System introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics
CrystalView
DVI Plus Fiber
KVM station extender. The CrystalView
DVI Plus 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 Plus makes
this possible by the use of multimode fiber cable. You can fully operate and
control a computer or server and your USB peripherals from as far away as
1/4 mile using 50µm multimode fiber. The CrystalView
DVI Plus supports
all combinations of DVI-D monitors and video cards. Models are available
with USB keyboard and mouse connectors, single video or dual video, USB
2.0 support, and all models use multimode fiber.
The extenders support DVI graphical interfaces in an uncompressed mode.
The uncompressed transfer of DVI data results in a display with no picture
corruption or frame dropping at full speed. Video movements are smooth
even at the highest resolution.
The system consists of two Units, a transmitter and a receiver. The
transmitter connects to your CPUs USB connector and the DVI monitor
connector. The receiver connects to a USB keyboard, mouse, DVI video
monitor and supported USB peripherals. The transmitter and receiver are
connected together with fiber optic cable. The receiver can be up to 1,300
feet from the transmitter using 50.0µm Multimode-Fiber.
