Introduction
Perfect for any training or classroom
environment, ClassView allows instructors to view, share, control,
disable, freeze, show, transfer, or scan their students’ computers
throughout the classroom. ClassView consists of a teacher’s unit
and multiple students’ units. The ClassView units are connected
together with a single bus cable.
Installation
ClassView is easy to install. Simply connect the
instructor's and each student's computer to each ClassView unit
using the Rose UltraCable. Connect the ClassViews together using
the bus cable. Set the address of each student's unit from the front
panel dip switches and power the units on. The yellow status lights
on the front of each unit will flash to show that the units are
networked together. Your installation is now complete.
Cables
Rose’s UltraCable streamlines the cable connections to
ClassView, simplifying cable management and improving system
reliability. Each unit comes with a CPU adapter cable, KVM cable,
and bus cable. Connections between the units use high quality
13W3 video connectors for crystal clear video even at long
distances.
Operation
The ClassView is easy to operate and provides the
instructor and students the ability to view and share information
among workstations. The instructor can view any student's station,
interact with any student's station, or control a student's station. A
very useful feature of the ClassView is the instructor can invoke the
show mode and display their screen to a single student's station or
all students' stations. This feature is ideal for showing students
exactly how to perform a task. The transfer mode allows interaction
between the student's stations. This feature is ideal when the
students are working on a group project.
Video
The ClassView system can drive KVM signals up to 100
feet away. Supports video resolution up to 1280 x 1024. There is an
adjustable time-out for the video that automatically turns off the
video after 1-999 seconds of inactivity.
Keyboard and Mouse
ClassView supports full emulation of the
keyboard and mouse. The computer’s mouse type can be a PS/2 or
serial mouse. You simply program each unit to use either a serial or PS/2
mouse. Programming students’ units is easily performed from the
teacher's unit. Once you program any setting, you can save it in non-
volatile memory with the keep command.
Front Panel
The front panel has dip switches which set the
student's address. The value of this address is used by the teacher
to switch to the student's computer. The power LED lights green to
indicate that the unit is powered on. The status LED on each unit is a
useful diagnostic indicator that should flash at one-second intervals
to indicate that the units are properly connected together. The
indicator also flashes when keyboard and mouse data is sent. The
send LED, when lit, indicates that video from the computer is being
sent to other units. One or more units may be receiving the video.
Options
The unit is rack mountable with 19”, 23”, and 24” rack
kits available. There is an RS232 port on each unit. This can be used
in conjunction with various auxiliary equipment such as keypads,
audio switches, and other equipment. Call to discuss your
application.
