Overview

CrystalView Mini KVM extender consists of a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The transmitter unit connects to a computer using an adapter cable, and the receiver unit connects directly to a keyboard, video monitor, and mouse using standard VGA and PS/2 ports. Together, the transmitter and receiver units are capable of extending the distance between the computer and KVM station by 150 feet using a CAT5 cable. The maximum resolution supported is 1600 x 1200, which is available up to 100 feet, and steadily declines to 1280 x 1024 at 150 feet.

CrystalView Mini is offered in the following models:

  • The single access model supports only 1 KVM and 1 CPU
  • The dual access model supports 2 KVMs connected to 1 CPU, with 1 KVM being connected to the transmitter unit, and the other connected to the receiver unit.

The integrated keyboard and mouse emulation makes the device plug-and-play with no configuration needed. Like other KVM switches and extenders, the dual access model allows control of the CPU from either KVM on a shared first-come first-serve basis.
