CrystalView Plus to Rose switch cable To connect a Local Unit to a Rose switch such as a ServeView Pro, UltraMatrix or UltraView Pro, use Rose cable part number CAB-CX0606Cnnn. (DB25F to HD15/PS2/PS2)
Serial cable To connect the Local Unit to the CPUs DB9 serial port, you can use a standard DB9MF serial 1:1 (DTE-DCE) cable. The Remote Units “SERIAL” port is wired as DTE (the same as the CPUs serial port). To connect a serial printer or other DTE devices to the Remote Unit, you will need a Null-modem (crossover) cable between the Remote Unit and the device.
KVM switch, supplemental power should be supplied to the Local Unit. The Local Unit gets its power from the keyboard port of the CPU. Rose Electronics can supply a power transformer that connects to the Local Unit to provide this power.
Connecting the cables LOCAL CABLE SERIAL/AUDIO Figure 6. Single video cabling Local unit to CPU cabling (Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6) The keyboard, video, and mouse ports on the CPU are connected to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports on the CrystalView plus using an appropriate CPU adapter cable.
Page 19
Remote unit to KVM station cabling (Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6) On the remote unit, the KVM station’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables are connected directly to the CrystalView Plus keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors. Serial/audio models (Refer to page 10 for a description of serial and audio cabling) Serial port The serial port on all models is a DB9F on the local unit and DB9M on the remote unit.
Dual Video cabling (Refer to Figure 3 & Figure 7) The CrystalView Plus dual video models provide total access to one PC and the ability to view a second video source from an extended distance over a pair of CATx cables. The second video source connected to the local unit can be any separate, composite TTL level, or sync on green video source.
Page 21
Remote unit to KVM station cabling (Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7) On the remote unit, the KVM station’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables are connected directly to the CrystalView Plus keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors. Connect a second monitor to view the second video source.
Quad Video Remote Unit cabling (Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8) Video #4 Video #3 Video #2 Video #1 Figure 8. Quad video cabling For Quad video systems, the local units consist of two dual video units. Connect these units as described in the dual video section. The Remote unit’s KVM station’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables are connected directly to the CrystalView Plus keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors.
Connecting to a Rose KVM switch The CrystalView Plus can further enhance your system by connecting the local unit to a Rose KVM switch. This provides remote access to as many as 1,000 computers (depending on the type of KVM switch and topology configuration).
KEYBOARD COMMANDS Keyboard commands Note: Use only the numeric keys above the keyboard to initiate the keyboard commands from the remote unit. Do not use the numeric keypad. Command Command Mode Exit Command Mode and save Exit Command Mode without saving Select Channel 1, 2, 3, or 4 Select Channel 0 Reset EQ &...
Keyboard command descriptions Command mode – [L-Ctrl] + [L-Shift] + [F10] Entering the command mode sends the remote units keyboard instructions to the CrystalView Plus instead of the connected computer. In the command mode, the yellow LED on the remote units RJ45 connector for channel 1 will light indicating that the unit is in the command mode.
Page 26
Reset EQ & Delay values – [L-Ctrl] + [Home] Issuing this command resets the LF and HF equalization and the red, green, and blue delay values for the selected channel. Next Assisted EQ setting – [L-Ctrl] + [PgUp] This command resets the LF and HF equalization settings, then each time the command is issued, incrementally steps through a table of preset LF and HF equalization values for different cable lengths in 25m increments from 0 to 375m.
Page 27
Toggle RED delay – [L-Ctrl] + [R] Each time this command is issued, the RED video component delay is toggled between 0 and 19ns. Toggle GREEN delay – [L-Ctrl] + [G] Each time this command is issued, the GREEN video component delay is toggled between 0 and 19ns.
Reset keyboard and mouse – [F1] Pressing the [F1] key while in the command mode will reset the keyboard and mouse, and then exit the command mode. Use this command if the keyboard or mouse lock up or the mouse does not initialize properly.
Page 29
Reset the local keyboard and mouse If the local keyboard or mouse locks up, you can reset them by issuing the reset command. Press the “HOT-KEY”, then [Num Pad Left Arrow] (generally the “4” key on the numeric keypad) Send NULL mouse byte If there is erratic movement of the mouse pointer, issue the NULL mouse byte command.
If possible, display this test card on the remote unit to adjust. The online location of the test card is: http://www.rose.com/htm/crvtestcard.htm. If displaying the test card is not possible, display some text in a large font on a white background. Also open a windows application and check the text in the tool bars and icons on the desktop for clarity and correct colors.

In summary, adjusting the video consists of: 1. Enter the Command Mode 2. Select the video channel to adjust 3. Display the test card or a created straight line graphic that is equally divided into three color parts, RED, GREEN, and BLUE 4.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operating instructions- All units Once the Remote and Local Units are connected and configured, the Remote KVM station’s keyboard, video monitor and mouse will function as if it were directly connected to the CPU. All applications, upgrades and PC configurations can be performed normally. Each Rj45 connector on the remote unit has two LEDs.
If you have any problems or questions concerning the installation, operation or usage of the CrystalView Plus that is not covered in this manual, please contact Rose Electronics for technical support. Image is not sharp / smeared Improper video equalization adjustment.

Only video is required, but no picture appears. The probable cause is that power to the Local Unit is not applied. The Local Unit obtains its power from the CPUs keyboard port. A keyboard cable must be connected from the Local Unit to the CPU even if no keyboard is required.
This Unit does not contain any internal user-serviceable parts. In the event a Unit needs repair or maintenance, you must first obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number from Rose Electronics or an authorized repair center. This Return Authorization number must appear on the outside of the shipping container.
