CrystalView Pro Fiber

KVM station extender. The CrystalView Pro Fiber is a very versatile KVM
extender. It supports the latest digital DVI as well as analog VGA. All
combinations of DVI and VGA monitors and video cards are supported.
With this flexibility, you can connect a VGA video card to a DVI monitor, or
a DVI video card to a VGA monitor.
The modular architecture design of the CrystalView Pro Fiber provides the
flexibility to support PS/2 and SUN connections and different cable types
such as Multimode fiber and Singlemode fiber. A serial port can be added
to support Touch-Screen. Stereo audio, USB, parallel port and other
custom interfaces can also be added.
The system consists of two Units, a transmitter and a receiver. The
transmitter connects to your CPU or a Rose switch and the receiver
connects to a keyboard, video monitor and mouse or KVM station. The
transmitter and receiver are connected together with industry standard
multimode or singlemode fiber optic cable. The receiver can be up to
33,000 feet from the transmitter using singlemode fiber cable
The CrystalView Pro Fiber is available in several models, the PC model,
the Sun model and a USB model. The PC model is available with
transmitter and receiver KVM access. The transmitter KVM version allows
an additional KVM station to be connected to the transmitter unit.
Using the CrystalView Pro Fiber to remotely access your computer has
several advantages over conventional CAT-5 cable. Using fiber cable, you
can extend the distance between the transmitter and receiver up to 33,000
feet. In addition, fiber cable is unaffected by electromagnetic interference,
keeping your data safe from interference by lightning and over voltage
transients. Computers used in hazardous industrial environments can be
accessed remotely, keeping the users safe and unexposed to any hazards.
