The CrystalView USB2 is a very versatile CATx extender. Single, dual, and
quad video and up to four USB devices can be extended up to 150 feet from
the controlling computer. A standard USB hub can be connected to increase
the number of USB devices. All video signals are automatically adjusted for
equalization, gain, and skew (optional). The CATx cable length is calculated
and the video automatically adjusted for a crystal clear display regardless of the
CATx cable type or cable length.

Operating instructions- All models
Operation of your system is no different than having your keyboard, monitor,
mouse and USB devices connected directly to a PC. The only difference is
they can be up to 150 feet away. You can operate your system normally,
programs can be executed, maintenance can be performed, and any operation
normally performed can be done with no derogation in video quality and
performance.
The video signal on all models can be fine tuned using simple keyboard
commands. This is normally not needed but sometimes cable routing and
patch panels can degrade the video signal. Next to each video in port (HD15M)
on the transmitter there is a USB Type A port labeled AUX/KBD. To execute
the keyboard commands, connect a USB keyboard to the appropriate
AUX/KBD port. The AUX/KBD port is for video adjustments only. Once the
video has been adjusted perform the keyboard command Left Ctrl, Left Shift, k
to save the information.
