DECLARATIONS OF CONFORMITY
This is to certify that, when installed and used according to the instructions in this manual, together with the
specified cables and the maximum CPU cable length < 3m, the Units listed in Appendix B are shielded against
the generation of radio interferences in accordance with the application of Council Directive 2004/108/EC as
well as these standards:
■EN 55022: 2010 Class A for Transmitters and EN 55022: 2010 Class B for Receivers
■EN 61000-3-2: 2006+A2: 2009
■EN 61000-3-3: 2008
■EN 55024: 2010
The CrystalView HDT Transmitter has been found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, and the
Receiver to comply with the limits for a Class B device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The equipment complies with Australia’s and New Zealand’s standards for radio interference, and bears the
C-Tick mark accordingly.

System Introduction
Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics CrystalView HDT. The CrystalView HDT is a standalone device (rack
mountable) which extends HDMI/VGA video signals from connected devices up to 328 ft. (100 m) at
resolutions up to1080p without compression. The Receiver consoles can use USB keyboard and mouse or
Infrared Remotes to control the source devices. CrystalView HDT also supports most USB HID touchscreens.
Incorporating the latest HDMI®technology, the CrystalView HDT transmitter chassis can house from 1 to 6
modular HDMI or VGA input cards. HDMI cards support both 8-bit and 10-bit deep color. VGA cards convert
analog VGA signals and analog stereo audio to HDMI for local monitoring and transmission to Receivers.
CrystalView HDT supports VESA DDC, display Hot-Plug Detect, and HDCP 1.3
In addition to the internal AC power supply, a redundant 48V DC power supply is available for the transmitter
chassis. The Chassis transmitter cards use PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology to supply power to remote
Receivers through the CATx cables. No power adapters are required at the remote locations.
CrystalView HDT Receivers provide a stereo audio output for monitoring (audio in PCM output). Dolby®
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are passed through to HDMI outputs.
Wake-on-LAN software can be used to turn on or wake up computers connected to CrystalView HDT.
QV Link Software Utility can be used with a laptop computer to provide keyboard and mouse control at the
remote Receiver, instead of a standalone USB keyboard and mouse.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CrystalView HDT Manual 6
Installation
The installation of the CrystalView HDT is quick and simple. This section of the manual describes how to
connect the CrystalView HDT to computers and video equipment. While the steps given here need not be
followed in any particular order, it is recommended that power is applied to the unit as a final step.
Basic Setup When Connecting to a Computer
The following figure shows a typical setup of CrystalView HDT Transmitter and Receiver connected to a
remote computer.
Figure 3.Basic Setup When Connecting to a Computer
Up to six computers can be connected to a fully populated CrystalView HDT Transmitter chassis. Please note
that the transmitter cards are numbered from lower left to upper right.Make all connections prior to applying
power to the Transmitter chassis.
■If the computer supports HDMI video, connect an HDMI cable between the computer’s HDMI output and
the HDMI input on an HDMI transmitter card.
■If the computer supports VGA video, connect the proprietary VGA with audio cable to the Computer’s
HD15 VGA connector and analog audio output jack. Plug the other end of the cable to the HD15 connector
on a VGA transmitter card.
■Using a USB Type A to Type B cable, connect a computer’s Type A USB port to the Type B USB port of
the same transmitter card.
■If a video monitor is desired near the video source, connect an HDMI monitor to the Transmitter Card
connector labeled HDMI Loop Out.
■Connect a Cat5e/6 Cable between the transmitter card’s RJ-45 connector (labeled HDBaseT) and the
RJ-45 connector on the remote Receiver.
■Connect an HDMI monitor and a keyboard and mouse to the remote receiver. Though digital audio will be
routed to the HDMI display, there is also an audio monitor jack on the receiver suitable for headphones.
■If desired, keyboard and mouse control can be supplied by a laptop computer running the QV Link
program. Using a USB Type A to Type B cable, connect the laptop computer’s Type A USB port to the
Type B USB port of the remote Receiver
■Apply power to the monitors, the transmitter chassis, and the computer.
