INTRODUCTION Disclaimer While every precaution has been taken in the preparation of this manual, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions. Neither does the manufacturer assume any liability for damages resulting from the use of the information contained herein. The manufacturer reserves the right to change the specifications, functions, or circuitry of the product without notice.
Features Perfect image quality at resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz (The 2.5GBit option allows a resolution up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz) Extend a KVM station from a computer up to: 650 feet (200m) over 62.
DVI or VGA The CrystalView Pro Fiber is designed to work with any combination of VGA and DVI video cards and monitors. The ideal configuration is using a DVI video card, a TFT monitor and DVI video cables. With this configuration, no adjustments are needed. A set-up procedure may be needed if you are using a VGA video card and a TFT, DVI monitor or a DVI video card and a VGA monitor. The installation section of this manual describes these procedures for different combinations of equipment and cables.

OPTICAL ELEMENTS / CABLES Optical Elements The Multimode models are Class 1 laser products and comply with IEC 825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 The Singlemode models are Class 1 laser products and comply with IEC 60825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 The optical ports of the modules must be terminated with an optical connector or with a dust plug. Cables Transmitter to computer A CPU adapter cable connects from the transmitter to a computer’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports.
ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD) Device Control –OSD (PS/2 model only) (See Appendix G for OSD access for the USB models) The on-screen display provides an easy way to define the following parameters: 1. Input select, graphic source, VGA of DVI 2. Scale mode 3. Brightness, contrast, and Back level 4. Colors 5. Color temperature 6. Color depth 7. Image, pixelclock, phase, screen position 8. Tools, Reset to factory defaults 9. Auto configuration 10.
OSD Menu descriptions Menu descriptions The input select menu is the first menu to display when the OSD is activated. This menu allows you to select the graphic source type. This is typically the video card type (VGA or DVI). Use the left or right arrow key to select the video source (VGA or DVI) to be used by the transmitter and press Enter. The actual video source will be displayed with a check mark next to the source Figure 4.
The receiver will always generate an exact reproduction of the source signal (up to the max resolution of the unit) if the Fixed Resolution is set to “OFF”. The fixed resolution setting should be used if the monitor resolution on the receiver is not capable of displaying the resolution sent by the transmitter.
The color and color temperature menu can automatically calibrate for the best color parameters or be set manually. Figure 7.
The image selection menu allows re-positioning of the image, for manually adjusting the number of pixels per line (pixel clock), and manually adjusting the phase This option is only available with a VGA source. No adjustments are needed for a DVI source. Figure 8. Image menu Automatically detects the number of pixels per line and the best phase. (Best point within each pixel for A/D conversion) Manually adjust the number of pixels per line (pixel clock) Manually adjust for the best phase.
The Tools menu allows you to adjust the OSD position, reset to factory defaults, adjust sharpness, and other parameters. Figure 9. Tools menu Manually adjust the OSD Manually adjust the Horizontal OSD position Manually adjust the Vertical OSD position OSD size – Select single or double size Reset to factory defaults Manually adjust sharpness (Effective on fixed scaling only) Auto-detect the number of pixels and automatically adjust the phase when switching to different computers.
Color depth of the source screen picture Low color mode: this mode allows high frame rates, select for fast screen changes (i.e.video). Transmitting on CAT-5 with 5 vits/color = 15 bits total = 32768 colors. High color mode: This mode allows for low frame rates only, select for exact picture display (i.e. medical). Transmitting on CAT-5 with 7 bits/color = 21 bits total = 2.1M colors.
INSTALLATION Installation Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any installation or configuration of the CrystalView Pro Fiber. NOTE: If your CPU uses a DVI video card and the KVM station’s monitor is a TFT (flat panel) DVI monitor, pixelclock and phase adjustments should not be needed. Refer to the set-up section for mixed VGA and DVI equipment installation. The CrystalView Pro Fiber’s design does not support plug & play on the local KVM access models.
Refer to Figure 11 for the set-up for your system application. A. 1- Connect the appropriate CPU cable to the keyboard, video monitor and mouse ports on the CPU and to the corresponding ports on the transmitter. 2- Connect the transmitter to the receiver with cable defined for your system (CAT-5 or Fiber optic) 3- Connect the KVM stations keyboard, video monitor, and mouse cables to the corresponding connectors on the receiver unit. B.
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.
Pixel clock set correctly Pixel clock set incorrectly Pixel clock set incorrectly Phase set incorrectly Table 3. Pixel clock /phase examples If one or more vertical areas have smeared lines, the pixelclock needs adjusting. If there is horizontal noise lines, flicker or smearing with a zebra-pattern, the phase needs adjusting. First, manually adjust the pixelclock. Start the OSD and select the “IMAGE” icon. Next, select the “Manually adjust the number of pixels per line” icon, then press enter.

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.
