System Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics  CrystalView DVI Quad , a high-performance, long distance,
multi-function digital KVM Extender with support for multiple desktop peripherals. The CrystalView DVI Quad
makes this possible by the use of CATx or fiber cable. You can fully operate and control a computer from
33,000 feet (10Km) over single mode fiber cable, or from 460 feet (140 meters) using CATx solid-core AWG24
cable.
The CrystalView DVI Quad supports a wide variety of DVI-D monitors and video cards, USB or PS/2
keyboards and mice, and USB 2.0 devices, as well as line level analog audio and serial devices. Up to 4 USB
2.0 peripherals, such as USB speakers, printers, USB mass storage devices and web cameras can be directly
connected to the receiver’s 4 USB ports. Additional USB devices can be connected using a USB hub.
The system consists of two Units, a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter connects to a computer’s DVI-D
video output, USB keyboard and mouse ports, USB 2.0 device ports, audio input and output connectors, and a
serial port. The transmitter also has DVI video outputs for local monitors located close to the host CPU. The
receiver connects directly to DVI-D video displays, a USB keyboard and mouse, USB 2.0 devices, powered
speakers, a microphone, and a serial device. The transmitter and receiver are connected together with industry
standard CATx cable or fiber cable depending on the model.
