CrystalView DVI Multi Installation and Operations Manual
Product Installation
 
Figure 1 shows a typical installation of the CrystalView DVI Multi using the 
x2 model. All models install in the same manor. The x1 model uses 1 
CAT6 cable from the transmitter to one receiver; the x2 model uses 2 
CAT6 cables from the transmitter to two receivers; the x4 model uses 4 
CAT6 cables from the transmitter to four receivers; the x8 model uses 8 
CAT6 cables from the transmitter to eight receivers. Each CAT6 cable can 
be up to 220 feet in length. It is recommended that all monitors connected 
to the receiver unit(s) (1, 2, 4, or 8) be the same make, model, and type of 
monitor. 
EDID Learning procedure
The CrystalView DVI Multi has its own built-in EDID table and uses these 
monitor specifications in place of the actual monitor’s EDID specifications. 
The Transmitter unit can “Learn” the monitor’s EDID specifications and 
provide these to the computer so the correct resolutions and refresh rates 
can be used. 
To set-up the Transmitter to “Learn” the monitor’s EDID specifications, 
connect the DVI monitor to the DVI-OUT connector on the transmitter and 
apply power to the Transmitter. On power-up the CrystalView DVI Multi 
will read and store the EDID specifications of any monitor connected to the 
DVI-OUT connector. 
If no monitor is connected to the DVI OUT connector during power-up, the 
internal EDID information is not modified.
