System Overview
The CrystalView HD system consists of two units; a transmitter and a
receiver. The transmitter connects to your computer’s HDMI
®
video
connector and a USB Type A connector. The receiver connects to an
HDMI
®
display, and three USB devices. The transmitter and receiver units
are connected together with up to 330 feet of CAT5 or better UTP cable.
Normally two of the USB devices are a USB keyboard and USB mouse.
The other USB port can connect to another USB device such as a USB
printer, scanner, USB hard drive, web cam, and many other compatible USB
devices. If more than three USB devices need to be connected, you can
connect up to 4 USB hub levels and 13 USB devices max to the unit. Keep
in mind that each of the three USB ports on the receiver supplies a
maximum of 500 ma per port. If you connect a four port hub to the unit, the
hub receives 500 ma or 125ma per USB port. A powered hub may be
needed if you have several high power USB devices that only use the USB
port power.
