. Serial and full stereo audio
models provide extended serial and audio support.
Installation Installing the CrystalView DVI CATx units is as easy as
connecting the KVM station to the receiver, connecting the CPU t o the
transmitter, and connecting the transmitter to the receiver with CATx
cable.
Keyboard and Mouse emulation The CrystalView DVI CATx
uses a microprocessor to emulate the keyboar d and mouse. Only the
transmitter unit has to be connected for the PC to boot properly.
