Quad video systems consist of two dual video local units and a single quad video remote unit. Video source #2, #3 and #4 route only the video to the remote unit.

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. Connect a second monitor to view the second video source. Connect a third and fourth monitor to view these video sources.

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).

Applying power

(All models)

Plug in the power adapter to a 100/240-volt source and to the power connector on the Remote Unit. Only use the power adapter provided with the CrystalView Plus. Boot up the connected CPU and wait for it to completely boot-up. The Local Units power is supplied from the CPUs keyboard port. If additional power is required at the local unit due to extended cable lengths or only passing video through the CrystalView Plus, connect the optional

+5V DC power adapter to the local units +5V DC power jack.

The video image quality may be poor at this point due to cable lengths, types, or patch panels. Video adjustments are performed from the remote unit using simple keyboard commands.

Table 1 shows the keyboard commands and key sequences used to initiate the command.
