OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating instructions

Once the transmitter and receiver units are connected and configured, the KVM station will function as if it were directly connected to a CPU or KVM switch. All applications, upgrades and PC configurations can be performed normally. If your transmitter is connected to a KVM switch, refer to the switches manual for the proper method of switching to different CPU ports.

Operating instructions – Local KVM access

The CrystalView Pro Fiber with local KVM access allows an additional KVM station to be connected to the transmitter. The CPU or KVM switch can easily be operated from the remote KVM station or the local KVM station but not simultaneously. The transmitter is active during boot-up and the connected CPUs video is displayed on both the transmitter and remote KVM stations monitor. The local monitor video displays the computer video (no DVI to VGA or VGA to DVI conversion). To activate the receiver’s KVM station, simply press any key on the KVM stations keyboard. To activate the transmitters KVM station, press any key on the KVM station’s keyboard.

Private Mode

On PC (PS/2) systems, a user at one console can lock out the other console by triggering a ‘Private Mode’ function. This prevents the inactive console from being used, even if the inactivity timeout period expires.

To start a Private Mode session on a console, press the ‘hot’ key command sequence: <Ctrl> + <Shift> + <Scroll Lock>

On the other console, to indicate that a Private Mode session has been started, the extender system:

Illuminates the keyboards Num, Caps, and Scroll Lock LEDs

Displays a blank image on the console’s monitor.

Locks the keyboard and mouse.

To end the Private Mode session, press the ‘hot’ key command sequence again.

Frame Rates

Normally the data rate of a DVI video card is much higher than the transfer rate of the CrystalView pro fiber modules, consequentially, not every frame of the graphic card is transferred. Stating with a recognized VS-signal, the next complete frame generated by the graphic card is digitized (VGA only) and temporally stored, transmitted to the receiver using the available net data rate and displayed. Images generated by the graphic card during the transfer are discarded (frame dropping). The resulting frame rate is approximately 15 fps. Reducing the screen resolution will increase the frame rate, increasing the screen resolution will decrease the frame rate.

crystalview dvi pro fiber dvi/vga fiber extender specifications

The Rose Electronic CrystalView DVI Pro Fiber DVI/VGA Fiber Extender is a highly advanced solution designed to transmit high-quality video signals over long distances using fiber optic technology. This device is particularly useful for applications in industries such as broadcasting, education, and corporate environments, where high-resolution video needs to be delivered reliably across significant distances without degradation.

One of the standout features of the CrystalView DVI Pro is its ability to transmit DVI and VGA signals up to an impressive distance of 1,000 feet (300 meters) over a single mode fiber cable. This impressive range ensures that users can extend their video signals across large venues or buildings without loss of quality or reliability.

The CrystalView DVI Pro Fiber Extender supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, making it suitable for high-definition displays and multimedia applications. This high resolution ensures that users enjoy crisp, clear visuals regardless of the content being displayed. Additionally, the unit is equipped with built-in EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management, allowing for seamless integration with various displays and projectors while automatically configuring optimal settings.

The technology behind the CrystalView DVI Pro ensures minimal latency and interference, making it an ideal choice for live events or presentations where timing is critical. By utilizing fiber optic cables, the device is largely immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), a common issue faced by traditional copper cable extenders. This electromagnetic resilience makes the unit suitable for environments with high levels of electronic noise.

Another key characteristic of the Rose Electronic extender is its compact and durable design. The unit is designed for easy installation and portability, featuring a lightweight chassis that allows for convenient setup in various environments, whether it be a classroom, conference room, or control center.

Moreover, the CrystalView DVI Pro operates with low power consumption, further enhancing its efficiency and appeal for long-term use in installations. With its state-of-the-art performance, versatility, and ease of use, the Rose Electronic CrystalView DVI Pro Fiber DVI/VGA Fiber Extender stands out as a premier choice for professionals seeking reliable video signal transmission solutions without compromise on quality.
