The CrystalView Plus is available in several models; single, dual, and quad
video models and the PC-Serial/Audio model. The local access version allows
an additional KVM station to be connected to the Local Unit.
The CrystalView Plus system consists of two Units, a Local Unit and a Remote
Unit. The Local Unit connects to your CPU and one or two video sources or a
Rose switch. The Remote Unit connects to a keyboard, one to four video
monitors and a mouse. The Local and Remote Units are connected together
with industry standard CAT-5, CAT-5e, or CAT-6 shielded or unshielded, solid
core twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ45 connectors. All models can extend
the distance from the CPU up to 1,000 feet. CAT-x cable
Serial/Audio models can connect a pair of
stereo speakers, a microphone, and a
supported serial device. Serial and audio
support is on the remote unit port #1 only.

The video from each connected computer can be adjusted using simple
keyboard commands shown in the keyboard command table.
Adjusting the video consists of:
1. Enter the Command Mode
2. Select the video channel to adjust
3. Display the test card at http://www.rose.com/htm/crvtestcard.htm or
create a straight line graphic that is equally divided into three color
parts, RED, GREEN, and BLUE
4. Adjust the RED, GREEN, and BLUE delay to align the three colors
5. Observe the “H” in the lower left corner of the test card or display some
text on a white background.
6. Adjust the LF and HF Equalization to eliminate smearing or bright
streaks
7. Save the settings
8. On the dual and quad models, select the next video channel to adjust
and perform steps 3 – 7 on this and all other channels.
