INSTALLATION Unit Installation The installation guide section describes a typical installation for all four models. See the installation section for your particular model. It is recommended that power to all equipment be off until all cabling is in place. Refer to Figure 5 Single head (USB-HID model) Installation Transmitter Installation 1. Connect the supplied DVI-D male-to-male cable from the computer’s DVI video out connector to the Transmitter’s DVI-D video in connector. 2.
Dual head (USB-HID model) Installation Transmitter Installation 1. Connect the two supplied DVI-D male-to-male cables from the computer’s DVI video out connectors to the two Transmitter’s DVI-D video in connectors. 2. Connect the two supplied USB Type A to Type B cables from a USB port on the computer to the two USB Type A connectors on the Transmitter. 3. Connect the supplied power adapter to the Transmitter. (Do not apply power at this time) Receiver Installation 4.
Single head (USB-2.0 model) Installation Transmitter Installation 1. Connect the supplied DVI-D male-to-male cable from the computer’s DVI video out connector to the Transmitter’s DVI-D video in connector. 2. Connect the supplied USB Type A to Type B cable from a USB port on the computer to the USB Type A connector on the Transmitter. 3. Connect the supplied power adapter to the Transmitter. (Do not apply power at this time) Receiver Installation 4.

When all cabling is in place, power up the system in the following recommended sequence: 1. Monitor(s) 2. Receiver unit 3. Transmitter unit 4. Computer Dip Switch Settings The configuration Dip-Switches are located on the front panel of the transmitter and the receiver units. The Dip-Switches on the transmitter are used to set the monitor resolution. The default switch setting (Automatic control - #1 and #2 Off) will automatically adapt to the remote monitor resolution.
Receiver Dip-switch settings The receiver Dip-switches are used to adjust the CATx cable length. The installation cable should be Type AWG24. Patch cables or flexible CATx cables (AWG26/7) may be used but this reduces the cable distance by approximately 50%. Keep this in mind when adding flexible cabling. The default switch setting is preset for automatic adjustment. This setting is acceptable for most configurations.
Command Mode The command mode is not available on the USB-2.0 single head model. It is used to initiate an automatic readjustment of the transmission parameters and read the DDC information from the attached monitor. The command mode is invoked by pressing the Left Shift key twice, then the hot key. + is the default key sequence to invoke the command mode. This can be changed to 1 of 7 key sequences. While in the command mode, the Shift and Scroll LEDs will flash.
DDC Information The CrystalView DVI Mini has preset DDC information that is sent to the source computer. If this factory preset DDC information is not appropriate, you can read the attached monitor’s DDC information and the CrystalView DVI mini will use these values. There are two ways to read the DDC information from the attached monitor. 1. Using keyboard commands during operation 2.
Compatibility Information The CrystalView DVI Mini is compatible with the following: Video DVI-D SingleLink TMDS Signal Levels Mouse USB 2-button USB 3-button USB wheel Keyboard Standard keyboards Keyboards with built-in USB Hubs Keyboards with enhanced features may be supported but support for all HID devices can not guaranteed USB-HID models Supports HID devices only ie. Keyboards, mice, Touch Screens, Graphic tablets, barcode readers, etc.
