SET-UP instructions (Mixed DVI and VGA)

The following set-up instructions are for systems that use a mixture of VGA and DVI products. Systems with DVI video cards, DVI monitors and use DVI cables normally do not require any set-up.

Set-up consists of adjusting the pixelclock first, then adjusting the phase. To properly do this, an appropriate image must be displayed on the monitor. This image should be a simple 8 x 8 pixel image with altering black and white stripes (4 black and 4 white stripes)

You can create this image using a graphics package that can create a picture 8 pixels wide by 8 pixels high. Create 4 black columns 1 pixel wide by 8 pixels high and 4 white columns 1 pixel wide and 8 pixels high. Save this image in the Windows folder as Burst.bmp (C:\WINDOWS\BURST.BMP)

The recommended procedure for setting the pixelclock and phase is to use the OSD, auto-detect feature. To do this, perform the following:

Assign the “Burst.bmp” image you created as your Windows background, and a Tiled display. The desktop should show fine black and white vertical stripes over the total desktop background.

Make all connections (CPU to transmitter, transmitter to receiver, and receiver unit to KVM station.)

(Note: The Remote monitor should not be a TFT flat-panel monitor, it should be a VGA monitor. The CrystalView Pro Fiber digitizes the signals and the TFT monitor also digitizes the signal. Digitizing the signals twice will product invalid results using auto-detect. Once the pixelclock and phase are adjusted, a TFT monitor can be connected.)

Start the OSD (CTRL + Shift + I)

Select Automatic detection of the number of pixels per line and the best phase” then press Enter to start the auto-detect procedure.

If the background image’s black and white stripes are sharp and without jitter or smearing when the auto-detect function completes, no further adjustments are needed. If there is smearing or jitter, the pixelclock and phase must be adjusted manually.

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.
